On a February evening, Monaco slipped into the rhythm of celebration. At the Hôtel Méridien, tradition and modernity converged for the Chinese New Year Gala organised by the Mona Chine association and Monaco Dragon Prestige.
This intriguing event is where symbolism, diplomacy, and elegance share the same stage. At the heart of the night stood AMC Haute Couture, transforming the gala into a canvas of timeless style.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Monégasque maison presented an exclusive collection of ten silhouettes designed for both women and men. Each look whispered refinement while confidently embracing presence.
Under the artistic direction of Master Tailor Angela Petrulli, the collection unfolded. Cotton from Saint-Gall, sumptuous velvets, and noble textiles shaped silhouettes. Feminine forms expressed a structured grace, while masculine lines conveyed controlled strength.
The runway moment arrived after a welcoming cocktail, the ceremonial dragon dance symbolizing prosperity, and a four-course gastronomic experience. When the lights shifted and the first model stepped forward, the audience was no longer simply attending a gala they were witnessing craftsmanship in motion.
Several creations carried an additional layer of significance. Previously unveiled at the World Federation of Master Tailors Congress in South Korea, these designs were revealed to the Monégasque public for the very first time. Their presence underscored AMC Haute Couture’s international reach.
Beyond the runway, the house’s influence extended to notably dressing Miss Côte d’Azur 2025, finalist of Miss France 2025.
Captured through the lens of photographer Saverio Chiappalone, the evening now lives on in images that echo emotion, precision, and movement.
More than a fashion presentation, AMC Haute Couture’s tailoring remains an art. Heritage and innovation can coexist, and elegance transcends time, trends, and occasion.
Founded in 1996 by Angela and Giovanni Petrulli, AMC Haute Couture, on this Chinese New Year night in Monaco, reminded everyone present that true luxury is not merely seen, it is felt.
