The third edition of The Green Carpet Fashion Awards was, quite possibly, the absolute highlight of Milan Fashion Week. The socially responsible awards ceremony, which took place on September 22nd at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, closed Milan Fashion Week with a star-studded affair that celebrated the industry’s most pressing global issue: sustainability.

The event, organized by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana in collaboration with Eco-Age, brought together the crème de la crème of the fashion and entertainment industries to draw attention to the visionary efforts of brands and individuals who have been championing sustainability as a mandatory value within their business practices.
