“The Fabric Program” is the initiative launched by Milano Unica, CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) and the Milano Unica exhibitors to promote young talents.

This second edition aims at facilitating the communication between the sector’s leading companies and the designers associated with in the most important US fashion institution, bringing together American designers and the best Italian Italian fabric manufacturers and increasing their knowledge about Made-in-Italy techniques and production methods. 

Three designers: Rachel Comey for women, Siki Im for men and Jonathan Meizler (Title of Work) for accessories. They were given an opportunity to work with the fabrics and accessories presented during the past edition of Milano Unica. The materials will be used for the new collections to be presented during th New York Fashion Week.

Thanks to the contribution by ICE Agency, the three designers had a chance to visit the businesses in loco and Rachel Comey will attend the trade show next July.

“We are very proud to be working with US designers,” said Ercole Botto Poala, President of Milano Unica. “Showing them Italian excellence in terms of craftsmanship is a very special opportunity for us, just as transferring our heritage to the future designer generations, who will represent the fashion industry tomorrow.”
