22nd September: Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI), in collaboration with Eco-Age, and with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), today reveal that Robert Downey Jr. will present the opening and closing of the exclusive YouTube broadcast of this year’s special edition of the Green Carpet Fashion Awards (GCFAs) on October 10th 2020 on Fashion Channel.

Reinvented as a virtual experience, this year’s show will be centred around the theme of togetherness and rebirth – weaving a new thread of our society, under the principles of social and environmental justice.

“This event is innovative, and solution based, so I’m excited to be a part of its premiere,” stated Downey Jr.

Directed by Grammy-nominated Giorgio Testi and produced by Emmy Award winner Pulse Films, with Tendercapital Productions as executive producer, this revolutionary show, designed by NorthHouse, combines cinematic footage with a fusion of augmented reality and visual FX created using real-time game engines, and with the world’s leading talent and opinion formers appearing as holograms courtesy of ARHT Media.

The Green Carpet Fashion Awards 2020 will be broadcast globally on the YouTube channel of the Fashion Channel on October 10th, with the UK, Italy, Germany and Austria on October 25th following the SKY premiere in those territories.
