Modenese, honorary president, National Chamber of Italian Fashion, is the man who had the right idea at the right time and, as a result, put Milan firmly on the fashion map, marking it irretrievably the fashion capital of the world, with a stylish turnover of around 48 billion euros. He is the lone brain behind the concept of Fashion Week, as it is known today, the backbone of the global fashion industry. His biodata presents a seamless listing of great ideas, well-known brands and awards for exceptional contributions to the fashion industry. He is the man who hobnobs with the cream of the Italian fashion fraternity and organises the world’s most important style events.
