In the historic setting of Pézenas (South of France), the charity evening “Mode et Art,” organized by the Fashion Week Occitanie association and led by the visionary Rosa Addabbo, celebrates a remarkable fusion of Haute Couture and generosity. Rooted in a rich Italian heritage, Rosa Addabbo has brilliantly carried her passion for fashion to Occitanie. By founding the ESDMI (Higher Institute of Italian Design and Fashion), she sets the stage for an exceptional evening, marking a turning point in the regional fashion industry.

On July 4th, at the majestic Château Saint-Martin de Graves in Pézenas, the evening goes beyond showcasing luxury and creativity; it supports a noble cause: aiding the Montpellier Cancer Institute (ICM) in its fight against cancer in children. With a mission to fund a companion robot, the proceeds will help transform moments of anxiety into periods of comfort, providing vital emotional support to young patients. This one-of-a-kind evening will highlight the talent of renowned Italian designer Pina Grasso, feature international model Jenny Di Marco, and benefit from Lou Jones’s expertise as the fashion show’s artistic director. With the crucial support of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, this event promises to be a highlight.
However, “Mode et Art” is more than just a charity evening. It foreshadows the launch of a major project: Fashion Week Occitanie 2025. Envisioned as an unparalleled platform of creativity, this fashion week aims to bring together international and visionary creators, positioning Occitanie as a global fashion hub while continuing a legacy of solidarity.
Rosa Addabbo and Fashion Week Occitanie demonstrate that fashion, beyond an aesthetic celebration, can be a driving force for social change, offering hope and support to the most vulnerable.
