Elisabetta Franchi Resort 2026

“Beauty, femininity, seduction, empowerment, strength, determination, dedication, energy, evolution, future.” Each garment by Elisabetta Franchi was shaped around the meaning of those ten words—which, in the resort 2026 collection, became a manifesto, printed on a T-shirt or embroidered on the pocket of a denim shirt. In the space between each word, the designer continued to write her story with coherence and intent. “This collection cannot be viewed as a standalone tale, but rather as the latest chapter in an ongoing journey, encapsulating the codes of our DNA. A garment should never define a woman’s personality—it is the woman who gives meaning to what she wears,” said Franchi. “This is a tribute to the conscious, confident woman who stands as the true protagonist of her time.” With a desire to celebrate femininity, the body became the central focus of the narrative: revealed, sculpted, defined, exposed—though not necessarily through body-hugging silhouettes. When drawing from menswear codes, shapes became softer, more fluid, more classic.
