So much has happened in fashion over the past few days, it’s hard to keep track. So we’ve put together a brief overview of three things you really need to know.

The decision is part of the company’s larger strategy to enhance its production capacity and grow its manufacturing plants in central Italy. Prada will train many of its new hires at its professional craft academy.

Dior’s glamorous visit to Mumbai

Dior chose Mumbai as the scenic setting for its pre-fall collection late last week. Alongside several Bollywood celebrities, international stars like Cara Delevingne and Gigi Hadid made appearances.

One of the highlights of the show was Dior’s work with Mumbai-based Chanakya School of Craft. Maria Grazia Chiuri, artistic director of Dior women’s wear, incorporated designs created by the school’s female students. The show also signified India’s growing relevance in the global luxury market.
