EMILIA WICKSTEAD X PASSALACQUA
Emilia Wickstead and Passalacqua, a unique 18th-century villa on the shores of Lake Como — recently recognised as The World’s Best Hotel — have collaborated on an exclusive, limited-edition vacation-wear capsule collection. Passalacqua, one of Lake Como’s most spectacular private homes, opened its doors in June as a 24-suite retreat following three years of restoration. Standing above the village of Moltrasio, with seven acres of terraced gardens sweeping down to the lake’s shore, this 18th century Villa is steeped in history, having played host to some of the world’s most brilliant minds in music, literature, art and politics from Napoleon Bonaparte to Bellini to Winston Churchill. Passalacqua is the passion project of one of Italy’s leading hoteliers – the De Santis family, owners of the iconic Grand Hotel Tremezzo.
