At the 1st Edition of Love Lab, I debuted my Winter Rose gown—a coat-dress inspired by Venice’s winter gardens—within the enchanting walls of Triulzo Antica Dimora.

Our day at the fifteenth-century Antica Dimora Triulzo was nothing short of magical. This historic castle, just outside Milan, embodies the charm and elegance that make Italian weddings so timeless. Meeting so many brides here, in this unique setting, was a joy and a reminder of the beauty found close to home.

Presenting my Winter Rose gown at Love Lab felt wonderfully fitting. Inspired by Venice’s hidden winter gardens, this coat-dress unfolds with roses that emerge from delicate damask and gazar weaves, paying homage to Venetian Baroque. The gown’s elegance was perfectly at home at Antica Dimora Triulzo, resonating with brides who dream of a wedding rich in heritage and sophistication.

Throughout the event, I connected with brides who value Italian craftsmanship and personal touches. Many imagined creating their own memories here—perhaps with an aperitif in the gardens, where guests could take in the beauty of this enchanting venue.

For me, every dress is more than just a dress—it’s a story waiting to be told. Connecting with brides who appreciate craftsmanship and want something truly unique is what makes my work so meaningful.
