Louis Vuitton exhibition was a cultural experience and opportunity for our student to nurture their creativity🌹
Seeing up close inspiring pieces of the archive, artistic collaboration with iconic figures of the Art & Fashion industry was truly an enjoyable moment for the eyes and mind.

Thanks to the school to support me in coordinating this cultural experience and to Tutor Daniela Alonzo for accompanying the students.

A full day of sharing and learning. Showing the power of fashion trends, fashion history, and so much more to potential new students who decided to join the undergraduate programme.

“Green Sustainable Development” is an important matter in China and in the world.

The protection of the environment has already been placed at an unprecedented height.

Thanks to the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce CICC south China with the Shenzhen Garment Industry Association SGIA for organising, and inviting me to partecipate as a speaker at this important forum on “Sustainability in the Fashion Industry”.
My topic was about approaching sustainability through education, starting earlier than we are currently doing!!
Why starting when we reach college or university, when we have so many years of schools before us?? Let’s begin since young age to create a more sustainable and ethical mindset!

Listening to professional figures within the fashion industry is always an enrichment, it is a learning experience, not simply of new information but the different perspectives and approaches that people have.

Today the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce CICC supported by the Shenzhen Garment Industry Association SGIA, organized a beautiful event about the Industrial Development Road in the Post-Pandemic Era.

I am very glad to have been part of it as Speaker for the Italian Design Association IDA and had the same time having the opportunity to listen to distinguished speakers from Istituto Marangoni, Whittle School, Ellessay Group, Moreline Fashion Group, Maison X.U, and of course the organizers of the event.

Looking forward to the next time 🌹
