On June 25th, Istituto Marangoni Paris hosted the Paris edition of INSIDE, an event created by Leather&Luxury, in collaboration with Pier Francesco Pitasi, Creative Director of MoodSign Studio, and Carlo Sorrenti, CEO of Domino Ego. Held at the Paris campus, this event brought together professionals from across the fashion system to explore the creative directions that will shape Fall/Winter 26–27 collections.

The event began with a trend forecasting presentation in the Orangerie, where Alberto Costabello, professor at the Paris school, unveiled four inspiring scenarios outlining upcoming color palettes, materials, and aesthetic themes. These insights aim to guide creative professionals and industry players through the evolving landscape of fashion innovation.

At 5 p.m., the INSIDE showroom opened its doors in the -1 SSL classroom. The space featured a curated display of innovative materials, prototypes, and cutting-edge techniques developed by leading Made in Italy manufacturers. From experimental leather treatments to forward-thinking textile applications, the showroom offered visitors a tactile experience of what’s next in luxury craftsmanship.

The event, designed for designers, product developers, and creative professionals, provided a rare opportunity to connect directly with pioneering companies in leather goods, RTW, footwear, and accessories — all with a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and excellence in Italian know-how.
