Feb. 11 – Italian producers of clothing, furs, and accessories will participate in the autumn / winter 2013-2014 Italy Fashion 2013 showcase held in Kazakhstan between April 3-5. ICE, the event coordinator, said “the statistics for the first nine months of 2012 show a further increase in Italian clothing exports by 28% in value over the corresponding period of 2011. The Kazakh market continues to stand as one of the most promising ones for Made in Italy clothing.
