The first will be the natural amphitheater of the Neptune Fountain. This magical area with its metaphysical echoes will be the setting for the fashion show (to be held only in Florence) featuring the Raf Simons 2006 Spring-Summer collection _ Raf Simons S/S 2006.

The next will be the newly restored Limonaia by Zanobi del Rosso (a glasshouse of the 18th century). The 150 meter long lemon house will host a multiple video-installation, featuring images especially created for this event and showing all facets of his visual lexicon _ Raf Simons Repeat.

Finally, the first monograph dedicated to Raf Simons will be presented with a special set up. Through images and text the book covers his entire, complex and fascinating career _ Raf Simons Redux.
