Well, it is not the kind of fashion I would like to design, but I must say that the designers you have mentioned have made Italian taste, aesthetics and sophistication known all over the world. Their work is extremely important. When I rebelled, I rebelled against haute couture, against the conservatism in our world, but I cannot say that Italian designers are conservative. It is enough to see people from all over the world attending seasonal reviews of Italian designers to realise that Made in Italy is a huge success. Personally, I have seen on my travels that people identify Italy with good taste.
Italian designers can take a lot of credit for that.
Also, the huge sums they spend on their advertising campaigns surely benefit the image of other Italian manufacturers, such as the bathroom equipment industry, etc. Still, you preferred to go to England and the US for your ideas. I believe that the culture of every person resides in their willingness to travel, to observe, to get to know others. They know what to offer the Americans or the Japanese. They have an in-depth knowledge of aesthetics.
