Bologna, Fashion, and Roma

Published by:

On Saturday 6 April at 8.30pm, in Bologna, the DumBO Workshop welcomes the ‘Rom (antico) Fashion Show’, a fashion show in which the designer of Sinti origins Noell Maggini will present a selection of his creations. Born in Prato, 29 years old, Maggini creates tailor-made couture collections and garments, which are designed, cut and made by hand.

“It will be my first fashion show in Bologna and I am very curious – explained Maggini – I brought my models to Florence at Pitti Uomo and to Milan Fashion Week, but Bologna is an important city for fashion, experimentation and new trends, and it is also the city where the Romani presence was recorded for the first time in Italy in the 15th century”. With ateliers and showrooms in Prato, the Maggini brand sells throughout Italy.
