Delhi runway hosts three Italian labels at Lakmē Fashion Week

The Italian Trade Agency presented the Eccellenza: The Artisans of Italian Style showcase in Delhi on October 17 with Confartigianato, FDCI and Camera Showroom Milano.

Avant Toi opened with *Traces of Memory*, a spring/summer 2027 collection by Giulia Marini and Fiorella Ghignone. Inspired by ancient Mediterranean salt roads, it used salt-dyed and hand-painted cashmere and silk, alongside basketry-inspired gauzes, raw-cut fabrics and floral raffia embroidery.

LeoDean followed with its debut spring/summer 2027 line, *The Uniform of the Modern Mediterranean Nomad*. Led by Oliver Beach and Natalia, the collection paired fluid silhouettes and sheer details with mineral and aquatic shades. Beach said the pieces were designed to move “from deck to dinner”.

Milan label UnbreakIT closed the showcase with *Dall’Alba alla Notte* — *From Dawn to Night* — by Mila Stephan and Giorgia Both. Its printed silks and fluid jerseys moved from light morning tones to darker evening hues.
