In an intimate and unforgettable evening, Ani Alvarez Calderon joined forces with Beneai Collective for a private presentation inside the sleek confines of The Elle Residences in Lima. Guests were welcomed into an unexpected setting — a living, breathing runway that wound its way through the contemporary offices of the Elle Residences building. Instead of a traditional catwalk, models moved effortlessly between workspaces and glass corridors, inviting attendees to experience the collection in motion, up close and personal.

The night unveiled a harmonious dialogue between heritage and modernity, as Kene and Iskonawa pieces took center stage. Each design celebrated intricate ancestral patterns, artisanal craftsmanship, and a rich cultural narrative, reimagined through Ani Alvarez Calderon’s refined, contemporary lens. Bold silhouettes and fluid fabrics seemed to dance with the ambient light, while the movement of the models brought the garments to life — a tactile reminder that these creations are meant to be lived in, not merely observed.

It was more than a fashion show; it was an experiential journey. The air was charged with the hum of conversation, the whisper of textiles brushing past, and the palpable pride of honoring Peru’s cultural legacy through design. By the end of the evening, it was clear: this was a collection not just worn, but felt — a meeting point of tradition, artistry, and modern sophistication.

MAC Cosmetics joined us with two talented makeup artists, who styled each model with striking looks that perfectly enhanced the collection.
