The creative designers at '[AMO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-show-space)' constructed a series metallic and golden archways that provide the backdrop for Miu Miu's latest [womenswear presentation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow). This unique scene was erected at the Palais D’iéna.

In order to create these golden archways, the design team worked around the existing and architecturally exquisite building. The serpent-like arches rise high above the runway and fall to the ground on opposite sides. The [reflective materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue) emphasize each piece of clothing that is worn during the fashion show.

The audience is encouraged to pay close attention to each piece of clothing, which could disappear behind a gilded arch at any point during the show. By creating a highly interactive and unique display, AMO excites viewers while simultaneously providing a playful set for Miu Miu's models.
