Faithful to the aesthetic sense of the Couture, Michele Miglionico’s style is luxurious and  refined, rigorous but not minimal, sober and aristocratic, thought for a sosphisticated and cosmopolitan woman. A woman with a thin, fluid and female silhouette, with a refined sensuality. A good mix of modern romanticism and classicism. Beloved colours: white, black and scarlet red.
