The MedModa Festival, this year number “20”, is an international fashion
festival, which attracts to Sicily fashion designers from the whole world, be-
sides that, it attracts the attention of the domestic and international mass me-
dia. At the event of last year (2014), the MedModa’s managing staff has got
from foreign candidates as many as 340 applications and after a careful se-
lectio
n only 12 designers have been admitted to the final “match”. Besides of being a crossroads of the international haute couture, Med-
Moda is at the same time a show event, which turns fashion into a proper
show, which times and rhythms are typical of a television programme. For hosting the event, followed one another on the stage some of the dar-
ling show girls, most loved from the wide audience in Italy and many were the
artists enriching the show with their great performance. Furthermore, during the last years the “Massimo Pastorello Management”
has started a project, which has been “transferred” the next MedModa Festi-
val – as a model for export - to Bolivia (El Alto, La Paz), to Georgia (Tbilisi)
and to Venezuela (Caracas). At the moment contacts are ongoing with embassies, culture centres and
chambers of commerce in several foreign countries, in order to proceeding in
this direction, with the aim to make MedModa one of the most important fash-
ion showcases in the world. Thank to its good name and own prestige, MedModa has permanently ob-
tained the patronage of the Sicily Region, of Caltanissetta County’s admini-
stration and the City Hall of Caltanissetta, besides of it, the support of many
private sponsors, who since years don’t fail to give their precious contribution,
getting from it a great profit on image and marketing. Da 20 anni stilisti provenienti da ogni continente hanno reso questo festi-
