With the presentation of his latest collection, “Unveiled Dreams”, Mendoza reaffirmed his vision: to create luxury eveningwear that is not just worn, but truly experienced. At the historic Chiostri di San Barnaba, under the visionary direction of Kasia Stefanow for Satisfashion Milano, Mendoza’s collection delivered a celebration of couture at its finest. Ethereal fabrics, sculptural silhouettes, and intricate details came together in garments that blurred the line between fashion and art.

Each piece was more than clothing—it was an experience of beauty, mystery, and power, crafted for women who embody elegance and individuality. Mendoza’s brand was born from a singular philosophy: true luxury is timeless, exclusive, and deeply personal. Every gown is conceived as a work of art, meticulously crafted to celebrate women who exude confidence, grace, and an appreciation for the rare. “I don’t design dresses,” he has often remarked. “I design experiences of beauty, moments of power, and expressions of individuality.” From the heart of Malta to the global stage of Milano Fashion Week, Woman Start World proudly joined forces with an international creative team to celebrate artistry, resilience, and the empowerment of women through fashion.

Our Project Manager, Carmin Martinez, had the honor of opening the runway show, stepping into Mendoza’s vision as the first to bring Unveiled Dreams to life before an international audience. This moment was brought to life by an extraordinary team of creatives: Antonio Iengo, hairstylist, whose work framed each look with elegance and strength Elisabet Casany, make-up artist and photographer, shaping expressions of bold femininity and capturing it all through the lens with timeless precision—proof of how collaboration transforms fashion into storytelling

While we await the official release of the catwalk photography, we’re excited to share a glimpse behind the scenes—backstage moments that reflect the energy, dedication, and artistry of this remarkable team. What makes this showcase remarkable isn’t just the debut of an emerging designer—it’s the shared belief that men like Roberto Mendoza are elevating fashion by celebrating women, not merely dressing them. Together, they remind us that when talent travels, creativity transcends borders, carrying Malta’s voice far beyond Mediterranean shores. As a magazine built on women’s empowerment, Woman Start World is honored to witness and spotlight this vision—where artistry, diversity, and collaboration come together to shape the future of fashion.
