“WORLD of FASHION launches a message of hope: intercultural dialogue is possible if we use the language of fashion and, more generally, of the arts “said Nino Graziano Luca. A philosophy confirmed backstage: the perfect interaction between the designers in harmony with the atmosphere in the parterre.
