The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945 - 2014 - Map of the Productive Districts
Italian fashion grew out of the country’s regional industries. These networks of companies working in the same field – specialists in silk, wool, leather and so forth – are known as distretti produttivi, or productive districts.
The firms are usually small to medium-sized and often family-run. They are highly specialised but also very flexible. This regional system, with its focus on quality and attention to detail, has been the backbone of the ‘Made in Italy’ brand.
