Ecco Leather recently hosted the 2022 edition of its now famous annual workshop for designers, Hot-Shop, writes Leatherbiz.
This was the fifteenth time the footwear brand’s in-house leather manufacturer had hosted creative talent from across the world at its tannery in the Netherlands.
Talks, presentations, demonstrations and hands-on sessions were all part of an event that aimed to expand the designers’ knowledge of and love for leather. Those taking part were also invited to “reimagine” leather.
After the event, Ecco’s chief executive, Panos Mytaros, who ran the leather division for many years, commented: “Fifteen years after the first Hot-Shop, we have created and nurtured an amazing community of creatives consisting of more than 2,000 people.”
He added that this community would keep growing and that the Hot-Shop event would continue to evolve.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
