Giovanna Ceolini leads Italian fashion accessories federation
The Italian Federation for Fashion Accessories, Confindustria Accessori Moda, has elected Giovanna Ceolini as its new President. Claudia Sequi will serve alongside her as Vice President. This leadership change was unanimously approved by the Federation's assembly, which represents Italy’s footwear, leather goods, fur, and tanning industries.

Ms Ceolini, who founded Parabiago Collezioni srl in 1999, brings extensive experience to the role, having previously served as Vice President of Assocalzaturifici, where she focused on expanding Italy's footwear sector in Europe and the United States.

In her new position, she aims to strengthen the industry by advancing technical training, fostering connections with educational institutions, and supporting companies in adopting sustainable practices in line with European regulations. She also plans to promote Italian brands in strategic markets, including Korea, Kazakhstan, the USA, and Dubai.

Ms Ceolini expressed optimism about the future of Italy’s fashion accessory sector and gratitude to outgoing President Annarita Pilotti, who led the Federation during a challenging period.
