The show was attended by distinguished guests, with the models walking through the shade, under the light of the setting sun, one day before the summer solstice. The color palette of the collection was inspired by the experience of a rising summer sun, in the Cyclades. The moment pulsates with techno beats while the collection moves from sportswear to abstract geometric and asymmetrical forms that flow on the body. Mirror effect dresses structured towards the viewer and not towards the one wearing them. A catwalk of high standards, which delighted the attendees in a perfectly architectural space that hosted a fashion show for the first time.
