In continuation of our Being Luisa collection narrative first unveiled during Venice Fashion Week at the splendid Hotel Ca’ Sagredo, the second chapter takes us to the enchanting Island of Lido during the renowned Venice Film Festival.
Historically a hub for cultural exchanges and leisure among the international elite, Lido becomes the backdrop for our protagonist’s eventful day.
From dazzling in timeless Couture looks before the iconic Hotel Excelsior to gracing the Venice Film Festival Red Carpet with effortless poise, our Marchesa captivates every audience she encounters.
For more relaxed occasions, including a sailboat cruise across the lagoon, Luisa embraces her playful side, exuding casual chic. Reflecting her symbiotic connection with the natural world, we proudly introduce the first designs from our new Nativemind concept—crafted with organic fish skin, leather, lamb, and goat fur.
As ambassadors of Parisian elegance and savoir-faire, Nativemind draws from ancestral traditions and French craftsmanship to redefine modern luxury. Our ecologically conscious production procedures, including collaborations with Hanna Nore—a Finnish tanner reviving traditional, sustainable methods—further our mission to protect endangered species, such as the Kainuu Grey sheep, a breed nearly lost to time.
Marchesa’s passion for mythology and spirits makes her the perfect embodiment of Nativemind’s philosophy. By celebrating the richness of ancestral wisdom, we seek to bridge the mythological with the modern—a timeless reflection of luxury in harmony with the natural world.
