Margherita Giovanelli returns us to a pre-historical past when Earth was growing thanks to the work of volacnic lava or maybe better to an unpredictable future in which the future of humanity will be connected to the survival against to forthcoming falling meteorites.
Cerebral connections, nerves and brain corrugated patterns are exposed outside the model’s body. For Chiara Andromedi, intelligence can be worn as a dress and our brain is the most beautiful and complex creature of this world.

Francesca Guidozzi brings us into a colorful and messy children playroom, allowing us to find again the indomitable and limitless courage of a child to mix and match colors and prints, with rag dolls as cloth’s decorations or sunglasses made with Lego bricks. Funny and incredibly rich of interesting details.
The most scenic collection was that by Sara Piangatelli, who creates two levels of suggestions. Outside giant silver geometric and three-dimensional structures that reveal the inner more raffinate and almost romantic garments made working on texture and light effects.
