Super 7 Milano

Super is a new project created by Pitti Immagine and Fiera Milano, dedicated to accessories and women’s ready-to-wear clothing. The project aims to promote the culture of innovative products and new outlooks in accessories, bringing together established firms and emerging brands in a totally new presentation. It will promote young Italian designers and welcome foreign talents, as well as stage eye-opening events.

This exhibition is held during the spring/summer edition of the Milan Fashion Week, which runs from September 21 to 27, 2016. Established in 1958, it is part of the global “Big Four Fashion Weeks”, the others being the Paris Fashion Week, London Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week. The Milan Fashion Week will include more than 40 shows during the season, transforming the city into a touristic hub. This will provide a remarkable platform for participants to engage various opportunities and maximise their time in Milan.

City of Milan

Milan is the country’s economic and financial heart. The province of Milan is home to about 45% of businesses in the Lombardy region and more than 8% of all businesses in Italy, including three Fortune 500 companies. Milan is home to a large number of media and advertising agencies. It is also a major world fashion centre (with brands such as Armani, Versace and Valentino). The city is also an important manufacturing centre, especially for the automotive industry. Other important products made in Milan include chemicals, machinery, pharmaceuticals and plastics.
