On September 18th, RETORI, unveiled its debut collection, Chapter 01, at Milan Fashion Week.The event invited visitors to not just witness, but become a part of RETORI’s unfolding story, participating to the celebration of creativity and the fragments of life, self-discovery, authenticity and fulfillment, that connect us all.

Guests were welcomed into a contemporary art gallery space, invited to flow through an immersive journey in which the boundaries between visitors and performers blur and the interaction became a source of inspiration.

The art piece by textile artist Diedrick Brackens, whose work weaves heritage and resilience into tapestries, further enriched the atmosphere and served as a key inspiration for the collection.

Daniela Portillo, the El Salvador-born artist whose personal story and art inspired RETORI’s Chapter 01 collection, shared her wisdom and visionary thinking in a talk with Salma Rachid, moderated by director and scenographer Fabio Cherstich. Laszlo Badet, a food designer, crafted a sensory culinary experience, while saxophonist and composer Bendik Giske filled the space with his transformative sounds. Berlin-based floral designer Lilo Klinkerberg sculpted organic, verdant shapes, blending them seamlessly into the environment.
