The Italian house was in the spotlight in Milan last February for the presentation of the first collection by Daniel Lee, who had been appointed as the brand's creative director in June 2018. Combining a futuristic spirit with traditional techniques, this debut collection was unanimously acclaimed by the fashion sphere.
It was a more than promising start for the British designer, who went on to win in a multitude of categories at the 2019 Fashion Awards, held on December 2 (Accessories Designer of the Year, Brand of the Year, British Designer of the Year for Womenswear and Designer of the Year).
