“There has long been debate over Milan’s role as the capital of European fashion, and at the end of each fashion week, its dominance is weighed. A monopoly that over the years has often yielded to the grandeur of Paris, the extravagance of London, and even the exoticism of New York, Hong Kong, Copenhagen. In a scenario where it seems that the home of Made in Italy has lost its global appeal, not everyone knows that 15 kilometers from the city center, at Via I Maggio 13 in Vanzago to be precise, an industrial space not only houses a large portion of global fashion knowledge but lays the foundation for a dynamic hub, breathing new life into the hopes of the Lombard capital. Unlike the limited editions of Rare Books in Paris or Motto Books in Berlin, Milano Fashion Library ranks as the largest thematic fashion library in Europe, with over 75,000 publications including magazines, lookbooks, and catalogs, all housed in a loft of over 500 square meters, where industry professionals, students, and casual enthusiasts meet. ”
