Milano Unica and fashion

Milano Unica and the holistic approch to fashion: from trends to young generations, services and other events devoide of jet set but rich in soul. 

 

Milan, July 11, 2017. The anticipation of the September appointment to July with new and prominent exhibitors operating in the womenswear segment (+ 29%) confirmed the determination of the organizers in completing the exhibition with the integration of several services, events and special areas that enrich the visit to the Trade Show with a holistic approach, where fashion is considered as an aggregate. Upstream and downstream, tradition and future, expertise and training, art and artisanal workmanship, celebration and soul, hospitality and wine and food culture. Milano Unica and its Special Areas: Origin Passion and Beliefs, Japan Observatory and Korea Observatory.

In this context, attention to trends is crucial. In fact, trends have acquired an increasingly “fashion-oriented” approach over the years, serving as a true leitmotif between upstream and downstream businesses. The area dedicated to the collections of textiles and accessories produced based on the F/W 2018-19 suggestions represents, once again, an excellent visual guide to the designer collections. The trends and the dedicated Area were developed by Stefano Fadda and the Milano Unica Style Committee.

The initiatives dedicated to young talents, including The Fabric Program, organized in collaboration with CFDA and dedicated to emerging young talents, raised entrepreneurs’ interest towards the new generations. “It is key to create knowledge and awareness among future professionals and it is our duty to promote our values and the technicity of our products among youth,” said Ercole Botto Poala, President of Milano Unica.

The evening event is another flagship of the trade show, completing the framework. Since the onset, the organizers were well aware of the bond between good taste, textile art and the territory and, therefore, the need to contextualize the textile industry in its Italian and European cultural foundation. The art of the Renaissance, for instance, stems from the talent embedded in the Italian national heritage and developed, in turn, in the service of beauty, which has always been a typical characteristic of Italy. ON Tour is inspired by this concept: The dialogue between “made in Italy” and the world. The Campania Region and its “Capri Style” at Milano Unica. The Milano Unica ON Tour event deserves a special space, as it will be dedicated to Italian creativity, textiles know-how, good taste and sartorial style: the origins, the roots are in the soil, they come from the people, they are in the air. Milano Unica presents an Italy that is famous worldwide, beloved by many, through a new experience and new flavors, all to be tasted. This event will give a boost of energy to the XXV edition, the one of the new: “O’ sole mio” summer fashion, the colors and fragrances of the Campania region, its people and their spirit
