At the heart of this extraordinary alliance was a visit to the enchanting Casa Fornasetti in Milan, which has been publicly released through a teaser video posted by Heart Evangelista on her Instagram account. Casa Fornasetti is a grand house museum built in the late 19th century by Piero Fornasetti's father in Milan's Città Studi neighborhood.

In this artistic sanctuary, Opulence Design Concept, Heart Evangelista, and Barnaba Fornasetti converged to craft a new chapter in the annals of opulent design. This collaboration marks the first time that Fornasetti has ever entered into an international partnership with a celebrity and allowed a shoot to take place at the grand house museum of the Fornasetti family.

Here are three reasons why Heart Evangelista is the perfect Fornasetti Ambassador:

1. Heart is an artist herself

Artistry is at the heart of the Fornasetti brand, and Heart Evangelista's creative talents make her the perfect match. As an accomplished artist, Heart is no stranger to the world of creativity and expression. Her artwork has graced galleries and social media feeds alike, showcasing her unique style and innate ability to infuse her personality into her work. The blend of Heart's artistry with Fornasetti's iconic designs promises to be a marriage of two artistic powerhouses that will surely create pieces of exceptional beauty.

2. Heart has been Fornasetti for a long time

Heart Evangelista's love for Fornasetti is not a newfound passion ignited by this collaboration. She has been a devoted collector and enthusiast of Fornasetti for years, displaying an impeccable understanding and appreciation of the brand's intricate designs and timeless allure. This connection is not merely a business venture; it's a genuine love story between Heart and Fornasetti, making her the ideal advocate for the brand's unique creations.

3. Heart is an internationally recognized celebrity

Heart Evangelista's name is synonymous with luxury, grace, style, and sophistication. Her international recognition as a fashion icon and celebrity adds a global touch to the collaboration, expanding the reach of Fornasetti's distinctive designs. Heart's captivating presence in the fashion world, coupled with her unique artistic sensibilities, makes her the perfect ambassador to introduce Fornasetti's enchanting creations to a wider, international audience.

Apart from describing Casa Fornasetti as “a magical place where imagination meets design,” Heart Evangelista additionally wrote in the caption of her post, “Opulence Design Concept gave me the opportunity to visit the heart of the Fornasetti archive and immerse myself in an alluring world full of art and decor. My journey with Opulence and Fornasetti has just started. Stay tuned for more details soon.”
