2012 Shanghai. Press Room for Agnona
The design drew inspiration from an Asian water garden—floating garments like water lilies on a tranquil pond, framed by slender bamboo accents. This poetic setting became a bridge between worlds: the timeless luxury of Agnona’s Italian heritage met the delicate naturalism of Eastern aesthetics.
The ‘lily pond’ runway transformed the space into a living painting. Models gliding through appeared to drift between blossoms, their reflections shimmering like the brand’s dual identity—European sophistication mirrored in Asia’s contemplative beauty.
Conceived as a temporary installation, every element honored this cultural dialogue. Bamboo’s organic lines echoed Italian tailoring’s precision; the water’s stillness reflected Agnona’s quiet luxury. Though ephemeral, the scene crystallized a moment where continents and philosophies flowed together—just long enough to linger in memory.
