more Armani Fighting Words for Miuccia Prada
After calling the Italian designers showing in Milan (lookin 'at you, Miuccia) and reiterated his desire to extend the Milan Fashion Week ten full days, Giorgio Armani has taken another step taken to promote local talents: Today he announced, that he'll host the fashion show of young designers each season. It is a constructive gesture, especially since Milan is lagging in several other cities - New York and London in particular - providing structure and resources for the next generation of the industry.
The initiative invites Armani designer each season to their collection to its well-appointed theater in Via Bergognone show the WWD reports. It starts the program with Andrea Pompilio, winner of Who's next talent search, expected his spring-summer collection 2014 good men on 22 Show in June, during the week of menswear will be. "It is time to act, to show that we have something for young designers," Armani said at the opening of the new Via Condotti store in Rome renovated today. "We need concrete measures to support the Italian fashion initiatives to give more strength and a sense of newness to the fashion week in Milan."
He also refutes the statement must show that Miuccia Prada Miu Miu in Paris to have enough time between two collections per season (points a week earlier Prada in Milan). "Someone said there was not enough time to produce two shows in the same week, but it is a motivation that [meet] I - I know," Armani said. Gauntlet thrown! Not that Miuccia takes orders from no one, of course.
