For his part, Rafael Calvo, the President of FICE, the Spanish Footwear Industries Federation, has declared that "at difficult moments it is increasingly important to join forces in order create a sense of synergy and facilitate the achievement of objectives. In this respect, the joint staging of SIMM and MODACALZADO-IBERPIEL is especially appropriate. Calvo adds that "the effort made by Ifema and the participating sectors to stage the fair on the most ideal dates simply reflects the strong sense of commitment made by the fashion industries to a future in which a united front at all levels is likely to provide the best guarantee of success".

Along the same lines, Borja Oria, the President of ACOTEX, the Textile and Accessory Trade Business Association, has offered his evaluation of the joint project: "It was an excellent idea to bring SIMM and MODACALZADO+IBERPIEL together. This is the current market trend. Fashion establishments need to be able to view the most comprehensive range of products possible at the same event, given that our customers wish to gain access to the widest variety of ideas, whilst also being interested in the total look approach".

As far as the dates are concerned, Oria believes that "they are undoubtedly appropriate, given that they do not coincide with the month of August; furthermore, the fact that the event takes place between Friday and Sunday means that all kinds of professionals can attend".
