Until Monday, the Italian city of fashion will present its vision of style and trends, with 210 appointments<\/strong> in total: 68 fashion shows, more than 110 performances and about thirty events.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The last season of fashion shows had been put aside by the outbreak of war in Ukraine. But the Italians are back in the spotlight to present their latest spring-summer 2023 collections and thrill the world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This edition promises to be very well attended with the return of fashion professionals and customers: 300 journalists<\/strong> and 450 buyers<\/strong> are expected, including a Chinese delegation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The return of Asian customers marks a new era<\/strong> for Italian fashion after the pandemic. This is the first time in two years that Chinese customers have set foot in the Italian fashion capital.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As every year, the most expected houses are there: Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Moschino, Bottega Veneta or Gucci and Prada.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Others are also talking about them, in these first days of the week della moda<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marco de Vincenzo takes the helm at Etro<\/strong>, Andrea Incontri becomes the new artistic director of the colorful brand Benetton and Glen Martens impresses Milan with his giant inflatable sculpture in a stadium for the Diesel show.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although Europe is marked by the energy crisis, skyrocketing inflation and a shortage of raw materials, Italian Fashion Week is doing well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The turnover of Italian fashion would have increased by 25% in the first half of 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the opening of the Milanese fashion shows, Carlo Capasa<\/strong>, president of the Italian Chamber of Fashion, was ambitious: “In 2022, we will reach and even exceed the level of sales generated before the crisis of 2008, recording the highest revenues of the [Italian] fashion industry in 20 years<\/em>.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This growth, however, is partly due to higher prices, caused by the increase in raw materials and energy costs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “The impact of the energy crisis is significant on fashion because the entire upstream supply chain is energy intensive. To make a fabric or a bag, you need raw materials that consume a lot of energy<\/em>,” explained Carlo Capasa.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “The impact of the cost of energy on the product was 10%, and now it has jumped to at least 30%” he said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nevertheless, excluding inflation, at constant prices, the turnover of Italian fashion increased by 18%<\/strong> in the first half of 2022, returning to the level before the financial crisis of 2008.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Italy is fighting the crisis with heeled boots and soaring fabrics. Milan Week was able to slip through the cracks and is not planning to stop there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read also>London Fashion Week: tributes and sequins<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Featured photo : \u00a9Press [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row njt-role=”not-logged-in”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Until Monday, the Italian city of fashion will present its vision of style and trends, with 210 appointments<\/strong> in total: 68 fashion shows, more than 110 performances and about thirty events.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The last season of fashion shows had been put aside by the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
