Museo Bagatti Valsecchi — 28 September 2025 — Milan
In the heart of Milan, the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi has long been the perfect setting for exclusive events during Fashion Week. Among the most refined house-museums in Europe, it blends Renaissance elegance with Milanese charm, offering sumptuous and authentic interiors just a few steps from the fashion district. It is a symbol of style, history, and hospitality — the perfect destination to experience Milan in its most inspiring and unforgettable form.
This September, the museum opened its doors to one of the most anticipated and extraordinary appointments of Milan Fashion Week: the Royal Elite Fashion Event, held on 28 September 2025. A Renaissance backdrop of rare beauty, a symbol of style and hospitality, made the evening an unforgettable experience for guests and protagonists alike.
Welcoming the audience was Cesarina Ferruzzi, who masterfully presented and directed the event. The organisers of the Royal Elite Fashion Event, Carmelo Alì, Alla Platash, and Laura Pagani Cesa, expressed their gratitude to the prestigious and highly selected guests who arrived from across Europe. A heartfelt thanks also went to the illustrious partners — the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum, the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce in New York, and the IPA Agency. From the very first moments, the evening was defined as one of the emblematic events of Milan Fashion Week.
Special Guest of the evening was the Head Sculpture Designer Giuseppe Fata, universally recognised as the “genius of art on the head”, capable of transforming his works into an authentic artistic language. His creations, suspended between fashion and sculpture, have enchanted international audiences. To crown this moment, publisher Massimo Basilepresented Fata with the prestigious Celebre Magazine Award, an important recognition bestowed upon international excellence.
After this intense commemorative moment, the evening continued with the catwalks of two great excellences:
Maison Dray, founded by Enrico Dray, trained at IED with a specialisation in haute couture. The maison creates high fashion collections that combine wearability with the sartorial quality of Made in Italy: bridal gowns, evening, cocktail and red-carpet dresses, reaffirming the concept of the “tailor at home” for unique and personalised creations.
Iskia Luxury Bags, a brand that blends Italian craftsmanship with modern design. Each bag is born from fine materials, combining elegance and functionality. Designed for refined and dynamic women, Iskia bags represent a unique, discreet and timeless style.
The evening also offered the opportunity to admire the works of highly talented artists. Marat, specialised in creating exclusive decorations for residential, commercial and professional settings, presented luminous statues and scenographic creations of great impact. Alena Angel Art, visionary artist and Master Reiki, showcased her technique “Dzherelna Grafika”, an authentic source of spiritual energy, healing and inner connection.
Enriching the event were: LilisHer, designer and decorator, founder of a studio of interior and landscape design, capable of harmonising art and creativity to transform spaces into places of inspiration. Arte & Bellezza, with its artisanal handbags in Italian leather, impeccable in quality, inspired by art and architecture, transforming inaccessible forms into modern and aesthetic accessories. Likeman, a menswear brand that combines essential design, quality and comfort for the contemporary, elegant and authentic man. Hannah Minkof, Ukrainian designer based in Florence, renowned for bridal and evening gowns chosen by brides and actresses for unforgettable occasions. Her collections have shone on the red carpets of Venice and Cannes, blending classical elegance with contemporary luxury.
The first part of the fashion shows concluded with a fascinating musical interlude, made magical by the saxophone of Federico Sax.
The spotlight then returned to Alena Angel Art, who presented the hand-painted women’s collection “Grafica Sorgente”, rich in sacred symbols and protective codes that unite fashion, art and energy. Subsequently, space was given to Caleste Shoes, footwear born from the love of Tuscan craftsmanship, combining tradition and modernity with quality and comfort.
A special thanks was reserved for the Main Sponsors — of great significance, the IOS – Istituto Odontostomatologico Siciliano, represented by Cetty Rizzo, who introduced their prestigious reality; followed by Deva Beauty of Antonella Splendore and Nuga Best by Bondar Margarita.
