SECRET GARDEN F/W 2023/24
The new fall winter collection is inspired by the book "The Secret Garden", in a darker and dreamlike version, in a fantastic garden full of magical creatures... but there is more... this time we wanted to dedicate this short film and the collection to all women victims of violence, it is not a film against violence against women, but we delicately tried to mention what happens in a story of aggression, between general indifference, union and love that there should be among all women, and the wish for these victims to be able to be reborn from their ashes, as the Phoenix does in our history too!
