"The centre will contain a large museum dedicated to suits, as well as other areas showcasing collections by Made in Italy, a training centre, a space for gathering start-up textile companies and another one for organising catwalk shows," explained Stefano Boeri. The centre will be located at the Palazzo delle Scintille, a historic building with a total area of 8,000 square metres, situated in Milan’s old congress and exhibition centre. “It is a symbolic location; the only building of the old ‘Fiera Milano’ that was preserved after the exhibition was transferred to the town of Rho, in the outskirts of the city," said the deputy-mayor.
Currently in redevelopment, this vast area, which previously hosted Milan trade shows, should now be transformed into a new residential area. "It is too early to provide more information on this new fashion centre. We will reveal more details at the launch of the tender for the management of the centre,” concluded Boeri.
