Reflecting on history filled with events of all sorts, the insights of Pier Paolo Pasolini and his influence by fireflies during the war, the philosophy of art historian Georges Didi-Huberman, Alessandro Michele created a collection with a story laying in every detail. Fashion, in this poetic reading, becomes a quiet revolutionary: revealing hidden light, igniting imagination, and resisting sameness.
With looks for both men and women, the Spring Summer 2026 ready-to-wear collection unraveled under the name of “Fireflies”. Neck-bows and ties made a remarkable appearance along the way with their different designs and sizes as fluid tailoring, sheer layers, and thin silks were sculpted into silhouettes that feel both weightless and intentional. A muted palette of parchment whites, soft siennas, and mineral greens lets texture and movement take center stage, while delicate embroidery and sculptural cut-outs evoke a sense of worn-in luxury and modern grace.
