We are in the midst of Milan Fashion Week, an edition that, as often happens with the women’s calendar in September, is very rich and well-stocked. This year the shows are all very enjoyable, the events packed, the stars sparkling, and the double appointment of Vogue World in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the CNMI gala at Palazzo Reale, where Giorgia Meloni was among the guests, have made the first days of the schedule nothing short of juicy. On Tuesday the new Digital Cover of nss magazine was released, titled The Intern, which collects the stories and archive photos of some of the most iconic designers on the Italian and international scene. On Wednesday and Thursday there were then the first two appointments of The Other Way, the cycle of talks and meetings organized by nss magazine that brought the public into contact with Francesco Risso and Eugene Rabkin. Meanwhile, yesterday, between Gucci and The Attico there was no shortage of equally brilliant shows, while the weekend awaits us with many other appointments all worthy of attention.
