11/10/2023 – IACDE International Convention 2023 – Rome
Innovation unleashed
Everything starts anew where everything invariably begins – along this cognition, the IACDE had chosen the Italian capitol and couture metropolis for its International Convention this year. Over three days the International Association of Clothing Designers and Executives brought together more than 100 members from its cluster organizations throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. – Yet another proof indeed that today’s “IACDE Club”, originating from its founding in 1910 in New York’s Madison Square Garden, fully copes with the transition process into modern times.
