Italian brand Luisa Spagnoli launched its Autumn/Winter 2016/17 Collection with a fashion show inside the unique surroundings of Hilltop Gardens in Naxxar.

The event, held on 5 October was followed by a reception and all proceeds from the entrance tickets have been pledged to the Malta Community Chest Fund.

"Luisa Spagnoli's creations are a triumph in tradition, sophistication and pure Made in Italy style. Clothes are a work of art, conceptualized and created out of high craftsmanship, refined and from high quality both in terms of fabric and design. These are the qualities which took centre stage during the fashion show," said Romina Grech Fenech, managing director of Sterling Group, local representatives of Luisa Spagnoli.

"We are also proud to have hosted this fashion show inside the beautiful grounds of Hilltop Gardens in Naxxar, a village that shares the same philosophy of contemporary excellence, high quality and warm sophistication. We are also delighted to once again be able to help the Malta Community Chest Fund in its cause to reach out to those more vulnerable in our society," added Ms Grech Fenech.

Speaking on behalf of Hilltop Gardens, Claire Xuereb said: "We are delighted to have partnered with such a prestigious brand as Luisa Spagnoli to make this event happen. Hosting this unique fashion event at Hilltop Gardens is in line with our commitment to offer a unique environment to all those who visit us.
