Milan Fashion Week highlighted diversity and, with a new initiative, promoted inclusion across the industry. The Autumn/Winter 2024 shows also saw the return of a showcase for under-represented designers.

An agreement signed Tuesday (Feb 20) by the Italian fashion council, a governmental anti-discrimination office, and a nonprofit promoting African fashion seeks to "trace, identify and fight” discriminatory practices.
