"My heart is aching for my country. I am saddened. My family is in Ukraine, I live here in Italy. I wanted to continue working and I walked out not to think about what they are doing to my country".
Inna Sepurkovitina, a 20-year-old Ukrainian model, opens the fashion show of the Maison Celestino FW 2022/23 collection, which was held at the Teatro India in Rome, with a regal bearing.
Title "The Veil of Isis".
The idea that gave life to the collection was in fact the Egyptian inscription dedicated to the goddess Isis, which is found in the Pyramid of Unas - Piana in Giza: "Let your veil dress you for a moment".
The Ukrainian model plays Isis, the Egyptian divinity who made her way into pre-imperial Rome with her mysterious charm, wearing a long ivory dress and a precious shawl edged with long fringes, with which she opens the fashion show.
On the catwalk 26 outfits in delicate and Mediterranean colors, long dresses with flared sleeves, peplums, delicate transparencies and impalpable "fil coupé" feathers worked on luminous and flowing fabrics, straight trousers and caban jackets enriched with oriental-inspired embroidery and details.
