VOICED : El movimiento Black Lives Matter revoluciona la moda italiana

The Black Lives Matter movement has influenced Milan Fashion Week, with five African-origin designers opening the event. Afrodescendants in Italy are gaining recognition beyond traditional roles, showcasing their 'Made in Italy' heritage. Founded in 2020, a collective against racism participated in Milan Fashion Week for the first time, with events held behind closed doors due to COVID-19. Historically, black designers were limited to Afro Fashion Week, but now Italy is embracing diversity. Despite 450 black stylists in Italy, only one joined the Cámara de la Moda in 2016. The organization now supports the collective with mentoring and funding.
