Garda Fashion Week returns to the Sestino Fronte Lago in Desenzano del Garda with two Saturdays of runway shows, dinner and music: Saturday 10 October and Saturday 17 October 2026, from 8 pm. It is a lakefront dinner show with set tables and sparkling wine, built around the theme «Creare, Costruire, Tramandare» (“Create, Build, Pass On”): fashion seen as design and craftsmanship.
To book a table, call the Sestino on +39 329 2472452.
Programme for Saturday 10 October
The runway opens with Monica Effe, offering fashion and elegance for all ages. Next comes Fabiola Melodugno, with made-to-measure dresses and attention to detail, followed by Roberta Le Particulier and her Swarovski Star creation. Daniela Dama a Pois closes the evening with dresses reinterpreted in an Oriental style.
Programme for Saturday 17 October
On Saturday 17 October the runway features the collection by Giusy Store and the creations of Raffaella Ballarini, dedicated to elegance, grace and femininity. Also on the programme are Stelian Mosor, with his own vision of elegance, and Giovanni Manichini in Movimento, who treats fashion as personal expression.
Direction and the designers’ prize
Direction and coordination are in the hands of Angela Cannata, together with Raffaella Ballarini. The show is organised by Angela Mirò, with videos by Lorenzo Bruni. On stage, Leo Lionel hosts the evening, with music from Paola Peroni DJ, live violin by Matteo Procopio and vocals by Sabrina Mugnai.
The Sestino is run by owner Puccio Gallo and Yudi Bueno, with artistic direction by Jerry Calà. The prize for the designers is a miniature reproduction of «Inside Two Sails», the artwork by Walter Xausa installed on the Desenzano lakefront.
