Known for showcasing avant-garde eyewear, the eleventh edition of DaTE is set to open its doors on September 9 and 10, 2023 at Stazione Leopolda in Firenze. In search of new worlds centered on the ever-evolving contemporary international eyewear scene, DaTE 2023 will offer new stylistic languages with references to the natural world, where the gaze is the primary focus even before eyewear, and the eyes are the tools used to see, observe and reflect from unprecedented, personal perspectives. This year, in partnership with LYF, which will be present in its dedicated area, DaTE will offer visitors and exhibitors new ways of encountering, where beauty and design blend to create universes, dimensions and dreams to explore. As the first important appointment of fall 2023 for the eyewear industry, DaTE will be an opportunity for trade professionals, creatives and designers to do business and exchange ideas. Thanks to ongoing vision research, the fair is being cited as an important resource for those seeking inspiration and influence.
