Zurich has the power of creativity

This city is a revelation for its openness to the world, not only in terms of finance, but it equally captivates artists, designers, and fashion enthusiasts.

Zurich has a gallery, a design boutique, an emerging fashion talent on every street corner; a perfect blend of inspiring personalities with a taste for the finer things in life. The city’s international character and innovative drive give it an atmosphere akin to the world’s greatest fashion capitals. To this day, Zurich’s fashion novelties remain as exciting as ever, and its creative spirit is second to none – ideal for setting the scene for the new spring-summer fashions.

Digital News Fashion was delighted to attend the celebration and showcase of Couture Fashion Night 2.0 at The Dolder Grand and experience the magic of such an exceptional fashion evening firsthand.

Under the opulent ceilings of The Dolder Grand, Zürich played host to a landmark celebration of couture on the 5th of April: Couture Fashion Night 2.0. Curated by Zürich’s luxury lifestyle community Zurich.Influencers, and renowned designer Ketty Nunez, the evening fused Parisian glamour with Swiss elegance, establishing a new benchmark in the country’s high fashion calendar.

“With CFN, we wanted to bring the spirit of Paris and Milan to Zürich—an experience that merges luxury, creativity, and community,” says Ketty Nunez.

The Show

The show opened with stunning women’s collections by acclaimed Swiss designer Jean Luc Amsler known for his work at Dior, YSL, Cartier. This was immediately followed by the latest men’s collection by the renowned Italian fashion designer Carlo Pignatelli, celebrated for his luxurious formalwear and bridal collections (and also for his design of football uniform for the Italian national team).

Elena Meise with her brand Birds of Love known for its beautifully vibrant colors and exquisite designs enchanted the audience next. The beautiful Birds of Love clothes were complemented with glamorous jewelry from Time Deluxe, designed by Tatiana Melnik. Maria Rybicka, a famous Chinese brush painting artist presented her ethereal ‘Art to Wear’ collection of hand-painted silk kimonos next, each piece flowing like a living canvas. Then came the mother-daughter designer duo of Sanja Dajana Ilic from Sada Couture presenting their latest beautiful bridal haute couture collection and more.

The air buzzed with anticipation between each segment, as guests sipped champagne and whispered guesses about the next designer. Waves of admiration rippled through the crowd as each look swept down the runway. Phones rose in unison among the front-row elite, eager to capture the show’s most breathtaking moments for their followers.

The finale was done by none other than Ketty Nunez herself. Ketty has already presented at the most famous Fashion Weeks around the world. She concluded the night with a striking showcase of haute couture gowns, each a testament to refined tailoring, feminine silhouettes, and intricate embellishment. As a surprise bonus, she also unveiled her casual-chic new men’s line, yet to be officially launched. Applause echoed through the hall, blending seamlessly with the dramatic music and flashes of camera lights.
