The event, held from March 13th to 14th, allowed visitors to see both classic and new collections in person, and to celebrate the artisan spirit of the Maison, a new artistic technique called 'Altorilievo' inspired the collaboration with paper artists. This innovative technique of Maison turns flat fabric into three-dimensional sculptural works, delicately expressing naturalistic forms and evolving the garment itself into a structure that communicates with the body.
