Black Carpet Awards 2025: a third edition marked by Off-White’s commitment

On September 24th, the prestigious Teatro Manzoni vibrated to the rhythm of the third edition of the Black Carpet Awards, a now unmissable event that celebrates diverse talent while opening a space for dialogue on the future of the creative industry.

More than just a ceremony, the event was a veritable platform for encounters and inspiration. Before the evening, Cristiano Fagnani, CEO of Off-White, and Laetitia Loffredo, Vice President of Brand Marketing for the fashion house, took the time to meet the selected talents. Together, they discussed two major themes: the professional opportunities Off-White wishes to open up to new generations and the need to make the creative field more accessible, inclusive, and representative of all voices.

This discussion perfectly illustrates the spirit of the Black Carpet Awards: bringing together iconic figures from the industry and emerging talents to rethink the codes and dynamics of fashion and the creative industries. Through its ongoing commitment, Off-White once again proves that a major fashion house can play a vital role in the transmission, training, and support of future generations.

Since the first edition, the brand founded by Virgil Abloh has consistently supported this initiative, affirming its commitment to the values of diversity, inclusion, and innovation. This loyalty reflects a clear conviction: the future of creativity can only be shaped by making room for all identities and perspectives.

The third edition of the Black Carpet Awards will thus remain a highlight of this cultural and artistic season, reminding us that fashion, beyond the runways, is above all a space for exchange, transmission, and social transformation.

At Licence Magazine, we view the Black Carpet Awards as more than just an event: they embody the necessary evolution of the creative industry. This edition confirms that a more inclusive and conscious fashion is no longer a utopia, but a reality, driven by visionary players like Off-White. The future of creativity belongs to those who open doors, share knowledge, and redefine the rules of the game.
