festival-fair · 2026-09-22

The fifth edition of Vogue World took place in Milan, following previous events in New York, London, Paris, and Los Angeles. The opening performance featured Roberto Bolle and his company dancing through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II to a reimagined score from La Traviata by choreographer Laccio. Ferrari provided the costumes, with creative director Rocco Iannone designing bespoke looks that drew on contemporary design and the house's themes of movement and transformation. The dancers wore sleeveless, draped, high-neck knitted tops and close-fitting leggings; female dancers combined technical bodysuits with fluid skirts. Iannone used elastic materials like jersey and Lycra, emphasizing comfort and precision. The color palette included Rosso Magma, a vibrant red, paired with Brown Purosangue. Bolle first appeared in a black vest and shirt, later closing in a black bolero jacket. He praised the costumes for allowing freedom of movement and enhancing his physicality. Iannone noted that the performance was the starting point, with costumes acting as a second skin. The event highlighted the intersection of Italian elegance and performance, with Ferrari's aesthetic and Vogue World's principles of innovation and craftsmanship.
