In addition, President of Consorzio Moda in Italy, Mr. Roberto Corbelli, who is a specialist in research and analysis of trends, will further the discussion on agenda topics throughout the duration of the two-day affair.

He will be accompanied by the Italian Ambassador to Canada, H.E. Claudio Taffuri and the Italian Trade Commissioner to Canada, Matteo Picariello, as they continue to promote Italian SMEs in the fashion sector. 

A meeting with the aforementioned Italian organizations and the National President of CNA Federmoda, Marco Landi, is scheduled to take place on January 29 in Toronto.

The CNA Federmoda Association – Joining together the textile, clothing, shoe, fur & leather, fashion, eyewear manufacturers, and affiliate businesses, the CNA Federmoda Association protects and represents approximately 25,000 small-scale manufacturers and other SMEs in the Italian fashion industry, both private-label producers and third-party manufacturers.
