Early to the Party — Spring/Summer 2026

Lineapelle September, 2025

Absent Findings was invited to present its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Early to the Party, during Lineapelle Designers Edition in Milan — a prestigious international platform dedicated to celebrating leather, craftsmanship, and innovation.

Presented on Monday, 29 September 2025 at the Spazio Lineapelle, Early to the Party marked an evolution of the Maison’s language. The collection focused on the icons of Absent Findings — its leather goods — which stood at the center of the narrative, complemented by a ready-to-wear offering that explored elongated silhouettes, architectural draping, and surrealist undertones.

A Global Platform for Leather and Innovation

Lineapelle is the world’s most important fair for the leather, accessories, components, and fashion industries, bringing together over 1,150 exhibitors from 37 countries and 25,000 visitors from more than 100 nations each season.

Its Designers Edition, now in its eighth iteration, moved to the heart of Milan to create an urban stage where fashion presentations, installations, and artistic dialogues converge.

Beyond being a showcase, Lineapelle is a cultural and creative laboratory that amplifies the work of emerging and established designers who use leather in innovative ways. Supported by UNIC – Concerie Italiane and the City of Milan, it has become a cornerstone of Milan Fashion Week, offering designers visibility on a global stage.

Absent Findings at Lineapelle

At Spazio Lineapelle, Absent Findings presented Early to the Party alongside a curated selection of leading accessory brands. The collection expanded on the Maison’s debut, My Personal References, deepening its narrative through psychological nuance and refined construction. Leather handbags emerged not as accessories, but as central vessels of memory and movement, seamlessly intertwined with the garments.

This presentation marked a significant milestone for Absent Findings — a recognition of its design language within one of the most influential forums for material innovation and contemporary fashion.
