A Gala Dinner on the 7th of June marked the opening of the thirteenth Convivio, the largest charity fair in Italy, held every two years in support of the Lombardy branch of ANLAIDS (Associazione Nazionale per la Lotta Contro l’AIDS – the National Association for the Fight Against AIDS). The 2016 event attracted a record 170+ brands, who donated clothing, accessories, footwear and design objects from their collections to be sold at half price during the five days of shopping for a good cause.
The theme of this year’s gala dinner was music, which each brand interpreted liberally, creating an extremely varied atmosphere. Prada’s table, linked to symbols of the Metaphysical painting movement, depicted a mysterious musical citadel, with brightly-coloured mountains reminiscent of string instruments, chimney stacks in the shape of flutes and metronomes featuring emblematic objects from the world of Prada, symbolising beating time.
The Prada Group took part in Convivio with a selection of products from the Prada, Miu Miu, Church’s and Car Shoe collections.
