ON THE HUNT FOR IDEAS
A week in which to sniff out the latest trends from young designers and important names.
Time to locate the right spot for a photo-shoot, take notes and work out the direction in which Italy’s - and not just Italy’s - creativeness is moving.

As we all know, creativity needs constant feeding!
