Look to the great plains for a new spin on style.
This season takes inspiration from the traditional Americana vibes of prairie style, complete with puff sleeves, a-line dresses, and structured bodices. Minimal styles that won’t go unnoticed. Tradition fuses with modernity to create a fresh and alluring aesthetic.
Step into the meadows in this season’s new looks.

More about the location:
Botanic Garden:
With 500,000 square meters, the Botanic Garden of Fattoria di Maiano is the largest in Italy. Inside, 20,000 olive trees sway in the sun like a silver sea. The Botanic Garden of Fattoria di Maiano, nestled between the soft Fiesole hills and the rocky walls of the caves, is an enchanting garden that refreshes soul and senses. Here you can forget stress and noise of the city, and enjoy an exclusive landscape, celebrated by artists and historical figures over the years. The garden reserves many attractions and wonderful paths, from regenerating walks to picnics at the shade of oaks, from family trips in the educational farm to romantic intimacy on the shores of the lake.
Inaugurated by Queen Victoria in 1893, the Romantic Park is a slice of Heaven. The placid water of the small lake Colonne reflect the lush foliage of the oaks. On its banks you can admire the quarry from which Lorenzo il Magnifico extracted the stones for the Columns of the Princes Chapel, in San Lorenzo Basilica. The delightful Casa del Tè, where Sir John Temple used to welcome his guests, is now an intimate place for refreshment.
Dream Big in a Little Tower:
Simone Micheli has designed the interiors of Laghetto delle Colonne’s Tower, better known as Maiano’s Tower, transforming it into a welcoming and enduring work of art.
The tower is wrapped in a fascinating aura, offering the visitor a sensational, dream like and super-dimensional experience. The tower becomes an imaginary place that offers its customers a different perspective and the possibility of understanding and reflecting on the deepest meaning of experience, letting the mind free from its day to day habits.
Surrounded by the green of Romantic Park and reflected in the water of the pond below, the tower is an harmonious and central element in the structure of the landscape that allows the imagination of visitors to wander unbounded. The geometric lines that characterizes the outward appearance of the tower are softened by the aging past and by the vitality of the surrounding nature. From the outside and the interior of the tower there is not a clear limit but a continuous exchange without end. The ancient tower is converted into an extreme luxury suite where past, present and future are immediately integrated. Similarly, the lights and shadows are merged into a play of regards that captures the sight and human senses; it creates new, dynamic, unfathomable areas in the space. The walls of the structure show the sign of time, the furniture that Architect Simone Micheli made especially for the occasion are essential, fascinating, pure and perfectly fit with the rest of the environment, causing a timeless break in the cycle of everyday life.
