Five worlds in one night

Fashion, glamour and show during the GIGLIO party 

Think about an early Summer night, a triumphant entry on a glittering carpet, a very special anchorman, designer dresses and world-famous couturiers. Mix everything in a shaker and you’ll have FIVE WORLDS IN ONE NIGHT , shows and fashion runways just in one night organized by the Giglio Group to present the collections for young people of D&G Dolce and Gabbana , Extè , Just Cavalli , Versus and Versace Jeans , GF Ferrè .

Five fashion moments performed by 25 models, and some male model, on ideal runways – tableau vivants  on psychedelic podiums and images of runway shows displayed on maxi-screens. Before that there had been jokes and musical performance on a one man show just for Giglio’s guests.

The showman Fiorello came with his band and the Sicilian comic characters Tommaso Accardo, of “Stasera, pago io”.

The eight thousand sq. meters of the Mediterranean fair were an unusual scenery.  The decorators of the Milan’s runway shows designed for the event a big stage a show room and a disco. “ Since the beginning we have had an enthusiastic receptions from the designers – tells Giuseppe Giglio, the manager of the group.

With this soirée we wanted Palermo to be launched in the international fashion events scene”. Even though the great of the fashion world still think of Milan, Rome, Florence as the real Italian capital of the fashion industry.  “Palermo and its young talent designers, can work for the fashion industry but we already have plenty of capital” says Santo Versace.

Sergio Ciucci and the fashion architect Gianfranco Ferrè were present. Domenico Dolce had been invited by the Giglios but he couldn’t come. Roberto Cavalli was the most creative and strenuous in spite of the hard work of the fashion shows in Milan. He was photographed with his fans many times, he joked with the models and later he enjoyed the disco. He opted for some cocktails rather than dancing.  “The evening have been a big success, even though it was organized quickly. That has been possible tanks the great competence of the Giglios” remarked the fashion designer.

Among the guests there were: Alba Parietti and Prince Giuseppe Lanza di Scalea,  one of the new couple of this Summer: the sexy Brazilian volleyball player Ana Paula Mancino and the blond Cico Paladino, the marketing advisor of the Cultural Heritage’s regional counsellor’s office Ferruccio Barbera. There were a lot of politicians such as: Palermo’s mayor Diego Cammarata w, his son Piero and his daughter Serena.

In the front row there were the president of Ittierre S.p.A.  and owner of the Diners Club Tonino Perna and the fashion photographer Marco Glaviano. Other guest were Shobba, the president of Amap Dario Allegra, Tommy and Paco Wirz. 

Freestyle bartenders served cocktails for everybody. The waitress, serving vol au vent served wore the party uniform: a miniskirt and a t-shirt designed for the occasion with the symbol of the five worlds.

The t-shirts were also given to each lady as a gift.
