In exchange for the convenience of fast fashion, we have lost the sense of "clothing as culture".

We need to learn about how bad fast fashion is to environment. This place would make people aware about fast fashion with exhibiton. And they could practice to recycle fabric and explore secondhand market. The place would be the recyling fashion hub in Milan. Not only new fashion but also old fashion could be the mainstream of the fashion.
