Rosario Morabito reports from Rome on Gabriele Colangelo, the winner of Italian Vogue’s 2008 edition of Who is On Next as part of the yearly event held at Alta Roma

Dear Diane, Dear ShadedViewers,

Gabriele Colangelo is establishing himself as one of the most promising young Italian designers. The attention to his work increased greatly after he won Italian Vogue's Who is on Next 2008 competition at Alta ROma. As far as I can see, he is living up to the expectations.
