The significantly increased participation of both buyers and exhibitors demonstrated that the event regained its position as an international leader in the kidswear market. The diverse brand mix (230 brands, 140 brands from abroad) presented at Fortezza da Basso effectively captured the attention and needs of the leading buyers in the sector. The emphasis on quality, selection, sustainability, and curation in the pavilions drove the success of the entire event. At the end of the three-day event, over 2,100 buyers were registered, including 1,500 Italian buyers and nearly 600 foreign buyers from almost 70 countries.
