Froy Club SS22 presentation 

It's always a busy time in Italy during Fashion Week. And of course, HAY-HAY was in Milan to capture all the details. We attended the “Made in Armenia” runway show which was part of the programme "Textile Alliance Armenia-Italy". The eight emerging Armenian designers were selected in collaboration with Emerging Talents Milan and the Fashion and Design Chamber of Armenia.
