Inclusion, climate change and craftsmanship are the watchwords with which the Milan Fashion Week dedicated to proposals for her for next autumn winter opened.
In fact, the exhibition was inaugurated by the signing of an unprecedented memorandum of understanding in the world of fashion, signed by the National Anti-Racial Discrimination Office of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (UNAR), the National Chamber of Italian Fashion (CNMI) and the African Fashion Gate ( AFG).
The presence of the famous TikToker Khaby Lame sealed the agreement, intended to track, report and combat discriminatory phenomena in the entire fashion industry.

"With this signature at the beginning of fashion week we wanted to send an important message in the name of sustainability - said the president of the Chamber of Fashion, Carlo Capasa - also to stimulate increasingly virtuous behavior on the part of companies".
The second edition of the Masters of Excellence Award promoted by Métiers d'Excellence LVMH, in collaboration with Loro Piana, Confartigianato Imprese and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, goes in the direction of supporting craftsmanship.
"On behalf of the Group, we are aware - said Alexandre Boquel, Director of LVMH Métiers d'Excellence - of how unique Italian know-how and local skills are, and how these are unfortunately gradually disappearing. With the Maestri d'Award Excellence, we want to give a voice to all those artisans who carry out their craft with passion every day."
The climate emergency also made itself felt at the fashion week, with an installation created by CESVI: in via Paolo Sarpi a car devastated by gigantic hailstones draws attention to the damage caused by climate change.
"The choice to reiterate the alarm on the climate emergency in conjunction with Fashion Week - explained Gloria Zavatta, president of Cesvi - allows us to pay attention to a topic of absolute relevance in a moment of great visibility for Milan, city of fashion, but increasingly attentive to issues related to sustainability".
If the time to reverse the trend of climate change has expired, the time has come for Twinset's catwalk debut: the Carpi brand controlled by the American fund Carlyle celebrated its history with 34 releases - one for each year of activity - in a show opened by Natasha Poly and closed by Amber Valletta.
First time at Mfw also for Cult, a brand in the portfolio of the Zeis Excelsa group, while we will have to wait for the next few days for the debuts of some new creative directors highly anticipated by the experts: Walter Chiapponi from Blumarine, Adrian Appiolaza from Moschino, Matteo Drummers at Tod's.
Also thanks to events like these, from today to February 26, "110 thousand professionals from all over the world are expected to come to Milan, 15% more - noted Carlo Capasa - than the last edition".
Capasa, 'there are no scheduled appointments with Chiara Ferragni'
"I don't manage her agenda, there has been no contact, she goes on doing her own thing. There has been no contact and there are no scheduled appointments together and there weren't even last season."
Thus the president of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, Carlo Capasa, on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Fashion Hub in Milan, responded to those who asked him if Chiara Ferragni will be present at the Fashion Week starting tomorrow.
The digital entrepreneur has been part of the Advisory Committee of the Camera della Moda Fashion Trust since 2023.
