We’ve wrapped up Milan Design Week! Here’s what inspired the team this year…

Across the city, the strongest work shared a common thread: design that asked us to slow down and look more closely.

From Berto’s sculptural glasswork to Motong Yang’s modular ritual objects; Sancal’s playful installation to Iranzo’s delicate netted forms and Studio Lugo’s raw metal pieces.

Materiality was doing more than just setting the tone, but carrying feel, process and story.

This year’s standout moments celebrated tactility, imperfection and craft – with traditional techniques reworked for a more curious, human and emotionally resonant design language.

Thank you, Milan.

SS28 activewear is rooted in connection – physical, emotional, and interpersonal.

As activewear shifts closer to everyday life, colour grounds us in nature, community, and supporting more intuitive ways to live and move:

→ Burnt henna brings warmth and earth-led stability, anchoring performance in nature
→ Citrus essence delivers sharp energy, signalling vitality, visibility, and forward motion
→ Georgia peach softens the palette with optimism, human connection, and ease

Together, these shades reflect a more adaptive, responsive wardrobe – one that moves seamlessly between sport, lifestyle, and the outdoors.

Our SS28 Activewear Report breaks down the colours, materials, and product directions shaping this shift, giving you clear, retail-ready insight for the seasons ahead.

The suit will be defined by everyday ease for AW27/28 🧢

At Pitti Uomo, The Japan Walk repositioned the suit as a daily uniform, stripped of performance and no longer reserved for special occasions. Here is how that will look in practice:

➡️Dressing for ease, not for show

Relaxed tailoring, casual fabrications and undone styling rework suiting for daily wear.

➡️Softened looks

Soft structure, enriched layers and lived-in character make tailoring feel less rigid, more instinctive and easier to wear.

➡️Attention to craft

Vintage influence, burnished finishes and deconstructed details bring process, patina and craftsmanship to the forefront.

Fashion Month made one thing clear: dressing up is back ➡️

From bold layering, architectural silhouettes, and expressive styling on the runway to behind-the-scenes glimpses of garment-making off it, fashion is reasserting its identity.

As minimalism softens, consumers are reconnecting with clothing as ritual, expression, and intention – and brands are responding with stronger points of view.

One theme dominated New York’s runways: Modern armour.

From Ralph Lauren to Altuzarra and Diotima, protective detailing took centre stage – multiple buttons, corsetry cues and hardware fastenings sharpening silhouettes across the catwalk, signalling a need for armour in uncertain times.

And this direction is set to endure well beyond AW26.

By AW27/28, detailing becomes explicitly protective – buttons multiply, corsetry reworks tailoring, and hardware feels ritualistic rather than decorative. Elongated wrapped forms and armour-like constructions balance softness with protection, grounding femininity in strength.

In a climate where identity is self-authored and clothing becomes a tool for rebellion and resilience, armour shifts from aesthetic to attitude. Structure meets sensuality. Power becomes personal.

Consumers are craving clothes that feel real ➡️

For SS27, womenswear moves closer to the hand, prioritising touch, craft and material honesty over surface impact. Soft layers, crushed fabrics and hand-finished details bring emotion and longevity back into design.

Our SS27 Womenswear Report explores this return to craft across fabric direction, trims, details and product capsules.

New year, new outlook ➡️

2026 marks a moment of recalibration. Not louder trends, but clearer priorities. As pressure, pace and choice overload continue to shape behaviour, brands are being evaluated on their substance and ability to make consumers feel something.

What matters now is how products earn their place in everyday life, through meaning, emotional intelligence and longevity.

These shifts don’t signal a single direction, but a sharper way forward.

The festive season is starting to look a little different ➡️

Consumers want pieces that transform a moment, heighten emotion, and express their identity.

This is the era of big, bold expression.

That’s why conventional cuts are being reworked:

→ Common lines are stretched and expanded
→ Shapes push hyper-masculine or hyper-feminine extremes
→ Ballooned volumes make a powerful entrance

The home is set to become a powerful space for emotional and physical regulation in the AW27/28 season.

As high levels of technology use amplify a constant feeling of surveillance and overconnectivity, consumers are increasingly tiring of ‘always on’ culture. The home is one of the few spaces where they can regroup and regenerate.

Home design, therefore, will increasingly focus on reconnecting consumers with their senses to create spaces that genuinely support resilience and calm.

Think:
→ Connection to nature
→ Intentional objects
→ Analogue experiences

Outerwear in AW26/27 is all about silhouettes with impact.

Common shapes are amplified, padding becomes architectural, and classic forms are pushed into new territory.

Rooted in our seasonal macro theme, Renaissance of Real, this shift reflects growing consumer demand for tactility and emotional connection by challenging traditional forms and stirring the senses.

As AW26/27 decisions close in, we’re offering an exclusive preview of our cold-weather reports.
