The appointment with Vintage Fashion returns on October 14, 2022 with a selection of particularly glamorous lots.
What makes the proposal of the department special again, after the great success achieved with actress Valentina Cortese’s wardrobe, is the presentation of haute couture garments coming from two important collections: the private one of Alba Figueras de la Parte, founder of the luxury vintage fashion marketplace Her-Age and the exclusive one of a Piedmontese noblewoman.
Alba Figueras de la Parte, co-founder since 2020 of Her-Age, luxury recommerce with NFT authentication, now entrusts Il Ponte with her private collection with the aim of promoting the encouragement of increasingly eco-sustainable purchases in which the great names, timeless par excellence, can be put back into the market circuit and reused while maintaining charm, allure and elegance intact.
