Anton Giulio Grande – The talented couturier Anton Giulio Grande presented the SS 25 collection entitled B.B. : Et Dieu créa la femme…et Alain for the occasion created looks inspired by two international stars: the rebellious and modern Brigitte Bardot and the timeless charm of Alain Delon.

The mood of the leather garments with a rock flavor harks back to the atmospheres of the late Sixties, Seventies, the revolutionary years of Bardot and the charming and intriguing charm of Delon, interpreters and absolute protagonists of the style of the Côte d’Azur and Saint Tropez. On the catwalk 33 women’s looks and 13 men’s proposals, outfits with sophisticated workmanship, hyper-embroidered leather jackets and sweatshirts with crystals and hippie flowers hand-painted with painstaking craftsmanship that reflect the dictates of high fashion and true Made in Italy. Grande expresses himself today with his highest inventiveness, creativity and talent capable of enhancing and enhancing the true feminine and masculine essence.

Daphne Milano – The Daphne Milano collection is a line intended for bridal, formal, cocktail and gala events, entirely made in Italy. The collection is made up of timeless dresses, with classic elegance and soft, fluid lines, which create skilful plays of volumes, with fitted bodices, generous necklines, vaporous full skirts, or sinuous long skirts.

All garments enhance the natural beauty of femininity in its purest essence. The origins of the collection arise from a sartorial study (couture) and stylistic work on the shapes that make the dress precious and unique, to enhance the beauty of the body with the use of fine fabrics.
«I have always wanted to create timeless clothes. Contrary to Fast Fashion in terms of ethics and
culture, I would like to hang every garment I design like a painting” – Daniela Del Cima

Antonella Bravi – She is a stylist with a very personal aesthetic identity based on research and the belief that elegance can also be effortless and relaxed. More than one clothing line has created a style that is
expressed through a few perfect garments with a fluid fit for luxury nomads.

The niche brand that bears his name primarily pays homage to the caftan dress, a piece that is experiencing a moment of great splendor and is now decisive in every woman’s wardrobe. She, who has the gift of sowing style along the way and ahead of time, has been offering it successfully for a few years now.

The caftan, a very fluid object that has rightfully won the title of long soirée dress. The beauty of this very scenic dress, whose origins date back to the Persians, is in its versatility, in its unparalleled level of comfort. It is a precious garment, a must have which, transformed through accessories, can be worn from morning to evening depending on the occasion of use, making every woman feel in line with her being.

DB SOUL– DB/SOUL‘s DNA is Denim, considered a metaphor for life. The shades of “Blue and Black Denim” symbolize different ages and experiences, with a process of alchemical transformation that goes
from the passage of intense colors to a white dissolution. The uniqueness of jeans lies in the range of blue and black, which evolves from wear to rarefaction.

Imagining the denim as a chain, the blue and black ends connect to form links that lighten to white. The Japanese have a deep connection with indigo, seeing the collective spirit in it; white is considered the color of mourning, similar to our black.

DB/SOUL is a project that celebrates the maximum freedom to explore all the potential offered by the manipulation of denim, both in material and color. We are convinced that this represents the main way through which a Denim Label that deserves this name can enrich the experience and history of the fascinating world of Denim.

At the end of the event, the guests continued the evening at the JustMe nightclub for the post-event party organized in collaboration with Antony Russo in which the stylists, models and celebrities present took part. The DJ set was entrusted to the sound of DJ MAUWI.

The streets of Milan, illuminated by the spotlight, experienced days of pure magic, confirming once
again the central role of the city in the global fashion scene. And as the curtain falls on this edition,
we are already looking forward to the next one, certain that it will continue to surprise and dictate
the world of fashion.
