The fashion week that recently ended gave us a great injection of optimism with our brands Alberta Ferretti, Moschino and Pollini whose collections were received with great enthusiasm. We hope that the current geopolitical instability will be followed by a phase of renewed balance and growth that I believe will give an important boost to the fashion and luxury sector, a strategic and central asset for our country's economy".
