Over 18 thousand people participated in the first two days of the fashion week 'Milano Moda Donna', dedicated to the spring-summer collection of 2007.

The event takes place in the new space of the Milan Fashion Centre, in what previously was the Fair of Milan. More than 2 thousand journalists from around 40 countries all over the world visited the show. Mario Boselli, President of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, is satisfied: "The Milan Fashion Centre passed the first exam: the operators appreciated the new space, ideally suited waiting for the completion of the 'City of Fashion'". Today, despite heavy rain and traffic, shows of Ferragamo, Armani, Burberry and Belstaff; tomorrow Coveri, Moschino and Prada.

It is very successful coincidence that in the middle of Milan Fashion Week, two of football's glamour clubs - FC Internazionale Milano and FC Bayern München - go head to head in the city that hosts this major fashion event.
