The Fab Five Bridge Builders have carried out through their collections an exercise in education to the new Made in Italy: an exercise in multiculturalism experienced firsthand, and then applied to fashion. Creative directors Stella Jean and Edward Buchanan will serve as mentors and support voices for this exciting initiative which will be the first of many moving towards the future of a new Italy.

Also for this edition of Milan Fashion Week, the National Chamber of Italian Fashion in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan and Yes Milano has created the communication campaign for the fashion week, which from 14 September will be conveyed throughout the city through billboards and screens. Shot by Stefano Guindani, the campaign features two looks by Marco de Vincenzo.
