Pippa Small’s collections represent the unique culture, materials, and makers of the places they are made, yet connected by Pippa’s design style and contemporary eye. Pippa works with communities of artisans in conflict areas, where handmade skills are threatened, to ensure the preservation of cultural heritage and safe livelihoods. Pippa Small pieces are a celebration of human creativity and resilience. The designs keep the thread of elsewhere, traditional methods combined with cohesive design to create something with the glint of a story, where you can see the hands of the maker.
STOULS
Stouls is a feminine leather wardrobe: chic, contemporary, timeless. It extends the body as a second skin. Each piece takes its identity in the feminine wardrobe, multiplying the styles indefinitely.

5 OCTOBRE
5 October creates one-of-a-kind pieces and limited editions, always with the same obsession: jewelry as a lucky charm that protects and reveal the beauty, to render its emotional and affective dimension, an object of transmission and a love messenger.
H+HANNOH
H+ Designed by Hannoh Wessel, the H+ collection is crafted in Italy with a slow fashion mentality and attention to craftsmanship. Hanno is a hands-on designer with an authentic point of view. His designs are refined with a raw, natural beauty and charming sensibility. The clothes are effortless with clean forms and singular details, resulting in a collection that is both modern and timeless.
PEPPINO PEPPINO
Creates clothing based on what the designers personally love and want to wear – silhouettes that are intentionally offbeat, often oversized, always expressive. There is no classic, no fashion, no middle ground. Just our own blue indigo recipe: Japanese styling, American workwear, and a distinctly Italian sense of irony. Made in Italy, in small batches, Peppino Peppino is for those who want to blur the lines – between genders, generations and whatever else people try to put you in.
DRAGON DIFFUSION
The collection is achieved through the specialized method of coloring the undyed crust leather straps in natural vegetable dyes and once prepared, our leather weavers use only their hands to craft our bags. A unique nature and feel is given to our products and over time and some use, the bags will develop a rich patina, that in fact enhances the feel and look of these hand crafted pieces.
MARIA LA ROSA
Unique and original. Handmade: combining a careful selection of raw materials with the slowness of centuries-old weaving techniques. With an always new and innovative look at the world. The result is exclusive and refined garments, produced in limited editions, meeting this way the everlasting criteria of quality and beauty. Deeply linked to the world of Italian craftsmanship and its excellences.

MARCO RAMBALDI - “The New FW26”
February 27 at 10.30 am
The Marco Rambaldi brand was born in Bologna, Italy, in 2017. It’s here that the history of inclusion, upcycling, and gender-bending began. Marco Rambaldi offers a total look with a focus on knitwear and crochet. The crocheted pieces are not unique but also sustainable, turning a memory of the past into a future memory of a strong and evolving feminism. Made in Italy is reinterpreted through its cultural context, not only synonymous with quality but also a source of creative power.
SIMON CRACKER - “Slow –"zie" Capitolo Finale”
February 28 at 7.00 pm
"Crack" is the fundamental concept behind the brand. It symbolizes destruction understood as transformation: breaking what is no longer valuable to give it new life. The sound of a crack is the beginning of everything: the act of breaking something already existing to reinvent and regenerate it. Simon Cracker is an upcycling clothing line that gives new life to forgotten garments, deadstock fabrics, and discarded materials, transforming them into unique and contemporary pieces with a creative and sustainable approach to fashion. The brand transcends traditional fashion logic: each piece is not just clothing, but an expression of movement, attitude, and personality. Punkindness has been part of the brand's DNA since its founding.
TOKYO JAMES - “Harmony”
February 28 at 2 pm
Tokyo James is a Nigerian-British luxury fashion brand founded in 2015 by Iniye Tokyo James. Fusing the creative energy of Lagos with the design tradition of London, the brand reinterprets classic tailoring through a bold and subversive lens. Known for its use of bold colors, unconventional fabrics, and clean-cut silhouettes, Tokyo James has quickly gained a global cult following. In 2022, the brand expanded into womenswear, maintaining its distinctive aesthetic while introducing a sensual and assertive touch. In both lines, Tokyo James stands out for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship, its choice of fine fabrics, and its bold designs. In essence, Tokyo James designs irreverent fashion with a cultural twist. The brand is grounded in intersectionality: it blends old and new, African and European, simplicity and complexity. From unexpected fabric pairings to layered cultural references, each collection celebrates the beauty of contrast and the power of shared experience.
FLORANIA - “If We Are All One, You Can’t Hurt Me”
February 26 at 1:15 pm
Florania is a ready-to-wear brand based on the valorization of fashion industry waste, born from radical experimentation with upcycling, innovation, technology, and ethical fashion. The brand was founded by Flora Rabitti in 2021 to support Italian tailoring and textile traditions by designing garments with minimal climate impact and a positive impact. Since 2023, Florania has officially presented during Milan Fashion Week and, in the same year, received the "Design for Change" award from the CNMI Fashion Trust, in partnership with Max&Co.
