Paula Canovas Del Vas presented 'NO ONE OWNS ME', a collection celebrating individuality with vibrant colors, textured fabrics, and her iconic 3D flower. Yonathan Karmel, a Franco-Israeli designer, focused on sartorial precision, mixing suede and tailored suits with unexpected details and maxi-silhouettes.
