Spring/Summer 2026
For Spring Summer 2026, Gabriele Colangelo looks to Florence’s Boboli Gardens as an emotional landscape. The collection imagines how the stillness of a Renaissance garden can slip into modern life. Peonies surface as fragments of chiffon and raffia, their forms stretched into elongated silhouettes that balance delicacy with structure. The clothes seem designed to quiet the world, creating a sense of interior calm.
Ink drawings become prints and embroideries, their irregular lines reinterpreting petals and foliage. Chiffon layered with fine raffia is later subtracted by hand, leaving devoré patterns that feel both patient and intricate. White dresses carry faint floral tracings, while sharper black-on-white contrasts add definition. These botanical motifs shift into rounded resin necklaces and brooches that echo sculptural objects shaped by hand.
Instead of bags, models carry the Andi coat, a house signature updated with a higher front slit. Transparent layers, precise cuts, pointed knit boots, and fringed slides reinforce a tempered minimalism. The mood is one of quiet progression, an expansion of the house’s vocabulary.
Shown at the Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan, the collection continues GIADA’s exploration of the space where classical culture meets contemporary craft, reaffirming its commitment to an “Art to Art” vision.
