Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana organized the 5th edition of Milano Moda Graduate, an event presenting the best talents of the Italian fashion schools, on June 14, 2019, as part of the recently finished Milan Fashion Week. John Lloyd Palomares (NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti) won YKK Italia prize (Milano Moda Graduate’s main partner).
“Reflecting Camera Nazionale della Moda’s constant attention to young talents, Milano Moda Graduate stands out as a unique initiative offering fashion students the access to an exclusive network of industry’s experts, able to accelerate their professional path.
During their Milano Moda Graduate’s adventure, finalists had the chance to attend special workshops and to receive unparalleled consulting activities from prestigious personalities in the sector. In particular, they discover the secrets behind the creation of luxurious Italian fabrics thanks to visits to the factories of high-end textile companies, such as Albini, Taroni, Clerici and Limonta. They got precious insights on fastening accessories by leading company YKK Italia and they had exclusive access to the atelier of Giorgio Armani’s Armani Privé couture line.“
