MISSONI SPRING SUMMER 2026 SHOW BACKSTAGE

 Missoni, in Alberto Caliri's vision, belongs to the everyday. He's interested in ways and attitudes, which
he Missionifies through relentless research into color and materials, interwoven in the vibrant and
complex rhythm of patterns, imagining garments designed to be worn day after day, in real-life

situations.

The horizon within which this collection expands is the seaside, meant not so much as the beach, rather
as a flow of days spent in rapidly changing situations, of sudden occasions that move from the shore to
the city and back again. This is all tied together with an idea of spontaneity: the pure instinct of dressing
by mixing new pieces, inherited items, things found in a closet and immediately made one's own:
cardigans and blousons that belong to him, the striped shirt, the cashmere vest, the shorts, even the

beach towel.

The stylistic gesture is resolute, and asserts as an identifying feature a silhouette reiterated from the
previous season: voluminous and short, with bare legs. Everything gets shortened, until swim briefs
replace trousers, which are otherwise shorts with rolled hems. The urge to shorten is pervasive: even
textured sweaters and blazers expand at the shoulders and contract at the hem, while mini dresses
become open-back t-shirts. The twinset is revamped, taking on the appearance of a vest coordinated

with a small sundress.

A multitude of bags, carried all together to accommodate the day's diverse needs, small berets, relaxed

boots, flat shoes, and oversized jewelry.

An immediate collection, eschewing conventions and constraints, in a quintessentially Missoni way.
