A fashion and accessories show for young people, organised by Feria Valencia that will take place for the first time in Madrid, where they will present all of their collections and new proposals for the upcoming Autumn/Winter 2014-2015. The event with the universe for children will take place on 24, 25 and 26 January in the Madrid Arena, Recinto Ferial Casa de Campo.
In this 78th Edition, FIMI reinvents itself to become the excellent international event where quality and competitive prices meet. For FIMI and for Feria Valencia, the new celebration of the event in Madrid is a challenge, a big challenge which marks the turning point in their career.

On the other hand, there will also be renowned international companies present such as Cakewalk, Donna Karan, Zadig&Voltaire, Jottum o Timberland.
Likewise FIMI is also becoming a global trade fair, focusing on young people’s fashion, footwear and accessories but open to the universe for children – a travelling exhibition whose first stop is in Madrid, with the participation of 483 national and international brands.
Feria Valenica awaits the participation of more than 9.000 buyers, from than 300 internationals from in and around Europe like China, USA, Peru and United Arab Emirates. To do this FIMI works on continuous collaboration with ICEX, Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade, and ASEPRI, the Spanish Association of Children’s Products.
