Mariacarla Boscono teams with K-Way for 360-degree collab
Italian model, mom, and fashion muse Mariacarla Boscono has always been a force to be reckoned with. And her most recent collaboration with Parisian designer K-Way—for which she served as designer, artistic director, photographer, and brand endorser—further proves it. Since the start of her esteemed career, which includes gigs with Riccardo Tisci, Donatella Versace, Pierpaolo Piccioli, and more, Boscono has always been an omnipresent force in Italian fashion. Now, some 25 years later, she’s stepped into the role of designer. The capsule, which was inspired by the outdoors and the relationship between mother and daughter, features a zip-up swimsuit with UPF 50 protection, a waterproof jacket, bodysuits for young girls, accessories, and leggings. Boscono also photographed and art-directed the campaign—starring her daughter!—on her favorite secluded island.
