The golden hour of sunset, the clear sea in the morning, the rainbow of beach parties, the calm of the hills full of green. Art in the streets and in museums, music, opera and theater with all the shades of emotions, the glow of the stars in the very short nights. All the colors of this season will be the protagonists of “Dressing the summer: high fashion and quality craftsmanship at Villa Borbone”, an event that will take place on Saturday and Sunday in the setting of Villa Borbone and organized by Maria Assunta Casaroli of the cultural association Ville Borbone e dimore storiche della Versilia and by Sabrina Mattei of Federmoda Lucca, in collaboration with Tiziana Trillo of Federmoda Firenze. The protagonists are ten artisan workshops of high tailoring and fashion houses from the provinces of Florence, Lucca, Pisa and Arezzo.
The program includes a fashion show for Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and, towards sunset, the opening of the exhibition on the ground floor of the Villa on Viale di Tigli, where it will be possible to meet the protagonists of “Dress the Summer” and further admire their clothes and accessories.
