Magliano sets sail for its Spring/Summer 2026 collection
No runway in Milan for the young label Magliano this season, but instead a short film titled Maglianic, orchestrated by filmmaker Thomas Hardiman. For the Spring/Summer 2026 Fashion Week, the Italian designer presented his new collection in a cinema downtown. A shape-shifting wardrobe full of silhouettes ready to set sail.

Luca Magliano swaps the catwalk for the big screen
This season, Luca Magliano trades the catwalk for the silver screen. No traditional runway show for him, even though his shows were never quite that, but a short film instead. Titled Maglianic and screened in a Milanese movie theater, the short film was directed by British filmmaker Thomas Hardiman (Medusa Deluxe, 2023). It depicts a nighttime crossing on a rusty ferry, where adrift passengers draw a burlesque, melancholic canvas.
Also used for the collection’s lookbook, the setting is outside of time, halfway between a waking dream and a whimsical interlude, where fashion becomes a transitional state of mind. After unveiling a more understated Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection focused on the essence of clothing, the young Italian label continues its introspective journey…

Here, the silhouettes evoke travel, the wait and the possibility of departure. Shirts are crumpled, as if hastily pulled out from a bag. Ropes, hooks, and harnesses become jewelry or fastening systems, in a dialogue between utility and poetry. Fabrics float between cotton voile, organza, and technical materials. Even three-piece suits unravel into a carefully orchestrated textile chaos.
A collaboration with Veja
Yet the winner of the Karl Lagerfeld Prize at the 2023 LVMH Prize edition hasn’t lost the irony that first brought attention to him. Crochet ballet flats, pool goggles worn as necklaces, safety shoes, and glittering cleats imagined in collaboration with Veja punctuate this tender and clashing wardrobe. A collection that tells us about bodies in suspension, margins, and exile. But above all, a reminder that humanity has never inhabited clothing more fully than in Magliano’s world…
