Following the request for early resumption of the furniture industry in Italy, the blockade was further extended to May 3rd. (see "ornate ambition": 9 Italy high-end interior design and furniture brands jointly petitioned for return). Recently, Italy fashion industry has also begun to call for the resumption of work. It is hoped that the government will relax restrictions and resume some production, thereby reducing the prevalence of Italy's fashion industry. Loss.

Milan fashion week organizer and Italy National Fashion Association (Camera Nazio) Nale della Moda Italiana, hereinafter referred to as "CNMI", Carlo Capasa recommends that the government, from April 20th, allow enterprises to gradually resume production and ensure that the autumn and winter series will be delivered to fashion retailers around the world in a timely fashion. "The fashion industry is a seasonal industry. If you don't return to work as soon as possible, you will probably lose a whole year's sales," Capasa said in an interview with the Italy Evening Post.

It is reported that Italy fashion textile industry has an annual sales volume of 95 billion euros, employing more than 600 thousand, and is one of the most important industries in Italy. However, because fashion and textile enterprises do not belong to the "Essential Business" (the indispensable enterprises) stipulated by the government, they can only stop work during the epidemic period, and some of them also need to transform medical products such as respirators.

In addition to CNMI, Claudio Marenzi, director of fashion industry at the Federation of Italy industrialists (Confindustria), also suggested early resumption. He said, "Italy has not resumed work, but France, Spain, Portugal, Turkey and other countries have begun to resume work. This means that some fashion brands may choose garment suppliers from other countries and give up on us. "

Italy Fashion Industry Federation (Co) Nfindustria Moda) includes 6.5 textile, fashion and accessories businesses, most of which are small businesses with only 15 to 20 employees and are highly dependent on foreign trade.

Marenzi said that the Federation of Italy fashion industries has reached an agreement with the trade unions. Once the government has allowed the resumption of work, enterprises will adopt strict hygiene and safety measures. "Entrepreneurs and workers hope to return to work to save Italy's fashion industry." Because the economic problem is more serious than the epidemic. "

At present, there are more than 160 thousand confirmed cases of infection in Italy, second only to the United States and Spain.
