定例ヨーロッパ出張 夏の陣 Summer Business Trip to Italy: Milan Edition

 

 

I, Nakamura, am currently in Milan, Italy.
At this time of year, Milan Fashion Week takes place twice a year,
and Florence hosts the international trade fair Pitti Uomo,
and many people involved in men’s fashion gather in each city.

 

  

This trip started with JAL curry again.
It’s something of a ritual for me over the years.

There were no major turbulences, and it was a comfortable flight.

 

 

 

 

First, I flew to France and spent one night at a hotel near the Paris airport.

 

 

 

 

I got up at 3am the next morning and boarded a plane to Milan. 

 

 

 

 

I saw Paris from the sky with the Olympics just around the corner.

 

 

 

 

As I was absentmindedly gazing at the scenery outside, someone called out to me in Japanese, “Ms. Nakamura, thank you for boarding!”
To my surprise, it was a crew member who was studying Japanese. He loves Japanese culture and has even visited Japan before. We had a lively conversation, even though we only had a short time.

 

After arriving at the hotel, we headed straight to the showroom of ZILLI, France’s finest men’s brand, first thing in the afternoon.

 

 

 

 

While having lunch with the person in charge, we update each other on our recent activities and market trends.

This kind of time is very important for building trust and understanding.

 

 

 

 

 

The ZILLI showroom is as beautiful as ever.
Last time It was only on the first floor, but this time it had been expanded to the second floor, and I was given another tour of the building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the world of men’s fashion, this is the time of year when we order next year’s spring/summer collections.

 

 

 

 

 

This blouson also looks very simple but in fact…
a piece that is so typical of ZILLI.

As this is the latest collection I cannot yet go into details here, but once again I spent two days really getting to experience this wonderful worldview.

 

 

It was an incredibly packed two days, but the journey is still on.
I’ll be back next week with a new report, so stay tuned.
