My Collection „Fabelwesen“ at Taormina International Fashion in Sicily
In September 2023 I had the great opportunity to be a part of the Taormina International Fashion 2023, with a great Photoshooting in Taormina city and two own Fashion shows. The event is produced by Tonino Galli who found my art online and invited me to be a part.
More than 12 designers from all over the world came together and showcased their fashion in Sicily. To be one of them was first really overwhelimg, I had my fisrt own Fashion show in February. When I arrived in the hotel where we all stayed and worked together I emediatly felt so welcome and empowered, I was really greatful everyone was so kind.
We had models from sicily and the USA from wemodelusa. They where all so passioned to walk for each designer in an individual way, with passion and grace,they made all this shows became an unique experience. As alwasy in my work with models, they where able to choose their look, to feel comfortable and make the design to their own. For me the participation is very important, I always have photo cards with me and i love it when they love their own look, unusual but just my way of working together. They are the key piece to all our work as designers and without their passion, fashion wouldnt be possible.
The great Photoshooting in Taormina
In the beautiful town Taormina we had an amazing Photoshooting. Each Designer chose 3 looks and had time to gat amazing pictures from the great in international Photographers. Reggie Bell, Vincezo Testa, Carmelo Spina and Enzo Raineri made Photos during the shows and events and made this unforgettable moments last forever.
