Not Just a Label and Fiera di Vicenza are renewing their partnership with the third edition of the concept show Origin Passion and Beliefs, set to be held on September 6-8 at Fiera di Milano's new exhibition centre.

Their collaboration began in 2014 with the first instalment of the show, which brings together a selection of 50 innovative emerging fashion design talents with Italy’s most distinguished manufacturers and suppliers. Aimed at nurturing the local manufacturing industry, the event provides a hub for emerging businesses to connect with traditional and regional manufacturing houses.

International press and buyers will also be present at the show.

This September will be the first time Origin Passion and Beliefs is presented in Milan, as the 2014 and 2015 editions were held in Vicenza. The move was supported by the Made in Italy Promotion Plan, established by the Italian Minister of Economic Development, said NJAL.

The show will be divided into four key areas, Leather, Stone, Textiles and Technology, which will represent the distinctive industrial clustering in Northern Italy. 

NJAL designers who have produced a minimum of 6 commercial collections and have worked with Italian manufacturers before are encouraged to register their interest by Friday 24th June 2016.
