Hi unico67!!

I found several directories that match your needs and I will list
them:

"Made In Italy On Line brings viewers the best of Italian fashion,
food, wine, shopping, and travel with a content-rich site, fast and
easy to navigate."

find information about famous designers, clothes, accessories, textile
and clothes manufacturers, fashion photographers, publications, and
other subjects.
