This week, we were proud to support Convivio at their annual gala dinner in Milan.   Founded more than 30 years ago, Convivio is one of Italy’s most powerful organisations, combining charity with fashion and design to support Anlaids ETS and its ongoing research, prevention projects and community support.   This year, the gala took place at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan with the patronage of the Lombardy Region, the Municipality of Milan and with the support of Vogue Italia.   For 2024, the theme “MAGIC” was captured by friend of The Bicester Collection and Fidenza Village, Pietro Terzini through creations that evoked light-heartedness, imagination and inspiration.   As we look to the future, we’re excited to support the ongoing efforts of Convivio in aid of Anlaids Lombardia ETS. #Convivio #Milano Emanuela Schmeidler

Last week at Lagos Fashion Week we hosted a roundtable discussion titled ‘The Fabric of Change’. This event brought together key industry voices to explore the intersection of fashion, culture and sustainability, with a particular focus on how these elements are a driving force for transformation within the African fashion industry.   With more than 20 years of supporting emerging talent, The Bicester Collection continues its mission to empower the next generation of African designers, such as Ahluwalia and Torlowei, through its mentorship programmes and retail opportunities, which showcase their collections to a wider audience across its portfolio of Villages in Europe, China and North America.   The roundtable continues The Bicester Collection’s six-year partnership with The National Chamber for Italian Fashion, contextualising both entities’ commitment to championing talent and delivering positive social, economic and environmental impact. Representing CNMI was their Diversity & Inclusion Ambassador, Tamu McPherson, alongside our Chief Brand and Communications Officer Laurent Vinay who took part in the discussion.   Through these conversations, the objective is to establish a new narrative for the African fashion industry – one that highlights creativity, encourages sustainability, and nurtures emerging talent for the future. #LagosFashionWeek #SustainableFashion #CircularFashion Omoyemi Akerele Style House Files
