Roman Holiday
Aquazzura x Mytheresa Capture La Dolce Vita in the Iconic Home of Italian Cinema The Eternal City proved a delightfully befitting destination to celebrate the longstanding partnership between Aquazzura and Mytheresa, and to mark the release of their latest capsule collection, in early July. A guestlist,comprised of royals, international celebrities, influencers and friends of the brand, descended on the Roman capital for a two-day experience beginning with an al fresco dinner at Cinecittà Studios – the iconic home of Italian cinema. Edgardo Osorio, Founder and Creative Director of Aquazzura, and Michael Kliger, CEO of Mytheresa, welcomed the likes of Diane Kruger, Stella Maxwell, Lady Kitty Spencer, Marchioness Emma Thynn, Princess Eugenia of Hannover, Lady Lola Bute, Countesses Sarah, Victoria and Melissa von Faber-Castell, Princess Antonella D'Orleans-Bourbon, Begum Khan, Bethy Lagardère, Alex Rivière, Jessica Kahawaty, Tamara Kalinic, Eugenia Silva, Nieves Alvarez, Victoria Iglesias, and Harper's Bazaar amongst many others, for a two-day celebration that proved as fantastical as its Roman host venue. Home to such epics as Ben-Hur, La Dolce Vita, Roman Holiday, and Cleopatra, Cinecittà set the scene for an opening night of revelry, and one in which beauty and theatricality took centre stage. Guests meandered down a pathway of bold red and white stripes; surrounded by a film set featuring grand colonnades of an ancient Roman temple, against a soundscape of rousing cinematic scores, providing a heady mix of glorious gravitas and modern day magic. A striking installation, Aquazzura's first retrospective (but not its last, Edgardo promises Bazaar), featuring 300 pairs of archival shoes in a cacophony of colours, stretching out like a rainbow meadow under the gaze of a Roman temple, was dazzling. The epic nature of the venue manifested itself in a plethora of leading lady worthy silhouettes and styles, all capped off with Aquazzura shoes and bags, with several guests also donning sunglasses from Aquazzura's newly released inaugural eyewear collection; the latest chapter in its craftsmanship-driven, sun-drenched universe. At dinner, guests were greeted by a dreamy Riviera Aquazzura Casa table setting resplendent with pink and fuchsia peonies, jatropha, and celosia, alive with refined textures and vibrant shades, capturing the best kind of Mediterranean outdoor dining experience; complete with a handheld fan to keep the heat at bay. The cinematic venue, buzzing with notions of fantasy turned reality, truth and fiction, paved the way for philosophical musings over supper, before a live DJ transformed the historic setting into a dance floor— hair down, fans raised, feet poised, in a dizzying display of sequins, feathers, and cascading laughter that might have been scripted by F. Scott Fitzgerald and directed by Federico Fellini himself. Osorio, having arrived from a wedding in Comporta via a birthday party in Italy and ahead of a holiday in Saint-Tropez, danced the night away in Aquazzura loafers. His secret to staying fresh on a demanding schedule? 'Ice baths.' The following morning saw guests reconvene at the newly opened Aquazzura Bar in the midst of the enchanting garden of the Hotel de Russie — marking the closing chapter of a whirlwind Roman novella. Capturing the essence of La Dolce Vita, the secret oasis, inspired by the Aquazzura Casa Secret Garden tableware collection, proved the perfect setting for flowing conversation and a veritable smorgasbord of Italian delicacies punctuated with Aquazzura x MyTheresa branded lemons; a beautifully chic touch. Guests took shade from the blistering sun under the iconic black and white striped umbrellas lining the exterior, and Secret Garden themed custom awnings on the interior, flanked by bespoke Portuguese tiles, hand-painted with delicate lemon motifs. Hearts full, memories made, we departed for Fiumicino airport – with more than one guest contemplating an Osorio-endorsed ice bath. Photography by Lucas Possiede

On Thursday, the duo teamed up for a spectacular soirée to toast Aquazzura's exclusive new capsule collection—and their long-standing partnership—in seriously cinematic style: right on the steps of Cinecittà Studios' legendary ancient Roman temple set. With delicious food, a chic crowd, and a rainbow-hued meadow made up of 300 pairs of Aquazzura shoes, the night was pure magic. 'It felt like a dream come true to make a party with Mytheresa, one of our first clients, and an incredible supporter through the years of Aquazzura, in Rome with friends and family, and on one of the most magical sets where they filmed Ben-Hur and Cleopatra,' Edgardo Osorio, founder and creative director of Aquazzura, exclusively tells ELLE. Taking inspiration from Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, the evening channeled the glitz and glamour of 1960s Italy. To kick off the two-part event, Osorio and Michael Kliger, CEO of Mytheresa, invited an international array of It girls, royalty, actors, and close friends. Attendees included Lola Bute, Kitty Spencer, Diane Kruger, Princess Eugenia von Hannover, Stella Maxwell, and more. The long table was a vision of romantic elegance, adorned with lush floral arrangements of jatropha, peonies, and celosia. After dinner, guests danced the night away—a scene fit for any Fellini fantasy. The following morning began with a leisurely brunch at the brand-new Aquazzura Bar, tucked inside the iconic Hotel de Russie and just a stone's throw from the historic Spanish Steps. After a night of celebration and a morning of relaxation, the glamorous Roman getaway came to a perfect close. Alexandra Hildreth is the Fashion News Editor at ELLE.

Aquazzura to debut inaugural eyewear collection in June
Aquazzura, the ebullient and happening footwear brand, is about to fête a new launch—an inaugural eyewear collection in June. The eyewear collection will mark a smart new chapter in the house's aesthetic of blending smart Italian sophistication with top-rate craftsmanship. The goal: to reimagine sunglasses as objets d'art, infusing each pair with vibrant elegance and the spirit of escapism at the heart of the brand. The eyewear collection will be available exclusively in Aquazzura boutiques and on starting in June. Three distinct styles anchor the collection, each a tribute to feminine individuality. Like the Palm Beach, defined in a release as 'a poetic homage to retro glamour and the sun-drenched allure of Italian summer. Rimless, profiled with elongated floral contours and made in translucent nylon and acetate, they echo the crystal chandeliers and handblown bottles of the 1950s and 1960s.' While the Bella plays on retro glamour with oversized, Seventies-inflected aviator shapes in matte or translucent acetate—spanning black, light gray, and honey—it is combined with a striking 3D-effect crocodile motif tracing the upper rim and bridge, evoking Aquazzura's expert mastery of diverse materials. The Riviera, meanwhile, is cat-eyed and softly contoured, inspired by Murano glass and finished with metal detailing embedded within the arms. All three models are linked by a core signature: a wrought wire shaped like a palm, tipped delicately at the top, encased within the acetate arms. Prices range from €395 for the Bella shades to €550 for the Palm Beach style. 'Eyewear feels like a natural extension for Aquazzura, as we have always been a brand deeply connected to the sea and sunny destinations. I discovered an exceptional boutique factory in the Veneto region that handcrafts each pair with intricate details, making the sunglasses sophisticated, modern, and beautiful,' said creative director Edgardo Osorio, who founded the label in 2012. News of the eyewear launch comes one month after the Florence-based house's latest brand extension—a bar inside the Hotel de Russie in Rome.
