Zegna’s Paul Surridge Hosted International Fashion Hangout
VIP lineup to offer an insider’s look at the art of the fashion show
The Ermenegildo Zegna Group announced the third Hangout with Paul Surridge, Creative Director of the contemporary Z Zegna line, which took place on May 29th. Intended for fashion professionals – from designers to fashion stylists and buyers – as well as fashion-enthusiasts worldwide, the discussion focuses on the approach that a brand should have during a fashion show, in order to be able to speak at the same time with: bloggers, journalist, wholesalers and buyers and in general to all the relative stakeholders of a fashion show.
Paul was joined by leading journalists, stylists and fashion buyers including Karla Welch (A-List stylist), Eric Jennings (VP Fashion Director, Saks Fifth Avenue), as well as Simone Marchetti (La Repubblica) who moderated the discussion.
