Romeo Gigli

A collection born from a cut, from an inner separation that is mended through beauty.

Severance is the poetry of what breaks, yet remains imprinted on the body.

Unexpected drapes are knotted in liquid silks, like severed ties still trying to intertwine. Featherlight trilobed

organzas, crossed by colonial stripes, open into irregular pleats, like memories vibrating at the edges of the skin.

Surfaces embroidered with rope-shaped leaves become maps of the body and of memory. Ergonomic

structures, almost self-wearing, shape volumes through intimate tailoring: reassembled hems, hidden

crinolines blooming in spirals like buds held back in time.

A femininity suspended between the romantic and the ethereal, crossed by a sisterly tension that pulses

beneath the silk.

For Spring-Summer 2026, Romeo Gigli – under the creative direction of Alessandro De Benedetti –

continues his narrative of fragility and strength, crafting a collection that is ritual and healing, beauty and rupture.

The color palette tells the story of a soulscape: butter, sky, dusty, coral cream, sand, ivory, natural, yellow

white, black and red chase each other in a material symphony of whispered tones and vital accents. The

colors do not dominate: they caress, accompany, and emerge through transparencies, layering, and subtle contrasts.

Fabrics become poetic instruments: reed lace, Swiss cotton, silk voile, jute canvas, organza crepon, gauze,

metal duchesse, fil coupé, plissé, enzyme-washed viscose. Each surface carries a tactile narrative, a secret

language between garment and skin. Structure is never rigid. The silhouettes become mobile, sculptural,

yet intimate: they dress not to define, but to evoke.

Key pieces in the collection include: Dress Cloud Busting, in dusty silk voile, envelops the body with mystical

lightness. A dress that floats like a thought and transforms into a rarefied silhouette. Dress Willow, in black

or ivory reed lace, a ritual symbol of strength and purity. The smocked bodice becomes a second skin with

sacred gentleness—embracing without constricting. Dress Violante, long or mini, with or without crinolines,

in coral, sky and yellow. The mystery of rebirth takes form in its ethereal construction, hidden beneath

multiple circular layers of silk. Dress Electra, in shades of coral cream, butter, sky, yellow white. It caresses

the skin with broken yet continuous lines, balancing sculptural form and the flowing movement of its maxi

skirt. Dress Rosanthe, long or short, in dusty or ivory. Made of gathered, bias-cut voile. Suspended between

past and desire, like a poem not yet spoken. Skirt Dress Memole, a hybrid between dream and architecture,

in organza and gauze in sky or ivory. It inhabits the boundary between subjectivity and deconstruction.

Jacket Sofia Coppola, in white canvas, lined with fil coupé. Blends cinematic poise with the masculinefeminine

delicacy of its muse. Tailleur Crossed, butter, coral cream, yellow, black—the reinterpretation of

power through fluidity. Shirt Bryan, voile, chiffon, Swiss cotton. Shirts as blank pages, ready to be written

on. Jacket Sahara, in reed lace or stretch cotton in sand tones. Deconstructs into two parts, creating a gilet

and micro top—an object with multiple personalities.

In SEVERANCE, each garment is a crossing, an emotional geography to wear. Fashion does not cover, it

reveals. It doesn’t decorate, it narrates.
