“The upcoming Milano Fashion Week is one of a series of concrete initiatives in response to the new scenario now facing the fashion industry and offers a dynamic solution to its complexities,” said Carlo Capasa, chairman of Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. “Our platform was designed right from the start to have a life of its own and to support both digital projects and physical fashion shows. As shown by the figures for the last few editions, it has also turned out to be an incredible resource for addressing important topics, such as sustainability and inclusion in this edition. We are very happy to collaborate with the Fashion Film Festival Milano, which for the first time will be within our fashion week, enriching our schedule with the highest quality content, even in the days leading up to our Fashion Week.”
