Among the events of the week was the show “Glad you’re awake”. A scenography imagined by the students of the École Supérieure d’Arts Plastiques – Pavillon Bosio in collaboration with the students of Polimoda Florence, a unique show, halfway between a fashion show and a performance. Another key moment was the Fashion meets Design event at the Spazio Italiano, where design collections merged with fashion with the craftsmanship of Deglupta Bags and the glamorous dresses of Yasya Minochkina. Well-being was also present during the MCFW with the presentation by Narek Sirakanyan of the French luxury nutraceutical brand Project V with its global commitment to beauty, health and longevity.
The MCFW ended in a social atmosphere with the Zepter Brunch Cooking Show & Hyperlight Optics Presentation and talk by Ingie Chalhoub, an exclusive event that combined gastronomy, innovation and lifestyle.
In addition, the beautiful magazine Monaco Woman held an event for the Monte-Carlo Fashion Week at the Rose des Vents, which brought together the entire Monte Carlo jet set, such as the owner, businessman Flavio Briatore, the president of the fashion chamber Federica Nardoni Spinetta, Victoria Silvstedt, the new face of the next MONACO WOMAN cover with Natasha De Graff, the always stunning Elisabetta Gregoraci, influencers Martika Caringella and Antoniya Toneva, soprano Victoria Bulieieva, fashion designer Josephine Riviere and jewelry designer Alice Sunderland, was a great success.
