This November, WWD, The Style Gate and Galateo & Friends will host an exclusive gala in Milan celebrating the converging worlds of fashion and food. This event will highlight the endless ways that cuisine and hospitality are linked to high fashion and luxury retail, and how brands and leaders can collaborate on exciting, new experiences.

The 2024 Fashion Loves Food Gala will explore how returning to nature has increasingly become a new form of luxury, reflected by powerful life choices, investments in fully organic farms, fine dining that celebrates seasonal and local ingredients, and experiences that remain unique and highly appealing to the senses and emotions. Food and hospitality are increasingly attracting guests and customers – whether established or new –  in a new world that is an extension of a designer, of an entrepreneur or a fashion brand’s aesthetic and vision.
