Camera della Moda President Gets Vocal on Made in Italy Ethics, Unveils 2025 Sustainable Fashion Awards
MILAN – Carlo Capasa is pushing back on the narrative that Made in Italy lacks ethics. The president of Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana got vocal on Wednesday defending the country's high-end fashion supply chain against ongoing claims describing it as failing to fulfill the principles of quality, work ethics and sustainability that the sector has long prided itself on. More from WWD Giorgio Armani Has Busy Plans for Its 50th Anniversary Celebrations in September EXCLUSIVE: Knwls Joins Milan Fashion Week Schedule EY Report Says Italy's GDP Could Shrink 1.4 Percent If U.S. Tariffs Hit 30 Percent Such allegations that have swirled in media reports and on social media follow recent cases of alleged workers' exploitation, abuse and sweatshop schemes in the Italian fashion supply chain. The most recent links Loro Piana to sweatshop subcontractors that the brand failed to properly audit and follows earlier similar incidents for Dior, Giorgio Armani, Valentino and Alviero Martini. All brands have been put under judicial administration, with the former two brands' probes fully resolved and the judicial administration procedures lifted. 'The message trickling down is wrong and dangerous. It conveys the idea that fashion equals labor exploitation and luxury is unethical,' Capasa said at the end of a press conference here to unveil the 2025 edition of the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards to be held in September. 'As much as it shouldn't exist entirely, the illegal supply chain is confined to a small portion,' he said, noting how according to reports from the National Institute for Statistics, or ISTAT, the sector allegedly employs illegally about 30,000 workers, compared to a total workforce of 600,000 people across its industrial operations. The tally, Capasa said, is far below other industries. 'According to our estimates, irregular suppliers contribute to just 2 to 3 percent of the high-end fashion production in the country,' he added. 'Brands are an injured party in these incidents. Compliant brands and supply chain players are negatively impacted by this,' he offered. 'How can it be in a brand's economical interest if it covers only 2 to 3 percent of production,' he continued. 'So who does have the best interest to portray this phenomenon as widespread?' Capasa questioned rhetorically. He suggested that bad publicity fueled by competitors — which he didn't name — has been ramping up as of late, aimed at denting Made in Italy's global recognition. The executive also refuted the assumption that discrepancy between manufacturing costs and related retail prices is proof of work abuse practices, as widely suggested in reports about the Loro Piana case, said to sell cashmere jackets with a price tag of 3,000 euros, which, through its subcontractors, would allegedly actually cost only 100 euros. As reported, the luxury label has denied this claim. 'It's a strategy to hit Made in Italy as the first global producer of high-end and luxury fashion,' Capasa opined. As reported, Camera Della Moda has not been taking these issues lightly. The fashion governing body is among signatories of the memorandum of understanding issued last May to tackle worker exploitation, undeclared work, tax evasion, and unfair contractual practices in the fashion supply chain. Promoted alongside the Milan Prefecture, Confindustria Moda and Confindustria Accessori Moda, among other entities, the non-legally binding memorandum entails an action plan to tackle those issues. Its scope is currently limited to the Lombardy region, which observers have described as one of its weaknesses. To this end, in a separate fashion roundtable held on Tuesday at the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, the same fashion associations and trade unions addressed the issue, urging the government to define a country-wide mandatory protocol to ensure the sector complies with fair work standards. 'Regular employment, traceability, and compliance must become systemic standards for the sector in order to safeguard our most valuable brand: Made in Italy,' said Confindustria Moda president Luca Sburlati. 'A unified national auditing protocol is not only desirable but also necessary and urgent. We may not fully realize it, but we are facing attacks even from abroad,' he offered. 'It is baffling that institutional players are unable to establish a mandatory nationwide system for certifying legality across the supply chain — one that ensures decent jobs and wages; compliance with the National Collective Labor Agreements signed by the most representative trade unions and employer associations; health and safety conditions, and measures to fight unfair competition. Such a system is essential to safeguard the entire manufacturing sector,' echoed unions Filctem Cgil, Femca Cisl and Uiltec Uil in a joint statement. 'The survival of the entire supply chain is at stake,' concurred Capasa on Wednesday. In keeping with its mission to support the sustainable development of Italian fashion, Camera della Moda has earmarked Sept. 27 for the 2025 edition of the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards. Organized in collaboration with the United Nations Alliance for Sustainable Fashion, the seventh edition of the awards will be held at Teatro alla Scala during Milan Fashion Week, which runs Sept. 23 to 29. The event will hand out 10 awards including for Craft and Artisanship; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Circular Economy; Biodiversity and Water, as well as the Groundbreaker and Visionary awards, among other prizes. A special award — the Bicester Collection Award for Emerging Designers, promoted by the Value Retail-owned shopping destinations operator — will reward three up-and-coming designer brands. The finalists include Institution by Galib Gassanoff; Sake, the regenerative fashion project established by Colombian designer and textile researcher Ana Tafur, and Simon Cracker founded by Simone Botte and helmed alongside Filippo Biraghi since 2019. All three brands will enjoy a business-oriented mentorship program powered by The Bicester Collection, while the winner will have the opportunity to present its collection at The Apartment, the by-invitation-only space for private client experiences located at the Fidenza Village shopping destination or at one of the other Bicester villages. 'This marks our sixth year collaborating on this award… but our commitment to innovative design and creativity has been going on for the past 30 years, it's part of our DNA,' said Desirée Bollier, chair and global chief merchant for Value Retail Management. 'We have mentored more than 100 designers, and some have gone on to create amazing careers. What we do is offer them a platform to be visible across three continents — the U.S., Asia, and Europe and U.K. — where we welcome 50 million guests a year, and a mentorship program. Combining talent and visibility will allow these designers to flourish in their business acumen,' she offered. An independent jury chaired by Paola Deda, chairperson of the U.N. Alliance for Sustainable Fashion and director at UNECE, will assign all the awards. The jury panel includes artist Michelangelo Pistoletto; Federico Marchetti, chairman of The Sustainable Markets Initiative's Fashion Task Force; Chloe Mukai, head of the Ethical Fashion Initiative, and Xenya Scanlon, lead of the U.N. Fashion4Land Initiative and chief of communications, external relations and partnerships at the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, among others.

