The city is buzzing. We’re arriving at show location, Fondazione Sozanni, which is typical of Milanese architecture. Industrial and modern, but with allure and elegance - very well suited for MERODA.

Backstage is filling up fast, with models, dancers, influencers and crew flying around. It’s always super hectic, but contradictorily enough, everyone felt quite calm. MERODA-calm before the show-storm, it felt like.

The part where it gets serious.The whole team is in hyperfocus on walking through the final adjustments to make this show roll perfectly.

Seeing the full look come together - always a goosebump moment.

The fashion and beauty look are perfectly coordinated: modern and minimalistic, yet still feminine and elegant.

Models walk, turn, repeat. Everyone’s getting into the rhythm. There is something magical about seeing MERODA come to life for this big show... It's really going to happen.

Last checks & adjustments. The final mists of setting spray drifting through the air. MERODA-goodiebags in line for all front row guests.

In between it all, Romee is sharing her Milano moment with the biggest Dutch reality talkshow, RTL Boulevard, on camera. Of course in her MERODA-bathrobe!

The clock is ticking away its final moments. We do our team cheer and take a few deep breaths...

… And then Romee walks. So strong, confident, and naturally gorgeous.

And just like that, it’s done. MERODA took the world's biggest fashion stage by storm.

A feeling of pride fills the room - and everybody knows: this is just the beginning.
