GIADA SPRING/SUMMER 2026 COLLECTION

Imaginary peonies emerge from subtractions of chiffon and raffia, unusual fringes lit by micro-jais, crafting natural couture combinations that elongate the silhouette – delicate, yet defined. Serenity and wonder: in gardens, microcosms of emotions refract like the gentle sensation of a garment embracing both body and soul. Gabriele Colangelo’s sensorial journey continues, rediscovering nature – this time the suspended beauty of Boboli Gardens in Florence. Here, light dances softly among green canopies and vegetal arcades, revealing the enchantment of peonies blooming in Renaissance flower beds.

The irregular and emotional stroke of ink sketches petals and leaves for prints, embroideries, and intricate fabrications. Invisible raffia over chiffon creates devoré effects born of a patient artisanal technique of material subtraction. Peony ramages whisper elegant echoes – layering over sheer white dresses and flowing through radiant, slender silhouettes, embroidered in white-on-white or stark black-on-white contrasts. These floral memories morph into geometric volumes, shaping resin necklaces and brooches – rounded, organic pieces for women who appreciate hand-worked, sculptural materials.

Fine fringes flow like gradient threads shaded in onyx and jade, always adorned with microcrystals. The collection alternates between stillness, movement, and dimensionality, much like the painterly visions of the finest gardens. Wendy Golden’s monofilament baskets inspire the textures of viscose and silk knitwear, partially blended with Lycra and finished with metallic threads to heighten their sculptural essence. These garments echo the fluidity of mobile columns in their length. Dresses with invisible bustiers are rendered in soft pebble tones, sublimated by shades of gray agate. Some fabrics resemble wisps of cloud, carded and feathered in effect. Leather, as thin as silk, expresses a sensuality that transcends attitude, season, and temperature.

The collection features no bags, but the iconic Andi coat takes center stage in the models’ hands – a symbol of GIADA style. This season, its tailoring is defined by an even higher front slit. A tempered rigor emerges through sheer layers, an apparent minimalism, and pointed knit ankle boots or artfully fringed slides. A further step toward new horizons of beauty.

GIADA Spring/Summer 2026 collection will be proudly presented at Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan. At this renowned house museum, GIADA reaffirms its commitment in the exploration of the fusion between classical culture and modern art, to further develop the unique “Art to Art” experience promoted by the brand. The exhibition will take place on September 24th 2025 through an exclusive press presentation during Milan Fashion Week.
