THE ETHICAREI CASE "Despite recent scandals over made-in-Italy products a small, virtuous supply chain is changing the rules. A year ago Caterina Occhio, Micaela Le Divelec Lemmi and Caterina Micolano founded ETHICAREI the first ethical supply chain in Italy guaranteed by the World fair trade organization. Ethicarei focuses on textile packaging, leather goods and footwear production, matching profit and nonprofit organizations and schools with workplaces, with the aim of increasing the inclusion and involvement of disadvantaged communities in companies and brands.” Read below the full article by Laila Bonazzi on LifeGate. #ETHICAREI #AroundTheWorld

Good news for the fashion system. As reported by Pambianconews, yesterday, an agreement was signed in Confindustria (the Confederation of Italian Industry) according to which Confidustria Moda and Sistema Moda Italia will work together again and exploit synergies. At this historic moment when the fashion industry is going through not only a crisis but a structural change in consumption, accompanied by the impact of sustainability, having a joint instrustrial plan to support, foster and grow Italian fashion companies becomes crucial. As pointed out by both associations, the production system represented by the two federations generates a turnover of almost EUR 100 billion, employing more than 500 thousand men and women workers and including more than 50 thousand companies. Moreover, Italy is the leading exporter of textiles, fashion, and accessories in Europe (and the second in the world after China), with a trade balance of over 26 billion euros in 2023. Let's allow the fashion system to shine again and represent the beautiful and well-made, which has considerable growth potential: if Italy were to improve its production capacity, this could translate into an increase in exports of the beautiful and well-made equal to 53.9 billion euros over the next five years

Mystery Mogul - One of the biggest success stories in Italian fashion over the last decade has been New Guards Group. The Milan streetwear platform rose to prominence thanks to brands such as OffWhite Co. and Palm Angels and was acquired by FARFETCH in 2019. (Since then, the trend has turned. The current situation seems to be difficult.) NGG was founded by a Claudio Antonioli, Marcelo Burlon and Davide De Giglio. The three men complemented each other perfectly. Claudio, owner of ANTONIOLI GROUP, is the retail and distribution expert. Marcelo is a marketing genius and knows everyone who’s someone. Davide is the production wizard. Whereas Claudio and Marcelo talk to the press, Davide keeps a low profile. Because he stays behind the scenes, The Business of Fashion once called him the “Mystery Mogul”. Now Davide has revealed that he has acquired a majority stake in the label of designer Umit Benan. His plans? A secret for now, but Angela Tovazzi has pieced together the main facts in a story for FASHION Magazine.
