AN INVITE TO FASHION DESIGNERS
Dear designer and friend,
we are sure you are aware of the devasting earthquakes hitting the north of Italy these last months.
The first earthquake, registering magnitude 6.1, struck in the Emilia-Romagna region, on 20 May 2012.
Two aftershocks of magnitude 5.2 occurred few hours after the main event and seven people were killed.
Nine days later, on May 29, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck the same area causing an additional eighteen deaths and widespread damage, particularly to buildings already weakened by the 20 May earthquake.
And again on June 3, 4 and 6 aftershakes struck the region, causing panic between people, who still don’t know if this incubus is going to continue…
The damages of these earthquakes are terrible: 26 people died and thousands are homeless, living in tents.
The whole economy of the country was brought to its knees.
