Once a year, Grimilde Malatesta and Cunene join forces to offer their combined abilities to lucky customers from all over the world.
A one of a kind costume is chosen for each participant, according to the theme and their measurement, to make sure the dress enhances each one’s individual and unique features. Then the model is styled by GM, then guided into posing for Cunene’s photography.
Each edition comes with a different theme, and some customers have even started collecting portraits from all editions!
The event recurs once a year, held in Voghera or MaserĂ  di Padova, with dates announced through our social media profiles.

Blooming options
This setting allow us to be more efficient and keep the experience more available. Works like an assembly line: Grimilde dresses and styles the next model, while Cunene shoots the previous. You have only one styling choice: you pick the theme among the available one, we create a character and a styling that highlights you. We ask you to trust our vision and our experience on what we can achieve.

Wunderkammer (precious stones) options
These options are our “high end” ones. You get the studio all for yourself, and both the artists will assist you during the whole time. Your photos will be edited first, and upon request you can have a second styling/dress choice.
