On the evening of February 27th, in the enchanting setting of Villa Clerici, it was not just a fashion show, nor merely a presentation of a new collection—it was an event that left an indelible mark on the hearts of those in attendance. A hidden gem in Milan, Villa Clerici is a historic residence where art and elegance intertwine, featuring frescoed walls, antique furnishings, and a scenic Italian garden. From across the globe to the prestigious Milan Fashion Week stage, four designers—LUXE LIVING FASHIONS BY LAVITIA DAVIS, DEVORAH VIICTOR, BY VEL, and STOLL—four cultures, four creative souls, merged into a singular narrative, transforming the runway into a visual poem of freedom, diversity, and boundless beauty.
Devorah Viictor, a New York-based designer, has truly redefined luxury with her meticulously crafted handbags. Made from premium materials like lambskin and fine Italian Nappa leather, her creations exude sophistication and refinement. Viictor’s aesthetic strikes a perfect balance between contemporary trends and classic elegance, offering ultra-soft textures, draped silhouettes, and unique custom marble charms that set her pieces apart. These bags are versatile enough for both casual daywear and evening elegance, making them ideal for a variety of occasions. With their modern, luxurious appeal, her bags have become a true fashion statement, effortlessly elevating any look.
Returning to Fashion Vibes, the highly anticipated Ukrainian brand By Vel has once again captivated audiences with their breathtaking collection. The latest collection, “A Royal Chapter in the Secret Garden”, marks a new chapter in festive fashion, blending timeless elegance with creative boldness. Dresses are adorned with painstaking details, each one more sophisticated than the last, showing that formal wear can be both striking and unforgettable. By Vel embraces the idea that fashion should reflect individuality. Each outfit is more than just a piece of clothing; it’s a reflection of the wearer’s personality, empowering them to showcase their true selves.
The runway show has come to a close, and Stoll’s latest collection has left an unforgettable impression. More than just a presentation, it was a bold statement of resilience, transformation, and futuristic design. Gaia Stoll’s vision unfolded before us, blending personal experiences with cutting-edge aesthetics in every striking silhouette and unexpected structure. The collection pushed the boundaries of contemporary fashion, offering a glimpse into a future where style is both timeless and daring. Stoll isn’t just a brand; it’s an experience that challenges conventions and invites us to embrace our inner strength and vision.
In an unexpected twist, Luxe Living Fashions by Lavitia Davis faced an unforeseen challenge—their collection pieces did not arrive in time. Yet, true to the brand’s spirit, they adapted with elegance and resilience, presenting four exquisite garments sourced from the legendary silk mills of Como. Despite the setback, the brand left a lasting impact. Even with a limited selection, the designer showcased the essence of the brand: luxury, rich, vibrant style. The Luxe Party Collection elevated the soirée to unparalleled opulence, and we can’t wait to see where this magical journey takes us next, with an exclusive Milan editorial and upcoming runway appearances on the horizon.
The Fashion Vibes show in Milan was not just a presentation of collections—it was a powerful statement, a bridge between worlds, and an homage to authenticity. The evening was a true manifestation of diversity, where the captivated gazes, the electric energy in the air, and the thunderous applause echoing through Villa Clerici signified a shift in fashion’s narrative. This was a vision that liberated rather than confined, united rather than divided, and crafted compelling stories instead of simply following trends. Fashion was not just on the runway—it was engaging with the world.
