For the fifth consecutive year, the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards were presented by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI) at the Teatro Alla Scala in Milan on Sunday September 25th. The event, which was attended by 1,500 guests, was moderated by the Spanish actress Rossy de Palma.
The last time the prize was awarded in digital form was two years ago. Since then, the CNMI has further developed it, expanding the criteria for promoting sustainable development in the fashion industry across all essential areas such as eco-responsibility, innovation, commitment to craftsmanship, diversity, circular economy, human rights and environmental justice.
