the third edition of the International Roundtable on Sustainability, the annual
event which highlights the pivotal role of Milan in the development of an
international conversation about sustainability in the fashion industry; a
fundamental occasion for the circulation and exchange of competencies and
developing information among the most important actors of the sustainable
revolution occurring in the luxury fashion world.
