Diamond Club Italy… the most exclusive fashion excellence at Milan Fashion Week

In the heart of Milan, the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi has always been the ideal setting for exclusive events during Milan Fashion Week. One of Europe’s most refined house museums, it combines Renaissance elegance with Milanese charm, offering sumptuous, authentic interiors just a stone’s throw from the “Quadrilatero della Moda”, Milan’s famous fashion district. More than a venue, it is a symbol of style, history and hospitality: the perfect destination for experiencing Milan at its most inspiring and unforgettable.

And so it was that the Museum opened its doors to one of the most eagerly awaited and extraordinary occasions of Milan Fashion Week: the Diamond Club Fashion Event, held on 24 September 2026. This Renaissance setting of rare beauty, a symbol of style and hospitality, made the evening an unforgettable experience for guests and protagonists alike. Guests were welcomed by Cesarina Ferruzzi, who presented and hosted the event masterfully. The organisers of the Diamond Club Fashion Event, Carmelo Alì and Laura Pagani Cesa, thanked their distinguished and highly select guests for travelling from all over Europe to attend.

Heartfelt thanks also went to the event’s illustrious partners: the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi, the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce of New York and the Swiss National Chamber of Fashion. From its very first moments, the evening was hailed as one of the defining events of Milan Fashion Week. Among the special guests was the President of the Swiss Chamber of Fashion, Franco Taranto. He was accompanied by the emblem of his great nation, “Mother Helvetia”, portrayed by the beautiful Miss Swiss Sara Casalinuovo. The President thanked the organisers and reminded the guests how important such events are in giving visibility to designers’ splendid creations. After this moving moment, the evening continued with runway shows by leading names in fashion.

The event opened with the first show by Elena Grazia Couture, the label of designer Elena Golets, who brings more than thirty years of experience to womenswear. Her creations combine tailored cuts, clean lines and a particular attention to the architecture of the body. Silk, cashmere and wool are shaped into elegant, contemporary garments designed for women who love to express their personality freely.

Next on the runway was Goshiee, an innovative British fashion label that combines contemporary style with sustainability. With distinctive collections marked by bold designs and eco-friendly materials, Goshiee stands out for its ethical vision of fashion. Every garment reflects a commitment to quality and environmental responsibility, offering conscious elegance.

Maison Dray, founded by the young and acclaimed designer Enrico Dray, who trained at IED and specialised in haute couture, presented its new 2027 collection: a true tribute to the magnificence of Italian opera. The collection features structured grosgrain suits and stunning gowns with sculpted silhouettes, where volume and precious detailing merge in a balance of tailoring rigour and theatrical opulence. The designer also announced the opening of his prestigious atelier in the beautiful city of Monza, inaugurated in early September 2026.

Sofía NOSE, stylist and fashion consultant, presented her vision of the Autumn/Winter 2026 trends for the first time. A careful selection of five designers from London, Madrid, Turkey and Porto turned the runway into an international map of style, talent and avant-garde design. Hers is an expert eye that does not merely interpret fashion but anticipates what we will want to wear.

The first half of the shows ended with a captivating musical interlude, made magical by the saxophone of “Federico Sax”, who entertained the distinguished guests with four pieces from his outstanding repertoire.

From China came the prestigious brand REMINI 1900. Rooted in an Eastern perspective, it grapples with the dilemmas created by the cultural fractures of the twentieth century. The brand synthesises the industrial rigour of Western modernism, the geometry of Art Deco and the tailoring traditions of Inner Asia, transforming global cultural currents into an independent expression of the contemporary Eastern spirit, with the aim of redefining a self-assured Eastern fashion aesthetic.

Special thanks were reserved for the Main Sponsors, whose strong commitment and support made this event possible. Heartfelt thanks go to: Alfa G Group – Barman In Viaggio – Nims Lavazza – IPI S.p.A. – Leis Model Agency – Corral Luxury Events – MB Media Consulting Switzerland. Diamond Club is not only about fashion and design, but also about art. The select guests were able to admire works by the artists Daniela Porro and Marzia Cotroneo, whose paintings graced this prestigious event.

