Among the distinguished attendees, the presence of Roberto Coin is always a highlight. Renowned for its artistic flair and commitment to storytelling through jewels, the brand will unveil its most iconic collections alongside exciting new additions. The beloved Art Deco line will feature a selection of new ready-to-wear pieces, embodying the timeless elegance and geometric precision of the era. A significant reveal for 2022 is the Navarra collection, drawing inspiration from the rich symbolism of the Spanish dynasty’s coat of arms, manifested in its intricate design of 16 intertwined chains.

Another revered name making its mark is FOPE, a brand synonymous with revolutionary design and comfort.
