PRE-OWNED

For one evening in October, something rather special moves into the Palazzo. Ana Gimeno Brugada and Bettina Oldenburg arrive from Milan with a private selection of pre-owned pieces from their own world of fashion — clothes and accessories collected, worn, loved and now ready for their next chapter. 

Ana and Bettina have spent years inside the fashion industry, but their real signature is perhaps the way they wear it: instinctively, irreverently and with a brilliant disregard for the rules. Print with print. Menswear with vintage. Strange proportions. Serious pieces worn without taking them too seriously. Their style has made them familiar faces outside the shows in Milan and Paris, photographed together by the likes of Vogue and international street-style photographers for their unmistakable way of putting things together. 

For PRE-OWNED, they bring a tightly curated private collection to the Palazzo, made up exclusively of exceptional pieces from houses including Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Dries Van Noten, Chanel, Marni, Miu Miu and Jil Sander.

Not a vintage market. Not a conventional pop-up.

A chance to step inside Ana and Bettina’s edit — to browse pieces chosen through years of looking, travelling, working and dressing differently.

Try something you might never normally try. Ask them how they’d wear it. Find a piece with a life before yours.

And perhaps give it another one.
