Registration for the 32nd edition of INSPIRAMAIS, the only materials design show for the footwear, apparel, furniture, jewelry, and automotive upholstery industries, is now open to visitors on its website at www.inspiramais.com.br. The event will host more than 150 exhibitors of products such as leathers, synthetic laminates, footwear components, chemicals, and other raw materials. It will take place at the Pro Magno Event Center in São Paulo, SP, from July 15 to 16.

Silvana Dilly, superintendent of the Brazilian Association of Companies of Components for Leather, Footwear and Artifacts (Assintecal), says that this edition will feature over a thousand innovative materials, all aligned with the “Human” inspiration research. “INSPIRAMAIS allows us to explore the versatility of materials, with innovations that serve a wide range of segments, from fashion to even the pet industry. It’s the place where fashion professionals and designers need to be,” she emphasized. Dilly added that the products on display will include a vast variety of leathers, synthetic laminates, biomaterials, metals, various embellishments, buckles, zippers, and soles, among others.
