Many French, British and American high-top luxury brands (such as Chanel, Dior, Balmain, the main line of Ralph Lauren, to name a few) also refer to Italian craft factories, located in highly specialized areas especially in the metropolitan area of Naples and in the Centre-North of Italy, to produce either part of their apparel and accessories. The nonprofit association that co-ordinates and promotes the development of Italian Fashion is the National Chamber of Italian Fashion (Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana), now led by Carlo Capasa.
