Giuseppe Di Morabito Pre-Fall 2026

, written during the poet’s psychiatric confinement, Giuseppe Di Morabito imagined his collection as a constellation of fragments: “I was struck by how that kind of beauty came from a place of deep crisis,” he said. “It made me think of something that can be beautiful even when you’re not able to explain it.” The lookbook merged opposing forces: AI-generated images were juxtaposed with analogue photographs he took on his Leica. “I wanted to break the artificiality,” the designer said. “Clothes and memories are very real: in the photos there are Namibia, Stromboli, Botswana, Ibiza, Sri Lanka, for instance.” This duality was echoed in the wardrobe Di Morabito designed: “There’s a romanticism to it, but also distance. That tension is what I’m interested in,” he said. Capes made of pinstriped jacquard or lace bonded with plastic alternated with trenches in python-printed leather and shearlings stamped with animal motifs, introducing new material explorations. Silhouettes were expansive but sharp, with military closings and fitted waists, as the brand has accustomed us to: “The starting point is always menswear, but then I soften it for the modern woman, although I’m starting to enjoy seeing men wearing these clothes too,” said the designer.
