Tamano Nagashima has designed ‘Caniches’ in pastel silk, while Vesna Brun Popovic will present a new ready-to-wear collection. Guest designer Rustam Adyukov’s couture boots will also be included and will feature embroidery, silk and pearls.
The Imagine en Duo section is a collection of projects from the previous edition’s Rising Stars area, featuring designers such as Fanta Coulibaly & DIM, Moyi Ekolo & Ghostin, Aristine & Karine Dupont and Nicolas Badaya & Yves Desfarge.
Fifteen brands will also appear in the Creative Labels area featuring young designers from across the globe.
