Milan Design Week 2023
The Elephant in The Room
From 17 to 23 April 2023, The Elephant In The Room (Let's Talk About it) will take place at Castello Sforzesco in the heart of Milan – A supply chain exhibition that celebrates the textile creation process and proudly presents what's behind the hidden labels to provide a better understanding of the complexities and challenges in this industry.
