SENATO VOICES 2026 Stories from Fashion & Design

What does desire mean today? What drives the impulse to create? How much passion lies behind a profession?

These questions are the starting point for SENATO VOICES – Stories from Fashion & Design, a new event dedicated to the dialogue between fashion, design and culture, created by Senato Hotel Milano in collaboration with Marie Claire and Marie Claire Maison.

On the occasion of Milan Fashion Week, from September 21 to 29, Senato’s courtyard becomes a space for encounters and conversation, bringing together different personalities and disciplines through stories, professional journeys and perspectives on the contemporary world.
SENATO VOICES is the first chapter of an editorial and cultural format conceived to evolve over time, creating new opportunities for dialogue around creativity, aesthetic research, innovation and lifestyle.

The setting for the conversations is created by Saba Italia with Oasi, the seating system designed by Robin Rizzini. An immersive and welcoming installation transforms the hotel courtyard into a contemporary salon, designed to encourage encounters and conversation.

Opening SENATO VOICES is Marco Sammicheli, curator and editor, in a conversation dedicated to design and the culture of design.

A first encounter that introduces the spirit of the series: exploring creativity through the experiences and journeys of those who help shape its contemporary language.

SEPTEMBER 24 — 5:00 PM

Fashion, imagery and design come together through the voices of Nathalie Jean, architect and jewelry designer; Gabrielle Caunesil, entrepreneur and content creator; and Sofia Masini, photographer.

Three perspectives and three different journeys exploring creativity, identity and the cross-pollinations shaping fashion, design and visual culture today.

SEPTEMBER 26 — 3:00 PM

SENATO VOICES continues with Robin Rizzini, industrial designer and creator of Oasi for Saba Italia, for a conversation exploring the relationship between form, function, research and design culture.

An encounter that places design at the heart of the conversation, exploring the processes through which an idea can take shape as an object, a space or an experience.
