VENICE: Spring/Summer 2028
fashion by Prada
Although Venice has been the greatest place for decades, it becomes especially prominent and important again. With the world on the verge of collapse and our civilisation threatened, this small but amazing city is a testament to the past and a steppingstone for the future, its resilience legendary. Its location, artisan skills and particular status made it one of the wealthiest bastions in past centuries, and its dedication to art and architecture made it a meeting point for the cultural world through in recent decades.
Today, creative spirits have chosen Venice as their home to share collections and collaborations, unique pieces, and carefully curated exhibitions, all throughout the year. Once the culmination point of the Silk Route, Venice holds most of the world’s aesthetic essence, accumulating multiple references for new fashions, colours and textiles. We therefore embrace Venice as an inspiration to experience and remember. Learning to never let go of the genius of humanity.
