The idea was, but how to realize it? Fortunately, she knew the chairman of the Milan fashion chamber and followed him that she would like to do it. “But I can’t imagine 20 years ago to do Fashion Weeky for 20 minutes and enough. He told me – do it the way you feel it. He came here for four years, and helped me open it, and we got a congratulatory letter now. I’m happy to meet him.
