The 75th edition of the Sanremo Italian Song Festival has officially begun, an event that also marks the start of a real “Sanremo Fashion Week”. After revealing the stylists who will accompany the participants over the five evenings, the time has come for fans to discover the fashion brands that have helped the artists shine on the Ariston stage. This edition, which kicked off after a successful five-year period under the guidance of Amadeus, was inaugurated by Carlo Conti, who brought with him a sober but indisputable refinement. With a “The accounts add up and I’m back in Sanremo”, the Florentine host kicked off the 2025 Festival, reconfirming his role in this event that remains one of the most followed in the country.
Sanremo is not just music, but also fashion, and the singers have given life to a real stylistic clash, between sequins, transparencies and minimal lines. The opening night saw an impeccable Carlo Conti in a midnight blue velvet tuxedo with black details, designed by Stefano Ricci. The competition started with Gaia Gozzi, who chose a dress by Dilara Findikoglu, accompanied by styling by Alba Melendo. The Italian-Brazilian singer's look included a nude-toned corset with filaments of fabric that fell on the shoulders, completed by showy jewelry and a natural beauty look by Lancôme, of which Gozzi is an ambassador.
