Certilogo and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana: an official partnership for a more transparent and sustainable future of the fashion ecosystem.
This strong alliance signals a commitment to empowering brands and consumers with cutting-edge technology and an unwavering commitment to a more responsible industry.
In a world increasingly driven by conscious consumption and a demand for transparency, the fashion industry is at a crucial crossroads. Consumers are no longer satisfied with simply owning beautiful things; they crave connection, authenticity and the assurance that their purchases align with their values. In this dynamic landscape, Certilogo and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana continue their strategic partnership, a collaboration that will reshape the very fabric of how we produce, consume and engage with fashion.
This alliance, which began in January 2024, will be strengthened with the Milano Fashion Week® Women's Collection in September, bringing together two powerhouses: Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, a recognised leader in promoting the excellence of "Made in Italy" craftsmanship and fostering the internationalization of the fashion sector, and Certilogo, a leading force in digital authentication and the implementation of Digital Product Passports (DPPs). Together, they share a common mission to provide brands with the tools to not only navigate, but also thrive in today's complex marketplace and unleash the power of digital innovation.
Certilogo is a global frontrunner in digital product identification, with a wealth of experience in strengthening brands and building consumer trust. The Certilogo service is used by 1 user every 4 seconds in over 180 countries in 10 languages. Its innovative platform harnesses the power of AI and unique product identification to deliver unparalleled transparency and traceability throughout a product's lifecycle. In fact, according to a study conducted by Certilogo, 85% of consumers consider authentication to be very important when buying new or used fashion.
The collaboration between Certilogo and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana goes far beyond the realm of 'Made in Italy'. It represents a global shift towards a more responsible and transparent fashion ecosystem, where consumers are empowered to make informed choices and brands are equipped to meet these evolving demands.
In addition, the fashion and luxury industries are facing a deeper challenge with the upcoming EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) legislation. This new directive is a confluence of technological innovation, data traceability and sustainability transparency for brands.
"At Certilogo, we have recently developed a strategic Digital Product Passport integration framework to support fashion and luxury brands currently planning their DPP strategy, which is essential not only to comply with the regulations, but also to unlock the full potential value of this change. We implement a robust DPP strategy by building an ecosystem that encompasses the entire product lifecycle, from design and manufacturing to end-of-life, and enabling a collaborative blueprint that involves all stakeholders, including suppliers, manufacturers and consumers." - Explains Michele Casucci, General Mnager and Fouder Certilogo.
The benefits of Certilogo's approach are positive for both brands striving for excellence and consumers seeking authenticity and conscious consumption.
