Italian Embassy hosts fundraising fashion show ‘Defile’ della Rinascita’

Thirty-five women paraded in Kuwait at the residence of the Italian Ambassador for a fundraising event entirely donated to the Hayatt-Ruqayah Abdul Whahab Al-Qatami Breast Cancer Foundation. The Defilé della Rinascita(Rebirth Fashion Show) a project conceived by Raptus&Rose and the San Bassiano ODV Oncological Association, was hosted for the first time outside Italy, in the gardens of Villa Nassima, the residence of the Italian Ambassador in Kuwait.

The Défilé della Rinascita was born from a question: “Could your Moda Liberata ever parade for our project?” It was in 2016 and who asked that question was Dr Elena Pasquin, psychotherapist of the San Bassiano ODV Oncological Association, of Bassano del Grappa. Who answered with a “Yes” was Silvia Bisconti, creative director and Head of the Defilé della Rinascita, who in 2013 founded Raptus&Rose, a company whose beating heart is an experimental project called Moda Liberata, based on a new and radical idea of fashion: Every woman, every shape, every uniqueness can be explored through the clothes worn to give a new self-awareness.

After the editions in Veneto and Milan, the Défilé della Rinascita fashion show was made for this edition in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in Kuwait and Haytt-Ruqayah Abdul Whahab Al-Qatami
