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 2025 Fashion Loves Food Gala will explore how offering fine dining has become a strategic part of luxury and fashion retail. 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. The visual depiction of that world is also key and brands are turning to the best-in-class architects and designers to create spaces that offer the current holy grail: distinctive experience.
