“Even this year – said the President of Federmoda-Confcommercio, Renato Borghi – the tail of the crisis became evident to the fashion industry, with the trend of the autumn-winter season which is certainly not brilliant. As a result, stocks of unsold stores are high and the offer for ‘saldisti’ very large, both for variety and quality of products. We expect higher than average discounts of 40%. “”So this year – added Borghi – offering a wide and attractive discounts make us hope for a successful sales season, which could also represent the long-awaited signal of trend reversal. ”
