This year’s sustainable green carpet covered Piazza La Scala using more than 2,000 square metres of Econyl regenerated nylon. Created from rescued fishing nets and other nylon waste, the carpet provided the backdrop for the event, and following the awards will be recycled or repurposed.
All plants and flowers used in the production of the event will donated to the City of Milan and re-planted.
The star-studded ceremony saw 12 awards being presented to recipients including Valentino Garavani, founder of Valentino, who was presented with the GCFA Legacy Award; Stella McCartney, who was awarded the GCFA Groundbreaker Award; and model Doutzen Kroes, who was presented with the Social Media Changemaker award for using her platform for activism.
