Johannesburg - Italians and South Africans might speak different languages and are separated by thousands of kilometres but there are many similarities between the two proud nations.
From their love for food, family, football as well as rich histories and cultures, the countries are acclaimed for their appreciation for the small things in life.
Fashion is also a language both the South Africans and Italians are fluent in, and now an initiative is hoping to use this to improve relations between the two countries.
The Fashion Bridges – I Ponti della Moda, project, which aims to lay the foundations of a sustainable, inclusive, strategic and long-term co-operation between the Italian and South African fashion industries, plans to do exactly that.
