Walking in a history-making show at the Galleria would give any person jitters, but Cardi is a seasoned fashion professional. Back in 2023, she made her runway debut in Balenciaga’s pre-fall 2024 show in Los Angeles, where she traipsed down a Hancock Park street, enveloped in a blue oversized furry coat.

While Cardi’s colorful Versace look highlights Italian maximalism, it also carries a deeper meaning: Donatella’s spring 2018 collection paid tribute to her late brother, Gianni, surrounding the 20th anniversary of his death. For the occasion, Donatella delved into her brother’s archives, reinterpreting some of his most legendary looks—including his pop-culture-inspired spring 1991 collection. Now it’s appeared in the first-ever fashion show at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
