There are moments when fashion transcends product. It becomes gesture, setting, and even story. In Rome, beneath ancient columns and cinematic skies, Aquazzura and Mytheresa brought their third exclusive capsule collection to life – not with a runway, but with a feeling.
The two-day celebration unfolded as a curated immersion into Italian glamour. It began at Cinecittà Studios, Rome’s most storied stage. Under the towering architecture of its replica Roman temple, guests gathered for a sunset cocktail and intimate dinner, hosted by Mytheresa CEO Michael Kliger and Aquazzura’s founder and creative director Edgardo Osorio.
The scene: a blooming tablescape awash in coral roses and jatropha, flanked by a rainbow meadow of over 200 Aquazzura shoes – a surreal installation where elegance met fantasy. As night fell, the colonnades pulsed with music. A live DJ set turned the sacred into the spirited. Cinecittà transformed into a place not just of memory, but of movement.
The following morning started with a refined brunch at the newly opened Aquazzura Bar inside Hotel de Russie, offering a final act of intimacy and elegance. Surrounded by travertine walls and Mediterranean greenery, guests toasted not only a collection but a shared sensibility.
Because the capsule itself speaks the same language. Vibrant and sculptural, it reinterprets Aquazzura’s signature femininity through a summer lens. Crystal-embellished pumps, satin mules, and knotted sandals arrive in bold emeralds and delicate pastels, designs that move seamlessly from afternoon light to evening intrigue. Each piece suggests possibility: a party yet to be attended; a terrace not yet danced on.
In Rome, that promise took form. Aquazzura x Mytheresa isn’t just a collection, it’s an invitation. To step lightly, to dress brightly. To walk through life as though film. And in Rome, even the shadows know how to sparkle.
