In the world of fashion, designers become storytellers, using fabric, color, and form to craft narratives that transcend the mundane. As we sit in the audience or view these presentations through screens, we are drawn into a visual feast where every detail, from the choice of models to the music playing in the background, has been carefully orchestrated to evoke emotions and provoke thought. With their power to inspire and mesmerize, fashion presentations remind us that beauty can be found in the artistry of clothing and the creativity of those who craft it. As we eagerly anticipate the French runways’ forthcoming revelations, BURO beckons you to savour the finest fashion presentations witnessed beneath the enchanting Italian skies, so keep your eyes wide open.
At MACH & MACH, a mermaid visits the city and discovers retail therapy!
Imagine a mermaid, an aquatic enchantress, venturing into the bustling heart of the city. There, in Milan, she discovers the sheer exhilaration of retail therapy, her tail of scales elegantly navigating the streets as she immerses herself in the vibrant pulse of the city center.

After a day filled with the delights of shopping, she seeks solace within the confines of a luxurious hotel room. With an air of anticipation, she gently unwraps and arranges her treasures, a treasure trove of memories and exquisite finds, each item bearing a unique story. It’s an intimate ritual, a personal shopping experience, a testament to the essence of her seaside adventure, now entwined with the pulse of the city that captivated her. Mach & Mach’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection emerges as a majestic tribute to the underwater world and its regal inhabitants from mermaids to tritons.
