   Milan: Built in Milan. Sold Elsewhere. With Zofia Żelichowska-Walczak

   If you're thinking about building a fashion business in Milan, this is the reality check worth hearing before you arrive. Peter speaks with Zofia Żelichowska-Walczak, the Polish founder of Ciriana, who has spent more than a decade building her fashion business in Italy. Zofia talks candidly about what it means to build from outside the traditional Italian fashion system: finding the right suppliers, working with Italian craftsmanship, navigating costs and competition, and learning from the failures that come with building a company from scratch. She also explains why Milan can give a founder access to an extraordinary product and manufacturing ecosystem - but why building the business still requires patience, commercial thinking and the ability to look beyond Italy when it comes to selling.

   Milan: Inside Milan's Fashion Ecosystem with Anna Lottersberger

   What really makes Milan a fashion capital? In the first episode of The Milan Series, Peter speaks with Anna Lottersberger, Dean of Ferrari Fashion School, about the people, businesses and infrastructure behind Milan's fashion ecosystem. Anna shares her journey from designer and entrepreneur to educator, and explains why Milan's strength goes far beyond its famous fashion houses - from its textile and manufacturing networks to its concept stores, industry connections and international community. They also discuss what emerging fashion founders often get wrong, why mentorship and an extended network matter, and why getting to market quickly, understanding your customer and making cash should be at the heart of building a fashion business.
