The Micam Fair is a showcase offering a preview of the coming fashions and the Shoes that will be in the shops and on the consumers' feet in Italy and in the most important international markets the same season one year later. Micam is great Italian’s most well international Shoes Fair in Italy. Micam is the Shoes Fair that presents the vastest international panorama of footwear fashion trends and it is organized in Milan on September and March. Elegance, trends, informality and experimentation: these are the main themes of Micam Shoes Fair, the top international showcase for footwear fashion trends, which has presented the collection for springs-summer 2005 in the halls of Fiera Milano from September 18 to 21. Last Shoes Fair’s edition opened its doors in September. Lots in store for buyers with 1,300 exhibitors and over 2,000 Spring/Summer 2005 footwear collections. From the variety of designs and styles on show, it is clear that fashion designers are certainly not going through a slump, capable as they are of producing, entirely new collections and season after season. Nowdays, such an abundance of designs available, choosing a piece of clothing, a bag or a shoe is no longer just a question of style but of lifestyle. The figures regarding the autumn Micam were particularly exciting. There was an increase in the number of exhibitors, confirming the importance of an event keenly awaited by the top Italian and international buyers. Micam’s organizers, also say they are expecting 34,000 visitors to attend at this year's event.
