London Show - 18th of April 2024

‘À TOUS LES DANDYS DE MON COEUR’

This Collection is my personal Love letter to the City of my heart, to her beauty and Recklessness, to all the beautiful creative souls that she shelters, to All the Dandies of London.

I was always attracted to anything that bursts out of frame, to the boldness and the courage that it takes to dare to be different and create ones own rules.

Without even giving too much attention to it, this desire for uniqueness drove me to London.

That was probably the strongest intuition I had in my life and still to this day, I knew something was waiting for me here.

And it was, they were. Or maybe I was waiting for them, my Dandies.

Nothing makes me more alive than seeing someone being truly themselves, radiating a true beauty and power that only they can draw limits to.

And from this beauty was born this collection.

I have found the legacy of the original Dandies from the XIXth century, but also the ones from the 80’s with the era of Glam Rock still so present in those streets, while being conscientious about it or not.

From Beau Brummell to Mick Jagger, I could see and still can see them everywhere, strutting the streets of Hackney or dancing until dawn at the Raves.

These Dandies live for the unapologetic beauty,  for the power of desire and being desired but also for the love and creation they share with each other.

I never truly understood the sense of community before moving to London.

This whole collection, this fantasy that I cherished in my mind for so long, could never have become a reality if it wasn’t for all the Love and Angels that surrounded me ever since I first stepped here two years ago.

I am and forever will be grateful for them.

The show that you are about to witness is the proof of this love and of it’s power.

I want to thank all my amazing friends who helped me give birth to this dream literally out of nothing but our creativity and hard work.

Particularly Issy and Roma who dreamed it with me from the beginning until we opened our eyes and saw all the beauty we created, the one we translated through the words of the city,

through the lips of my Dandies.

Yours Always,

Milla Giulia Badin
