“I wish to thank the Members for the trust invested in me with this re-election. It’s an appointment I take up with a strong sense of responsibility at a time when Italian fashion is being called upon to face major challenges, but also to reassert its strategic value for our country. Awareness of this situation led us to ‘Il Bello della Moda’ (The Beauty of Fashion), the first observatory designed to measure the value of our industry. We plan to help communicate Italian fashion in its entirety, backed up by data and analysis, to go beyond narratives that too often focus solely on the critical aspects and to offer a wider vision and a fuller representation of the value that our industry generates for the country every day: not only economic but also in terms of culture, employment,” said Carlo Capasa, chairman, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana.
Cnmi's core principles
Over the last two years, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana has continued to work along the lines of its strategic plan to consolidate work on the Association’s main pillars: narration of the fashion industry, training for and promotion of new brands, environmental and social sustainability, institutional and international relations and ongoing development of the Milano Fashion Weeks, of course, which are major international events in the sector.
Il Bello della Moda, the first observatory designed to measure the value of Italian fashion
During the session dedicated to fashion industry stakeholders, Il Bello della Moda (The Beauty of Fashion) was presented as the first observatory designed to measure the value of the fashion sector and highlight its industrial, occupational, educational, cultural, and social dimensions. Set up with support, among others, from McKinsey & Company acting as Knowledge Partner, and with the contribution of IntelliSurvey and Angelo Rughetti. The Observatory will gradually involve universities, research centres, including Open Impact, and Italian and international institutions. It will take shape through periodic publications focusing on the various aspects that make up Italian fashion.
