A highly successful first edition involved 4 design workshops done by prestigious designers in the world of the footwear design, such as Armando Pollini, Marco Censi & Guillaume Hinfray , Federico Lagger, Franklin Elman; and as a result, 5 footwear prototypes were displayed in Bologna during the Fair LINEAPELLE.
