We asked the Patron of this Event Valeria Mangani to define what is her best definition about “Fashion”.
“FASHION IS A JOURNEY THAT BEGIN WITHIN AGRICULTURE ENDING WITH COMMUNICATION”
“Made in Italy” craftsmanship, unrivaled and recognized worldwide, is currently confronted with an unprecedented complex situation in rapid evolution and transformation. Historically, the main disruptive factors in these highly creative and traditional contexts were: generational change and globalization. These disruptive factors are currently being replaced by: innovative technologies, greater consumer competence and new geopolitical geometries.
Manufacturers and made in Italy brands that will not renew themselves will be disrupted in the short term by one of the following paradigm shifts:
• Technological factors such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, blockchain, industrial digitization, CRISPR, luxury up-cycling. These are just some of the inevitable factors in the immediate future.
• Keep up with unprecedented consumer expertise. Today, consumers expect a genuine commitment from brands to ethical and environmental values, not only as a brand narrative, but also as an integral part of the brand’s DNA. And it is for this reason that the ethical-environmental factor is mandatory to keep “digital-first” customers on the frontier of digital land-grab.
• The change in geopolitical policies has given way to higher tariffs, on-shoring, automated micro factories, and the general review of trade.
