Polimoda is a prestigious private fashion school in Florence that is helmed by Ferruccio Ferragamo and is considered the top design school in Italy. To receive a degree, final year students are required to develop their own collection and present to the public at the annual fashion show that occurs during the world famous Pitti fashion week. Polimoda’s 2019 fashion show featured the memorable work of 22 talented young designers, who showcased their work to hundreds of guests and international industry insiders at the former tobacco-factory-turned-event-hall Manifattura Tabacchi. The runway was tucked inside the concrete open space of the industrial multipurpose venue and once the show began, the fluidity of the techno-primitive music that was well-coordinated with the Supernature theme, raised vibrations and made hearts beat faster. 

Through the use of video, computer animation and advanced audio systems which were provided by K-array, the audience experienced a supernatural immersive reality and sensory overload. To overcome the reverberation in the acoustically-challenging factory venue, 3 Pinnacle-KR402 portable systems were lined along the runway. The columns featuring Pure Array Technology provided a narrow dispersion on the vertical plane to provide a long throw and avoid ceiling reverberation. The modular capabilities of the systems were highlighted when one of the KR402 was switched with its 18" Thunder-KMT18 subwoofers for 2 Thunder-KMT21 21" subs to provide an even more powerful low end for the bass-filled playlist.
