'The Circle is more than a concept; it is a philosophy that embraces the continuous flow of creativity, innovation, and renewal. Thanks to our extensive experience working in the luxury fashion sector in the Middle East, we have a strong network and valuable personal contacts, which we are using to support smaller businesses to expand in the region and have a presence at key fasion events such as Red Sea Fashion Week next month.'

Monica Sarti added, 'In addition to our experience and strong network in the Middle East, we are advising clients on the choice of fabrics, textiles and the development of the pieces to ensure the preferences of the consumer in the region are incorporated into the final designs.'

For over 20 years, WHITE Milano has been an important showcase for fashion, capturing market trends and attracting thousands of industry professionals to Milan. Along with the Fashion Weeks, WHITE also contributes to enhancing the prestige of Made in Italy and consolidating Milan as one of the key international fashion capitals of the world.
