More than one hundred collections of fabrics and accessories for beachwear, underwear and athleisure Made in Europe, events, workshops, trend forecasting, installations, a selection of the best ateliers of exclusive designs and contract manufacturers make MarediModa the real must-attend event for the sector. A unique opportunity to have access to the most qualified overview available globally. A busy schedule is offered of trend talks, fabric and yarn developments, designer competitions and expert speakers.
At a time like this of great uncertainty and reconfiguration of the global textile system our show stands as a reference of excellence, creativity and innovation. In its extraordinary topicality, twenty-two years after the first edition, everything has changed around us except our idea of making a system. Those who come here have always known that they will be able to touch the best European textile collections not only from the sectors we represent but also from complementary ones because if it is true that contamination and fluidity are central themes in international fashion today, the companies in our circuit are called upon to accompany designers in their choices of technical, creative, traceable and controlled-origin fabrics with the most diverse uses. Technique, innovation, real sustainability and strong expertise make our collections the most inspired in the world, a source of ideas and insights for the creation of unique masterpieces”.
Claudio Taiana, President of MarediModa
To complete the textile proposal, MarediModa, since 2007, has been giving space to a quality representation of Makers, i.e., the most reliable partners in the creation of private label collections to guarantee unique support and accompaniment at every stage of creation up to the finished garment.

MELISSA ODABASH AND AGUACLARA AWARDED THE MAREDIMODA CREATIVE EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2024
A traditional event to recognize and celebrate the value of companies with a long and prestigious history in the underwear and beachwear universes, the “MarediModa Creative Excellence Awards” for 2024 will be given to Melissa Odabash and Aguaclara.
An international award that aims to highlight the coolest companies on the global market that operate with a virtuous and responsible approach. To Melissa Odabash, a leading British brand, for its ability to combine high fashion with swimwear wearability, offering designs that are both luxurious and contemporary while maintaining a timeless aura of sophistication. In Aguaclara, a Peruvian brand known worldwide for its creativity, sophistication, and enhancement of high-quality printed fabrics. Together with elegant design for a harmonious and enveloping style.
FLASH and SEAM PROJECT
Fabrics that become prototypes. Creativity unveiled and revealed. The Flash project, in its third edition, is growing and the idea is to tell the story of fabrics through prototypes to produce and promote a new expressive language with photos and videos that can best enhance them to inspire and engage. In parallel, the spin-off SEAM, an exhibition area dedicated to the savoir-faire of the contract garment makers present at the fair
ATH PROJECT
Among the exclusive projects tagged MarediModa, ATH certainly represents the one that most digresses outside the traditional language but now seems to be part of it because sports-inspired clothing has never been so inclusive. Today it draws from a wide variety of fields, and jersey fabrics, the exhibitors at Cannes with their technology and high stylistic edge, are also at home in this environment. In the ATH Project area, innovative fabrics from nine industry leaders are transformed into athleisure garments that anticipate tomorrow’s trends. Created by ISGMD, the fashion academy partner of the fair, the garments in the ATH gallery are designed to inspire and to anticipate, to ignite a visionary spark about the athleisure to come.
