President of Italian Fashion Chamber steps down

Mario Boselli, the president of the Italian Fashion Chamber, is to step down this April.

Boselli, who has held the position since 1999, has not yet been succeeded as the chamber continues its search for his replacement.

During his lengthy fashion career, Boselli forged close cooperation with international fashion associations, most notable the conflicting fashion week calendars in New York, London and Paris. Boselli was also instrumental in establishing solid business relationships in emerging countries, including China as well as Russia.

Boselli will continue in an ambassadorial role, as he scales back his commitments.
