The Secret Garden – Human edition 7

27 February, Florence

Original styles, imaginative transformations, a wish to change as seasons change. This is how the Elgon artistic team (Marco Girotti e I Dama) devised the looks of the 2011 collection, presented on February 27 in a fashion and trends show in Hilton Hotel in Florence. The audience was numerous and multinational in this event, with the participation of about 300 people. With the collection, also a mini-site will be launched (http://www.elgoncosmetic.com/thesecretgarden), to be informed about the new trends and behind the scenes tidbits.

The collection launch will be accompanied by the related video available on the web and Elgon’s social pages. The show was followed by the first two days of the Human 07 workshop unfolding these days. The workshops are an opportunity for the debut of the new prestigious location of the Florence Academy, which will soon have a mini-site with a photo gallery to show all its potentials.
The participants were charmed by the style and sophisticated design of the new location, making these days a symbol of the celebration of Elgon‘s spirit, in the forefront of elegance and expression.
The success of these training days is confirmed also by the high number of registrations received for the Human 07 workshop, leading to the scheduling of a third date.
