On
the day that UK citizens vote in an election that will either
pave the way for Brexit or propel the country toward another
referendum on the issue, CNMI's president said Italy's fashion
capital would host Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and
streetwear brand A-Cold-Wall by Samuel Ross.
A spokeswoman for McCartney said the designer would hold casual
appointments in Milan over the selling campaign and not a
fashion show. McQueen will host a presentation.
"It's a political message of collaboration. Too many frontiers
aren't good for the fashion system. Surely, it is also a message
from our English friends to say that even with Brexit, they want
to keep being part of the (European fashion) system," Carlo
Capasa said in a news conference.
He added that fashion was a "bridge between nations".
While it will be the first time in Milan for Samuel Ross -
nominated as British Emerging Menswear Designer of the year at
the 2018 Fashion Awards - McCartney and McQueen are not new to
the Milan fashion week.
McCartney showcased her designs in June's Men collections.
McQueen was last in Milan in 2014.
A space for a "London show room" in which 10 emerging English
designers and five Italians will be presented, will also be
opened during Milan's fashion week, which will run Jan. 10 - 14.
