District L was conceptualized and conceived at Milan Fashion Week back in 2006, so it is difficult to listen to the new rumors that are swirling. According to Lauren Milligan of Vogue, the rumors may be true: Italy might be moving its fashion week from Milan to Rome.
The Italian Chamber of Fashion denies the move, but Silvia Venturini Fendi didn't mind the idea. "I think Rome is a perfect place for creative happenings," she stated.
District L says no. Would you move London Fashion Week to Birmingham? Absolutely not! Would you move Paris Fashion Week to Marseille? Never!
Milan IS the home for Italy's fashion week. Changing that would be like moving New York Fashion Week from Bryant Park to.... oh wait.
