The collaborations developed in recent months have enabled it to promote scouting and networking activities, creating new synergies and opportunities within the industry. The goal is to consolidate a platform that not only highlights the latest trends in the sector, but also offers concrete business opportunities and cultural exchanges. New synergies and collaborations Milan and Paris, the two European capitals of fashion and elegance, meet in an unprecedented synergy in the jewellery sector thanks to the partnership with Bijorcha –Who’s Next Paris. This collaboration represents an extraordinary fusion of the artisanal excellence and design of both countries, offering brands and designers an opportunity to showcase their talents on highly prestigious international stages. In January, Milano Fashion&Jewels will be present at Bijorcha, the French trade exhibition dedicated to the world of jewellery. The event will not only offer ample networking opportunities and the chance to discover new trends but will also be a journey into the world of the French fashion system, as Bijorcha takes place simultaneously with WSN Paris. While in February, Bijorcha will take centre stage in Milan. During these days, the Lombard capital will become the vibrant heart of the jewellery industry, celebrating ‘the art of jewels’ through collections that will showcase the creativity and craftsmanship of designers, artisans, and businesses. This collaboration represents a journey through the fashion capitals, promoting the ‘art of jewellery’ as a shared heritage and highlighting the innovation and tradition that define the Italian and French cultures. The other collaborations that enhance the visibility of the exhibitions throughout the year include the ongoing partnership with Roma Jewelry Week, an initiative dedicated to promoting and showcasing contemporary, designer, and artistic jewellery. For 2025, Milano Fashion&Jewels will once again be the main partner of the initiative, awarding a prize to the best designer to create a piece that expresses a perfect balance between innovation, design, and competitiveness. The Roma event is scheduled for October 2025, but Roma Jewelry Week will be present at the upcoming February edition of Milano Fashion&Jewels, where it will showcase a preview of the new features planned for October. www.milanofashionjewels.com ON WITH THE SHOW 11
