KUWAIT CITY, Dec 4: Thirty-five women participated in a fashion show in Kuwait, at the residence of the Italian ambassador, in a fundraising event donated by the Hayyat Foundation- Ruqia Abdel-Wahhab Al-Qatami for breast cancer.

The Defilé della Rinascita® (The New Born Devil), a project conceived by Raptus & Rose and the San Passiano Oncology Society, was hosted for the first time outside of Italy, in the garden of Villa Nassima, the residence of the Italian Ambassador to Kuwait.

Défilé della Rinascita® was born out of a question: “Can Moda Liberata be featured in our project?” It was in 2016 and the one who asked this question was Dr. Elena Pasquin, a psychologist at the San Bassiano Oncology Society in Bassano del Grappa. And who answered the question with a “yes” is Silvia Bisconti, Creative Director and President of Defilé della Rinascita, who in 2013 founded Raptus & Rose, a company whose heartbeat is an experimental project called Moda Liberata, built around a new and radical idea of fashion that is to explore every A woman, every form, every uniqueness through the clothes that are worn to give a new self-awareness.

After copying in Veneto and Milan, this edition of the fashion show Défilé della Rinascita was presented in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in Kuwait and the Hayatt – Ruqia Abdul Wahab Al Qatami Breast Cancer Foundation, which, through fundraising activities, finances and pursues the course of treatment for expatriate patients (non-Kuwaiti) ) who live and work in Kuwait. It was the desire of the Italian Ambassador to Kuwait, Carlo Balducci and his wife Cristiana, that prompted them to propose to Raptus & Rose and the San Paciano Association to hold a “Divelier della Rinacchett” fashion show in Kuwait, after showing them in Castello Sforzesco in Milan last May, sensing that this The project can be brought to Kuwait to enhance dialogue and cooperation at all levels between the two countries. Indeed, the Deville project, and what it also represents from a therapeutic and cultural point of view, is part of the process undertaken by the Embassy to deepen the ties between Italy and Kuwait through popular initiatives such as these.
