A0 24 MODERATE is the inaugural release from the Domenico Orefice brand, drawing inspiration from the fundamental grade of climbing in Alpinism, known for its free climbing passages. This collection embodies a vertical journey that explores the interaction between humanity and nature, symbolizing the delicate balance between the innate desire for escape and a need for protection.
I am extremely grateful and proud to be nominated by Polimoda to showcase my latest collection on a global platform such as Dubai Fashion Week. A0 24 MODERATE is not just a collection, it’s an exploration of boundaries and a celebration of unity. In today’s ever-shifting reality, a delicate balance exists between opposing elements: the human and the urban, the natural and the digital. Each piece in the A0 24 MODERATE collection serves as both a protective shell for navigating these realms and a vehicle for boundary-free exploration. We look forward to sharing our vision with the world.
