From February 24th to 27th, White Milano “Sign of the Times” presented the new collections of the brands from the Brazilian fashion internationalization program at Tortona Fashion District, Fashion Label Brasil, by ABEST and ApexBrasil: Thais Bernardes and Dotz.

Fashion, Network, Trends, Business
The financial results of the show add up to US$ 18,000.00 and US$ 31,000.00 with regards to expectations for new businesses in the next six months.
All at the same time
According to the organization, there were about 400 brands from all over the world and more than 20 thousand people in four exclusive locations. More than a fair, White Milan is considered to be a hub for brand exhibitions, a hybrid between an event and a showroom to offer consultancy and even a networking platform for companies that are rewriting the rules of supply chain in terms of sustainability and technology, with added value.
The interest in ecological and digital transition is particularly represented by the WSM (White Sustainable Milan Edition), a platform that gives visibility to industry operators and to sustainability and technology enthusiasts.
What we saw were alternative materials for new forms of production processes and for the consumer’s own experience. In addition, we could see physical products being launched physically, business units dedicated to the metaverse, and digital passports to attest the products’ sustainability. There was an unprecedented synergy between brands and gaming platforms seeking alternative forms of promotion.
With an intense cultural program that is complementary to the business, there were three targeted areas (lectures, workshops, and education) designed to involve and invite people not only fashion, culture, and technology professionals, but also the public and academic world to debate certain issues. Wired Italia, for example, participated through a program of exclusive lectures, dedicated to the intersection between fashion, innovation, technology, and sustainability.
“Sign of the Times”
“Key omnichannel platform for fashion operators, leader in the universe of information and international networking, with a consolidated strength able to connect nieche brands, contemporary fashion, business.”
“Sign of the Times comes from a need of creating something new, for us and for all of you. Sign Of The Times means accepting how times are changing and how much we are willing to be part of it through new projects and revolutionary ideas that give voice to the dreams of new generations”; “The world requires a new vision, a new point of view, to rethink together a new era of fashion, kinder and less hectic, for the individual and the environment. TIME, time, is an essential value. Let’s take care of our time together.”
