Elisabeth Schwaiger, who has been Head of Design for Laurel since 1995, was also present acknowledging the rapturous applause for the beautiful designs she was showing – simple, elegant and beautifully crafted.
Elizabeth Schwaiger also posed with the 16 year old British soul singer and TV presenter Dionne Bromfield.
MSGM di Massimo Giorgetti was first to show his designs, followed by Marco de Vincenzo and then Angelos Bratis who said that his inspiration amongst other things came from the Indie music he listened to. Mila Schön siad that her designs emphaised the femininity of women and featured many flowing designs with eye catching pattern and pretty colours.
Musical entertainment was provided by the Swiss band Pegasus from Biel who performed three of their numbers to an enthusiastic audience. A great band, they sang in English and seemed a very friendly bunch as they mingled with the crowd at the after the show.
