Carpi has a solid, illustrious tradition in the fashion world. It brings together big brands and a dense network of SMEs whose strengths lie in innate internationalization capacities and the quality for which the “Made in Italy” label is renowned. They masterfully fuse creativity, accomplished designs and fine workmanship. The local area is one of the top textiles and clothing manufacturing hubs in Italy and one of just a few in Europe to have historically specialized in making and selling knitwear and other items of clothing.

Now taking place for the seventh time, Moda Makers is the leading event in the field. It attracts hundreds of buyers from all over the world to Carpi in the heart of the textile and clothing district, which is the driving force behind the Emilia Fashion Valley.
