Diamond Club Italy is set to present a remarkable evening during Milan Fashion Week on 2nd March 2026, held in the stunning surroundings of the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi. Located just moments away from Via Montenapoleone and the city’s most exclusive luxury area, this esteemed house-museum, celebrated for its Renaissance-inspired beauty, intimate salons, and intricately designed interiors, creates an ambiance rich in Italian artistry. It serves not merely as a venue but as a storyteller, transforming a fashion event into a cultural experience where modern vision harmonises with heritage, sophistication, and a uniquely Milanese sense of subtlety.
Enhancing the event’s global prominence, Diamond Club Italy will host its platinum partners, The World Luxury Chamber of Commerce (New York, USA) and the National Chamber Swiss Fashion, with the presence of its President, Franco Taranto.
The evening will thus unfold within a network of global excellence, where fashion, luxury, entrepreneurship and cultural prestige intersect, underscoring Diamond Club Italy’s role as a connector between creative industries and high-profile international communities.

The organisers, Carmelo Ali and Laura Pagani Cesa, express their gratitude to the participants and partners for their invaluable contribution to this third edition, which will take place on 2nd March 2026. The event will be presented and directed by Cesarina Ferruzzi. Their vision, which goes beyond curating a mere show to create an experience, has become central to Diamond Club Italy’s identity: a platform where designers, brands, and artisans are not just presented, but celebrated in a context designed to highlight their story.
The runway will be presented with the support of Leis Model Agency, directed by Luciano Leis, bringing 20 top models selected to interpret the designers’ work with elegance and precision. Behind the scenes, beauty direction will be entrusted to Martina Costarelli MUA, overseeing hair and make-up to ensure every look appears cohesive, polished and editorial, crafted not only to impress on the catwalk, but to resonate in photographs, media coverage and the memory of guests. The result promises a presentation of high aesthetic consistency, where styling becomes part of the design language itself.
The March appointment builds on the « momentum » of the Diamond Club Fashion Event held on 28 September 2025, an edition that confirmed the museum’s growing reputation as a meeting point for fashion, culture and craftsmanship. That evening drew a distinguished international audience, with guests travelling from across Europe to experience a distinctive dialogue between runway creativity and an environment shaped by history. The refined tension between modern silhouettes and Renaissance echoes proved magnetic, giving the event a signature mood: exclusive, cultured, and unmistakably Italian.
Laura Pagani Cesa – Carmelo Ali – Cesarina Ferruzzi – Massimo Basile – Giuseppe Fata
Among the most talked-about presences was Giuseppe Fata, the acclaimed “Head Sculpture Designer”, recognised globally for uniting sculptural vision with fashion. His artistry captivated attendees and culminated in a notable moment of recognition with the presentation of the Celebre Magazine Award by renowned publisher Massimo Basile, a tribute to international excellence and an emblem of Diamond Club Italy’s commitment to highlighting talent, innovation and the rare ability to transcend categories. In a world that often separates disciplines, Fata’s work was a reminder that true luxury is, first and foremost, an idea, shaped by mastery and imagination.
The runway itself brought together a varied line-up of designers and brands, each offering a distinct aesthetic and identity. Maison Dray, under Enrico Dray, presented high-fashion creations that balanced wearability with meticulous craftsmanship, reaffirming the enduring appeal of bespoke tailoring and the discipline of impeccable construction. Iskia Luxury Bags expressed a confident blend of Italian artisanal heritage and contemporary design, bags conceived for the modern, discerning woman who seeks character, quality and timelessness in equal measure.
The niche jewellery brand Dream Shabby Chic, founded by Daniela Rota Nodari and shown in international fairs and museums, unveiled its Spring–Summer 2026 lines, jewels that speak in a poetic register, suspended between romantic nuance and collectible design. Default Happiness delivered a light, optimistic sensibility through authentic, essential pieces, an effortless elegance that feels contemporary precisely because it does not demand attention, but earns it. J’Adore Couture explored elegance and character through modern silhouettes, fine fabrics and sartorial detailing, while Caputo Pellicce embodied the meeting of tradition and innovation, championing genuine luxury, know-how and craftsmanship. Completing the narrative, Likeman offered menswear defined by clean design and quality, pieces that translate the language of modern masculinity into sharp lines and confident restraint.
A musical interlude rounded off the first part of the runway, enriched by the saxophone performance of “Federico Sax”, a live note of glamour that amplified the evening’s cinematic rhythm and lent the atmosphere an additional layer of sophistication. The event also paid tribute to its main sponsors, including IOS – Istituto Odontostomatologico Siciliano, represented by Cetty Rizzo, who introduced the institution to guests, another sign of the event’s ability to bring together style, excellence and leading professional realities under one refined umbrella.
For the forthcoming 2 March 2026 event, Diamond Club Italy will welcome attendees with a cocktail reception curated by the renowned Venturini Winery, featuring a tasting of its prestigious labels, an experience designed to complement the fashion presentations and heighten the sense of occasion. In this setting, the reception becomes a prelude: a moment of conversation, introductions and anticipation, where guests enter the world of the evening through hospitality that feels curated rather than routine.
With the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi set just steps from the city’s luxury heart, the choice of venue feels both symbolic and irresistible, an emblem of Milan itself, where beauty is never separated from culture, and innovation is always anchored in legacy. Diamond Club Italy extends an invitation to designers, leaders in style and connoisseurs of excellence to be part of an evening where elegance and innovation converge, promising inspiration, artistry and the unmistakable glamour associated with the Diamond Club, a night of stardust, shaped with precision, taste and international allure.
