FALL/WINTER 2025 VOL.2 COLLECTION Between a painting and a gown; An art gallery and a salon; The baroque and a canister of spray paint; A piece of furniture and a sculpture; The ideals and the practice

A chance encounter on a misty London evening over aperitifs sparked a creative fusion between
Francesco Risso, Olaolu Slawn, and Soldier Boyfriend. Hailing from disparate corners of the world,
their meeting ignited The Pink Sun, a month-long artist residency where the trio converged in a
shared studio, blending opulent historical influences with the urgent, unfiltered energy of
underground culture.

The Salon—a moment that transcends the confines of the studio—brings this ethos to life within
Marni’s FW25 collection. Our home, transformed into a living canvas, layers the past, present, and
future of Marni into one singular expression. Within these walls, the creative process unfolds in the
same exuberant spirit of that initial communion—underscored by the smoky atmosphere of a
Milanese cafe, complemented with MARTINI vermouth spritzes. The Salon represents our
unwavering dedication to craft, marrying the Marni we first glimpsed and the Marni we have since
shaped, cherished, and reimagined. A continuous evolution, sculpted by the hands of many,
designed to be treasured and preserved

Presented as a dynamic fable, the show is a celebration of the transformative power of the
creative process, joyously disrupting the boundaries between form and essence: a wolf’s hide
morphs into a finely tailored suit, flowers bloom from satin dresses, tufts of fur cascade from
garments, like a creature from a fantastical storybook. This body of work is seamlessly woven into
everyday life, yet infused with the fantasies of three artists’ boundless creativity. Dare to dream

Welcome to The Pink Sun.
