Casual cruise or holiday collections have become more and more significant on the market, especially in the USA. This gap on European trade shows is to be filled in Italy by the Fashion Chamber (CNMI) which intends to create Milano Moda Pre-Collezioni Spring / Fall.

Moreover, the CNMI has thought about another project called Milano Moda Design, for the International furniture trade show with the Home collection presentation. An initiative reminding us of the event organized by the R2ITH at Maison & Objet.

Last, the CNMI has got together with Maven to develop and promote the Abu Dhabi Fashion Week with North African and Middle Eastern designers and with the participation of famous Italian houses.
