MIDO
Milan's international eyewear exhibition, where frame makers show the coming year's shapes. 6 to 8 February 2027.
MIDO is the international optics and eyewear exhibition held each year at Fiera Milano Rho, outside Milan. Frame makers, lens makers, machinery suppliers and designers from around the world show their work to opticians and buyers, so it is where many of the year's frame shapes and colours are first seen. Italy has a long eyewear tradition, centred on the Belluno area in the Dolomites, and its makers show here alongside newer studios from Asia, Europe and the Americas. The 2027 exhibition runs from 6 to 8 February, dates that coincide with the start of the Lunar New Year.
