COLLECTION CEREMONY
Maison Manon Gontero reaffirms its commitment to women.
For its new collection, fashion joins forces with the performing arts,
where each dress becomes a living performance, revealing elegance, character, and freedom.
The designer pays tribute to artists who, through dance, theater, or circus,
have made their bodies a language and their art a force.
Through them, the House dedicates this collection to all women,
so that every bride can become an actress on her big day.
