“Fashion is a universal language that knows no differences or boundaries. It is a solid, well-established, and deeply international system, capable of serving as a model of excellence,” said Carlo Capasa, president of the Italian Chamber of Fashion.

“The Italian men’s fashion industry stands out as the most important globally thanks to its collaboration with Pitti Uomo, which alone will host 750 brands. In this context, Milan reaffirms itself as the place where this system finds its fullest expression. It is an open platform, capable of generating cultural and economic value for Italy and the world,” Capasa continued.

The new edition of Milan Men’s Fashion Week will present a rich and varied program that, in addition to the runways, will host numerous presentations and events, experimenting with different formats in a setting of prestige and visibility. “It is an investment in the future of Italian fashion: believing in talent means giving them the tools and the right environment to grow,” concluded Capasa.

Among the various initiatives supporting the next generation of talents, the Italian Chamber of Fashion has also established the Milano Fashion Institute, its new business school, which for the 2026/2027 academic year will offer specialized master’s programs, including courses in Fashion Branding and Communication Management, Fashion and Luxury Business Management, Fashion Marketing and Retail and Merchandising Management, Fashion Sustainability and Circular Economy Management, and Fashion Product Development and Collection Management.

Thanks to a partnership with the University of Campania General Luigi Van Vitelli, graduates of these programs will receive a dual qualification: a Master’s certificate from the Milano Fashion Institute and a first-level academic master’s degree officially recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education.

“These are courses with official academic standing that will be recognized both in Italy and abroad. We are currently forming new classes for these courses, which will train the future managers of our industry,” commented Capasa.