China pitches global AI governance group as the US goes it alone
China has proposed a global action plan to govern artificial intelligence, just days after the United States unveiled its own plan to promote US dominance of the rapidly growing field that's become a key bargaining chip in trade talks between the economic powerhouses. Chinese Premier Li Qiang unveiled China's vision for future AI oversight at the World AI Conference (WAIC), an annual gathering in Shanghai of tech titans from more than 40 countries. 'Overall, global AI governance is still fragmented. Countries have great differences, particularly in terms of areas such as regulatory concepts, institutional rules,' said Li in his speech on Saturday. 'We should strengthen coordination to form a global AI governance framework that has broad consensus as soon as possible.' Li's remarks came just days after the Trump administration unveiled its 28-page AI action plan, which aims to remove 'bureaucratic red tape' and establish US dominance in the sector. While Li did not directly refer to the US in his speech, he alluded to the ongoing trade tensions between the two superpowers, which include American restrictions on advanced semiconductor exports — a component vital for powering and training AI, which is currently causing a shortage in China. 'Key resources and capabilities are concentrated in a few countries and a few enterprises,' said Li in his speech on Saturday. 'If we engage in technological monopoly, controls and restrictions, AI will become an exclusive game for a small number of countries and enterprises.' AI chips have become a key bargaining tool between US and China in trade negotiations, which continued this week with a meeting in Stockholm. Before the latest round of talks, both countries appeared to make concessions, with Washington lifting its ban on sales of a key Nvidia AI chip to China, and Beijing suspending its antitrust investigation into American chemical firm DuPont. Speaking from Scotland on Sunday, Trump said the US is 'very close to a deal with China,' but offered no further details. The current deadline for a deal expires on August 12. China has not been shy about promoting its AI ambitions: with more than 5,000 AI companies, and a core AI industry valued at 600 billion yuan ($84 billion) in April 2025, the nation is all-in on its tech rivalry with the US. This surge is being fueled by enormous government and private sector spending. Between 2013 and 2023, state venture capital firms invested an estimated $209 billion into AI-related businesses, according to research published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private think tank based in Massachusetts, and this year alone, public sector spending on AI is expected to top 400 billion yuan ($56 billion). It's still a fraction of what the US spends — private AI investment in the US reached $109.1 billion in 2024, around 12 times China's $9.3 billion — but China's commitment to the AI race is evident in other ways. Since 2017, China has published more patents for generative AI inventions annually than all other countries combined, according to data from the World Intellectual Property Organization. All this investment is narrowing the gap between the US and China in the AI race. Earlier this year, the launch of one-year-old Chinese startup DeepSeek's new AI model R1 caused chaos on Wall Street and demonstrated China's technical capabilities by quickly outpacing models by Meta and Anthropic. It was allegedly developed for just $5.6 million, a fraction of the cost spent to make other models like ChatGPT (over $100 million) and Gemini (almost $200 million.) More recently, another startup Moonshot's Kimi K2 model released earlier this month also sent ripples in the AI community for its lower cost and capabilities that outperform some Google and OpenAI's models. The rapid development of China's AI market is even predicted to break even within the next few years, delivering a 52% return on investment as early as 2030, according to research from financial services firm Morgan Stanley. Secretary-General of ASEAN, Dr. Kao Kim Hourn, also called for 'robust governance' of artificial intelligence to mitigate potential threats, including misinformation, deepfakes, and cybersecurity threats. 'These developments demand urgent, coordinated action from the international community to ensure AI serves human welfare and social good,' he said in his speech at the conference, adding that AI implementation in ASEAN could further expand the region's rapidly growing digital economy and 'increase the region's GDP by 10-18%.' Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt reiterated the call for international collaboration, explicitly calling on the US and China to work together. 'As the largest and most significant economic entities in the world, the United States and China should collaborate on these issues,' said Schmidt at WAIC. 'We have a vested interest to keep the world stable, keep the world not at war, to keep things peaceful, to make sure we have human control of these tools.' Other speakers included computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, sometimes referred to as 'the godfather of AI' and French AI researcher and special envoy Anne Bouverot. Launched by Singaporean think tank Artificial Intelligence International Institute (AIII), the conference has been held in Shanghai since its inception in 2018 and has been an important platform for Chinese companies to showcase their technology to the world. The event — which in the past has been attended by key figures in the tech industry, including Elon Musk and Jack Ma — features technology exhibitions, expert keynotes and discussion panels in a bid to further AI research, development and governance, something China hopes to play a leading role in. Attended by more than 800 companies, WAIC 2025 was again dominated by Chinese tech firms, including Tencent, Alibaba, SoftBank-backed Keenon Robotics and robotics startup Unitree, with appearances from several major US corporations like Tesla, Alphabet, and Amazon. Visitors explored tech innovations across 3,000 exhibits, which included over 100 new product debuts. They included new AI models from Tencent Holdings and Hong Kong-based company SenseTime, Alibaba's first AI-powered smart glasses, new popcorn-serving bipedal robot models from Keenon Robotics, and cute companion 'pet' robots from Shenzhen startup ZTE. Other key exhibitions at the three-day event included Unitree's G1 boxing robot, which quickly caught the attention of visitors and became a fan favorite on social media, dancing robot dogs developed by China Mobile, and PsiBot's mahjong-playing humanoid.
