The event is held at the Italian capital's Complesso monumentale Santo Spirito in Saxia and combines everything people expect to see from a traditional fashion show with a few modern updates.

What's on When reports that the spectacle promises "experimental performances, designed to intertwine garments with art and spectacle".

Both established designers and young, fresh talent showcase their work to audiences where representatives from major fashion houses rub shoulders with interested members of the public.
