The issue covers the impact of Trump's tariffs on the luxury sector, new creative directions, and the economic-financial crisis affecting quarterly reports of luxury groups. It features a comprehensive mapping of Italian fashion, design, and art academies from North to South. The newsletter also highlights Copenhagen Fashion Week (August 4-8), the first global fashion week with mandatory sustainability requirements, now ranked fifth after Paris, Milan, New York, and London. An exclusive interview with COO Isabella Rose Davey discusses leadership challenges and international collaborations. Other stories include Demna's departure from Balenciaga after his last Couture show to join Gucci, Dolce&Gabbana's 40th anniversary and 12 years of Alta Moda in Rome, Schiaparelli's upcoming V&A celebration in 2026, Loro Piana under judicial administration for alleged labor exploitation, and the Haute Couture Week's success. The issue also explores the 'maranza' uniform trend in Balenciaga's Fall/Winter 2025 show, with Angelo Leonardo's project 'Le Monde ou Rien' documenting Milan's suburbs since 2019. Curated by Alessia Caliendo, Margherita Cuccia, and Giulio Solfrizzi.
