Gabriele Colangelo’s SS26 collection explores subtle lace lit by glass baguettes, translucent organza that gently veils the body, and silky fringes shaping generous volumes. Raffia jacquard weaves geometric patterns that unravel into wavering fringes, while reptile-like surfaces shimmer with vertical gradients.

Linear silhouettes alternate between fluid drapes and architectural cuts: shirts resemble draped capes, jackets feature sharp shoulders. Neutral tones meet decisive black, enriched by golden leather chains that double as necklaces, belts, or straps. Pointed boots and python sandals in vivid green complete this poised yet sensual narrative.
