Many people looking for milan fashion week as their news. “In Italy, where consumption has lowered, sales have been supported by tourists. In the Milan fashion quarter, where the most prestigious brands are concentrated, 60 percent of purchases were by foreigners,” Marzotto said. He still noted a slowdown however in the past two months in sales even to foreign buyers “due to uncertainties linked to Europe’s debt and a lack of clarity from the (Italian) government, which undermines consumer confidence.”
