The designer Joy meribe born in Nigeria opened Milan Fashion Week on Wednesday with a collection of runways of his debut, concrete success for movement to promote diversity in Italian mode only a year after being launched.
Italian national fashion rooms tapped meribe to open six days of women’s clothing preview for the spring-summer 2022 after the first collection for the initiative “we made in Italy” last year found commercial success.
To point, they have created a database of more than 3,000 professional fashion with a variety of race and ethnic backgrounds living in Italy, including designers, merchandisers, photographers and stylists, with the aim of resting the idea that various talents are not available Italy.
But even when it marked the progress of the diversity made in this industry, the organizer said that a racist incident in a four-star hotel in Milan aimed at this year “Fab Five” underlined the work was still in front.
Ngonmo said that he was checking into the hotel with five women when the table clerter was roughly rejected routine requests by paying guests, showing that they were not there.
He posted an incident on social media and then spoke with management, who apologized and fired the two responsible workers.
“They humble us, take our humanity and treat us like animals.
It’s really bad,” said Ngonmo.
Jean said the incident “is proof that everything we do today, more than before, needs to be done.
It is a necessity.”
