A Night of Elegance: Zürich Welcomes Couture Fashion Night 2.0 at The Dolder Grand

By Zurich.Influencers & Ketty Nunez | Edited by Luxe Magazine Switzerland

Beneath the chandeliers of the legendary Dolder Grand in Zürich, the second edition of Couture Fashion Night (CFN) 2.0 unfolded on April 5th, offering a rare fusion of Swiss sophistication and Parisian haute couture. Orchestrated by Zurich.Influencers and the acclaimed designer Ketty Nunez, the evening was a seamless blend of art, fashion, and elegance ushering Zürich into the international spotlight of high fashion.

“With CFN, our ambition was to bring the spirit of Paris and Milan to Zürich merging luxury, creativity, and community,” shared Ketty Nunez.

The Show: A Journey Through Couture Excellence

The evening commenced with captivating creations by legendary Swiss designer Jean Luc Amsler, whose legacy includes collaborations with Dior, YSL, and Cartier. His refined womenswear set the tone for a night of sartorial excellence.

He was followed by the Italian master of masculine elegance, Carlo Pignatelli, presenting his latest menswear collection an embodiment of tailored precision and iconic formalwear, beloved by grooms and celebrities alike.

Next on stage was the effervescent energy of Birds of Love, the brand founded by Elena Meise, renowned for its vibrant hues and flowing silhouettes. The looks were elevated by Time Deluxe jewelry, a glamorous collection crafted by designer Tatiana Melnik.

The runway then transformed into a living gallery with artist Maria Rybicka’s collection of hand-painted silk kimonos each piece a poetic ode to traditional Chinese brush painting, reimagined as “Art to Wear.”

The romantic atmosphere continued with Sanja & Dajana Ilic, the mother-daughter duo behind Sada Couture, unveiling their breathtaking bridal haute couture creations that blended timelessness with modern sensuality.

As anticipation swelled between each presentation, guests sipped on champagne, exchanging whispered predictions while cameras waited in anticipation. Phones rose in near-synchrony as each model made her entrance, with admiration visibly sweeping the room.

The finale was presented by none other than Ketty Nunez herself. A regular name at fashion weeks in Paris, Milan, Berlin, New York, and Dubai, Nunez closed the evening with a powerful display of haute couture gowns romantic silhouettes, intricate beadwork, and masterful tailoring. As a surprise encore, she introduced a sneak peek of her yet-to-launch men’s line, which received an enthusiastic ovation.

The Music: An Evening Set to Live Elegance

Throughout the night, the fashion was beautifully punctuated by musical performances from celebrated talents, including Bernarda Brunovic Eurovision finalist and The Voice of Germany sensation as well as the award-winning soprano Svetlana Andreeva, recognized as the “Artist of Ukraine.” Their voices captivated an audience of over 350 guests, both local and international.

The Guestlist: A Touch of Glamour and Influence

The evening was graced by some of Switzerland’s most recognizable personalities. Laura Bircher, current Miss Universe Switzerland, and Dennis Marbacher, from The Bachelor Switzerland, both took to the runway as guest models for Ketty Nunez. Influencers, fashion insiders, and luxury aficionados mingled with effortless grace in the historic halls of The Dolder Grand.

Luxury Exhibition: A Celebration Beyond the Catwalk

Beyond the runway, CFN 2.0 featured a curated luxury exhibition, showcasing handpicked premium brands. Highlights included:

Madeleine Chocolatier, creators of the official CFN chocolate
Amaro, Swiss haute parfumerie
Sette Donna, the luxury lifestyle magazine for women
Nama Swiss, consultants for Dubai luxury properties

Looking Ahead: CFN 3.0 Autumn 2025
