VIVETTA FALL/WINTER 2026-27 COLLECTION

Romance and disquiet. Artfully staged mystery. Discipline and play. A swelling collision unfolds like a hypnotic melody, setting the tone for Vivetta’s masquerade night. For Vivetta Fall/Winter 2026 collection, the brand conjures an imaginary ball: a suspended moment between reality and the subconscious, where identity and artifice blur. It is the hushed echoes of Truman Capote’s legendary Black and White Ball, the voices of his iconic “swans” shaping the imagination. A passion for Surrealism captivates the gaze. Yet this ball is no nostalgic homage: it is an exploration of duality and transformation, whispering tales of an aristocratic Gothic that brushes against shadow without ever relin-quishing irony.

Theatrical crescendos meet a new intimacy. Silhouettes oscillate between British rigor and dramatic edge: English-lady tailoring, classic knit diamonds heightened into argyle embroideries. Clean sartorial constructions unfold into unexpected volumes, drapes and bows that seem to surface from a dreamscape. The brand’s signature face profiles, inspired by the visions of Salvador Dalí, morph into embroidered jackets, boleros and a sculptural three-dimensional felt dress, with faces fanning open around the body. Painterly references evoke the oneiric imagery of Rafal Olbiński: women seen from behind, elusive identities, magnificent, suspended visions. The swan, emblem of grace and metamorphosis, glides across garments and accessories in velvety three-dimensional embroideries, adorning gloves, masks and shoes, culminating in a final look where bow and train become a dramatic gesture. Structured wools enter into dialogue with organza, kinetic pleats and nylon taffeta.

The human-animal evolution reveals itself in fur-effect inserts on diaphanous slips, creating tension between fragility and instinct. Surrealism is not merely an aesthetic suggestion here; it becomes narrative structure. Eighteenth-century British silverware transforms into prints and jewellery: swan-shaped pitchers, cutlery entwined as earrings. The egg accrues symbolic resonance, ideally morphing into a human face. Folded napkins evolve into three-dimensional rosettes applied to mini dresses and shorts, then replicated in metal as brooches and jewel-like mini bags.

Making its runway debut, Vivetta menswear collection enters as a complementary yet deliberately edgy, presence. With a sharpened romanticism balanced somewhere between prince and gatecrasher, tailoring and sport, it inhabits the same universe while subtly cracking its polished surface, introducing a drier, more incisive rhythm. Silhouettes alternate between oversized volumes and leaner lines. A sweatshirt that is, in fact, a diamond-pleated shirt subverts perceptions of formal and casual. Surrealist details grow more understated: accessory bibs revealing glimpses of goblets and concealed profiles, like secrets half-glimpsed in the candlelit dark.
