This year, Fornari e Associati was once again involved in the Master “Made in Italy, Fashion and Luxury Management” organized by the LUM University – School of Management.
The master’s course was created to train professionals with the skills necessary to work in the #fashion and #luxury industry, to identify new business opportunities in international markets and to build and manage projects in the creative industries with high quality strategies. The training program emphasizes the importance of the specific characteristics of the Italian system and its creativity and ability to innovate, which allow Italian brands to stand out in the most important international markets.
As is well known, companies active in the fashion and luxury sectors have, especially recently, attracted the attention of the Public Prosecutor’s Offices for several reasons.
On the one hand, well-known companies have been subject to the preventive measure of judicial administration, held responsible for having culpably facilitated illegal intermediation and labour exploitation within companies in the supply chain.
On the other hand, companies in the sector suffer significantly from the phenomenon of counterfeiting, which in the clothing and cosmetics industries alone has led to – EUIPO estimates – sales lost for 15 billion euros and over 190,000 fewer jobs.
Our Partner Enrico Di Fiorino, who has been part of the Master’s faculty since the first edition, and our Associate Viola Molteni have explored these complex issues in depth, looking first at the social impact of the analyzed phenomena and then examining the regulatory and jurisprudential framework.
