In the sign of ethical excellence, the Sustainable Fashion Awards 2025 celebrate a fashion that intertwines creativity, social commitment and environmental vision.
Saturday 27 September, in the solemn setting of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards 2025 will celebrate the commitment of fashion towards a more ethical, innovative and humanistic vision. Promoted by the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, in collaboration with an Alliance for Sustainable Fashion and with the support of the Municipality of Milan, the prizes recognize the realities that, at Italian and international level, are rewriting the future of the sector with courage and awareness.
An open laboratory: vision and responsibility at the center of the fashion system
Not a simple award ceremony, but a moment of collective reflection: the CNMI Awards are placed as an observatory and catalyst for change. As Carlo Capasa, president of Camera Moda, says, the initiative intends to give voice to stories that inspire, which enhance craftsmanship, environmental justice, circular economy and human capital. It is a path that looks to tomorrow, not as a goal, but as a possibility to be built every day.
The international jury: skills, vision, authority
To preside over the independent jury this year is Paola Deda, a chairperson of the Uno Alliance for Sustainable Fashion and Director at Unece. Together with her, prominent personality such as Teneshia Carr, Simone Cipriani, Kerry Kennedy, Federico Marchetti, Samata, Michelangelo Pistoletto, among others, will contribute to identifying the ten winners, selected for excellence and impact in their own area of action.

The Bicester Collection: support the new, cultivate tomorrow
At its sixth edition, the Bicester Collection Award for Emerging Designers returns to the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards with a clear vision: support the next generation of creatives who will shape the future of fashion with social, economic and environmental responsibilities.
The partnership between The Bicester Collection and the National Chamber of Italian Fashion is thus renewed with a concrete commitment in favor of sustainable entrepreneurship, offering the three finalists not only visibility, but real tools to grow. Through a tailor -made mentorship program, the selected designers will have access to strategic resources and excellent training: from the leadership to the production chain, to the commercial approach. The winner will also have the exclusive opportunity to present his collection in The Apartmentthe space reserved for private clients in one of the international villages in the collection, from Fidenza Village abroad. The finalists of this year – Institution by Galib Gassanoff, Sake by Ana Tafur e Simon Cracker by Simone Botte and Filippo LM Biraghi – represent deeply different visions but united by a common idea: to break the old patterns to give shape to a new fashion, rooted in ethics, crafts and memory.
