  "account": "In less than two weeks, the September \"Moda in Piazza\" fashion parade will return to Milan, following a record-breaking summer tourism season. The city will not only host closed-door brand events, shop openings, shows, and meetings, but also the inaugurations of two major industry trade fairs, Micam (footwear) and Mipel (leather), from September 13th to 15th. Both Milan Fashion Week and events in Rho will showcase operators and buyers for the spring-summer 2027 season. However, the situation of the sector and the first six months, particularly the manufacturing part, need examination. Confindustria Moda, through president Luca Sburlati, reports a 5.1% decline in production for textile, clothing, and leather industries in the first half of the year. While a positive trade balance remains, confirming a slight decrease in consumption, Sburlati emphasizes the need for collaboration, stating, \"no one can survive alone.\" The Italian fashion sector, worth around 100 billion euros and directly employing over 600,000 people, cannot rely solely on external support. Sburlati has been advocating for an industrial plan covering ten years, involving businesses, institutions, and the government. The association has requested a short-term intervention on energy costs, as the upstream part of the industry, which has lower margins compared to the middle and high-end segments, faces energy challenges. Additionally, technological advancements, such as investments in new fibers and sustainable practices, are crucial for the sector's future. Confindustria Moda will also participate in the annual sustainability event in Venice on November 5th and 6th, involving all associations in the extended fashion system, from eyewear to jewelry. The association also collaborates with France to strengthen measures against fast fashion, recognizing the interest of French major groups in maintaining an intact Italian supply chain. Ultimately, Sburlati stresses the importance of investing in the sector's long-term narrative through social campaigns and education in schools.",
