So many cool brands I discovered this week, I can’t divide this section into day 4,5…because I saw A LOT!!! So my moodboards will show you everything and of course I will tell you a little bit about some of these brands.
If you want to know something specific do let me know in the comments or chat :)
A quick note on this coffee: this brand was presenting their coffee machine and the design is a small apartments SUPER CUTE!! And they were giving coffee for free in 5 different flavors, I got this one with iced coffee, condensed coconut and lavanda.
ARTEMEST: this is one of the most famous and expected exhibition during Milan Design Week. It’s such a nice apartment open only for this week, the queue is super long, some people waited for more than 2h to get in. This apartment shows every room with different decor and what I loved the most was the bath with the flowers. The inspiration of the whole apartment as I observed was nature and the ocean.
The first picture on the left is from ALCOVA. The location was at BAGGIO MILITARY HOSPITAL which is an old abandoned military hospital but the whole area is super cool and it matches perfectly with the presentation of the brands, the admission to the exhibition costs €12 if you buy your ticket online, or €15 if you purchase it at the door.But it worth it!!! All the rooms have something to see and they’re divided by sections.
The second picture on the right is the Vogue Vintage Market, the event is dedicated to the sale of second-hand fashion, featuring archival clothing and accessories. All proceeds will be donated to Fondazione Pangea ETS to support women affected by domestic violence. The clothes and accessories were from brands archival, influencers, creators, stylists closet. And yes, I bought one beautiful blouse from Luisa Spagnoli SS2010 from a stylist closet.
Artisia and Barilla had this event to present for the very first time their pasta (finger food) made by a 3D printer. I never thought I could eat something that was printed!!!! On their website you can buy the finger food 3D pasta, the idea to have this kind of food for an event, wedding or something is GENIUS. They also create logos if needed. Also during the event there were chairs in the shape of pasta also created by a 3D printer.
✨ If you’re a brand looking to create thoughtful, high-quality content that truly connects, I’d love to collaborate. I partner with teams who value creativity, storytelling, and a genuine relationship with their audience.
