Dries Van Noten’s knack for old mansions and their lavish gardens has inspired more than one of his collections, and this season followed a similar pattern. “An imagined view from Kelmscott Manor [the country home of writer William Morris] on arts and crafts today,” the notes to his show informed. That translated into romantic visuals based on photo prints of floral tapestry and tonal patchworks.
Ilan Chetrite channeled a nautical vibe with his spring collection for Sandro, with wide ankle-length pants and striped short-sleeved sweaters that had a whiff of the Forties — think Gene Kelly in “Anchors Aweigh.”
Trussardi once again held its presentation at the art gallery Pinacoteca di Brera and tapped a group of actors, complete with their stereotypes and quirks, to symbolize the modern man.
Alessandro dell’Acqua opted for a presentation rather than a runway show this season. The low-key format matched the spirit of his spring collection, which was a sum of No. 21’s signature pieces.
For ZARA Studio Spring/Summer 2026, the message is clear: masculinity is fluid, styling is personal, and the future of menswear lies in the balance between structure and freedom.