The shows resumed with Polish designer Isabell von Piotrovski, by now a familiar face at Milan Fashion Week, known for creations that blend elegance and modernity. The pieces she presented at the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi, with their clean lines and sophisticated details, reflect a unique and refined aesthetic. With a strong commitment to sustainability, Isabel is redefining the concept of contemporary fashion.

From Poland, the creative and original brand Malinez Lingerie won over the guests with its wonderful collection. A family brand that has been making lingerie in Poland for 33 years, it passes its craftsmanship down from generation to generation. Its story is increasingly rare in the lingerie industry: a small family business, now in its third generation, that remains faithful to its own stylistic philosophy rather than chasing each season’s passing trends. Today it is enjoying great success at Milan Fashion Week.

The event continued with Black Sun, a young fashion brand created and led by the eclectic designer Erica Tavonatti, who interprets the present day through a bold, essential and instantly recognisable aesthetic. Her vision combines stylistic research, personality and attention to detail, and speaks to a new generation that sees fashion as a form of individual expression.

Closing the shows was the renowned Chinese brand LFAX, whose distinctive collections express creativity and style. A high-end womenswear label founded in Shanghai in 2023, it is led by founder Wang Qin, who has nearly 30 years of experience in the most prestigious luxury ateliers. The brand sources the finest cashmere and silk from around the world and interprets a “less is more” philosophy through refined details inspired by Eastern aesthetics. LFAX is aimed at independent, accomplished women with a deep sense of inner fulfilment, and it is rapidly expanding into international markets. Combining tradition and modernity, its creations left the guests spellbound with their uniqueness and beauty.

An iconic and highly significant moment followed with the presentation of the Celebre Magazine Award. The award was conferred upon the Chinese brand LFAX by Massimo Basile, publisher and founder of the prestigious magazine and the award itself, together with Pan Qi, Celebre Magazine World’s Official Ambassador for China. LFAX received the title of Best Fashion Designer, “Haute Couture Craftsmanship Heritage Award”. The designer accepted this important honour with great enthusiasm and emotion.

The event received outstanding worldwide coverage from its official Media Partners: Monaco Woman – Monte Carlo / Forbes Network – UK / Gazzetta di Milano – Italy / Gazzetta di Lombardia – Italy / Celebre Magazine World – Switzerland / Chic Icon – Dubai / Yes London – London / Big News Network – UK / Amore World Magazine – Italy / EllediGi Magazine – London / Elysian Magazine – USA / Global Event Magazine – USA / 5 Stars Elite Magazine – Italy / Luxury Investment Magazine – Switzerland / Rinascimento Magazine – Switzerland / The Daily Guardian – UK / Vogue Vocal – USA / Globally Content Magazine – UK / Il Masaniello Magazine – Italy / The European Business Review – Luxembourg / The Occidental Magazine – Ireland / The Blaze Magazine – Norway.

Behind the scenes, the make-up and hairstyling teams from Accademia Professionale PBS and Academia BSI Milano did a superb job, making every look flawless and unique. At the end of the shows, guests were treated to a lavish cocktail reception on the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi’s splendid terrace, where they enjoyed outstanding cocktails prepared by Barman in Viaggio and excellent espresso signed by Nims – Lavazza.

The organisers thanked everyone for sharing these extraordinary moments and invited them to a convivial aperitif, promising to meet again at the next edition in 2027. The Diamond Club Fashion Event proved itself once more to be a true tribute to fashion, art and the creative genius of designers, blending elegance and innovation into an unforgettable experience.

Amid applause and slowly dimming lights, one thought spread among those present: fashion is not just a garment, but a universal language of emotion, beauty and vision. With that conviction, anticipation is already building for the 6th edition of the Diamond Club Fashion Event, scheduled for February 2027.
