Miniconf fashion show.

The “Happy Birthday Miniconf!” Fashion Show

Founded in 1973 by Cavaliere del Lavoro Giovanni Basagni, Miniconf is
an Italian multi-brand & multi-channel company. The company celebrated
its 50th birthday with a fashion show featuring the ss24 collections
of the brands iDO, Sarabanda, Superga Kidswear and Ducati. It featured
several upcoming trends in childrenswear.

Well Suited

Tailored separates that mimic styles found in the women’s and men’s
markets looked clean and fresh, working well for special occasions.

Sarabanda

A two-piece suit in lime green with a shawl collared jacket and
matching side zip pants.

A variegated striped blazer with a matching vest and bowtie with white
pants and a blue shirt.

iDo

Pinstriped cotton three-piece suits in beige/white and blue/white with
two-button blazers, matching vests and pants.

A bright red blazer over a matching top and white pants.

Fancy Dress

Traditional looking party dresses, often in layers of silk, satin,
tulle and floral prints, never go out of style. They are appropriate
for first communion, weddings and other ceremonial occasions.

Sarabanda

A pale blue dress with a lace bodice over layers of tulle with a
high-low hemline.

A pale pink sleeveless satin tank over a layered tulle mini-skirt with
a ruffled waistline.

coral petticoat with matching cummerbund.

Be a good sport

Sporty looks borrowed from the athletic market make great weekend gear.

Ducati

A two-piece shell suit with a retro feel: a black jacket with white
stripes and patches with matching joggers over a logo tee shirt.

Superga

Coral colored joggers and a matching screen tee under a pink zip up
sweatshirt with a paisley print.

iDo

A hooded sweatshirt and matching shorts in an all-over multi-colored
pop art/anime print.

Keep it casual

A category of clothing that bridges the gap between smart and
athletic. Casual enough for the weekends, but smart enough to visit
the grandparents.

An orange tee with butterfly sleeves trimmed with ricrac and a
pieced-in graphic print skirt.

A button-up blouse with short cuffed sleeves and matching trousers in
a brown, black and beige tie-dye print.

cargo pocket pants.

grey and white print shirt.
