Rome Cancels Couture

AltaRoma has announced its decision to cancel its scheduled Couture showcase that was slated to run between January 31 and February 2 next year. The organisation, which usually holds two fashion weeks annually, stated that it cannot afford to put on both this year due to lack of public funding.

"I hope that through the members' commitment we can break this deadlock," Silvia Venturini Fendi, AltaRoma president, told WWD. "I'm afraid that we might miss a useful occasion to reconfirm the trust in public involvement aimed at supporting development and giving hope to one of the most important productive sectors for the future re-launch of our country."
