Sprezzatura. Tod’s SS26

Count on Matteo Tamburini to deliver a precise, hands-on collection in Milan. His Tod’s has become synonymous with finesse – especially in the realm of leather. It was reworked in myriad ways: from butter-smooth, striped dresses so languid and breezy they looked, from afar, like silk foulards; to a Macintosh coat worn inside out, its hidden seams revealed as bold graphic punctuation; to an easygoing suede column in a life-affirming shade of curcuma.

Tamburini also sent down the runway a series of feather-light pullovers in warm hues, styled with matching briefs, silk scarves, ladylike pumps, and oversized striped totes. Very chic – just like the black-and-white ensemble of a zipped hoodie, men’s shirt, and tailored pants. With every season, the Tod’s woman and her style grow ever more refined. Sprezzatura.

“Everything is so hardcore in the world right now.”

No fillers, just killers.

Ideas that makes you gasp, wonder, think.

Distorted proportions = new sexuality.

Method(s) of dressing today.

Colour-POP!

Raw, but chic.

Chic like you’ve never known it.

Long gloves, full skirts, sharp cuts.

F-u to mediocrity.

SHE’s ever-changing.

And they are free.

Miuccia and Raf, you’ve made fashion feel contemporary again.

Grazie.

A Need, Not A Want. Daniela Gregis SS26

You’d never guess which collection – an entire collection, not just two looks! – has stolen my heart this season. Daniela Gregis is a brand beloved by clients who shop not at Hermès or The Row, but at Dover Street Market and 10 Corso Como. Founded in the 1980s and now helmed by Daniela’s daughter, Marta Bortolotti, the label has no social media presence yet maintains a cult following. Its signatures are roomy sack dresses as effortless as T-shirts, ultra-fine knitwear, and an off-beat allure that feels a little granny-ish, delightfully quirky, and utterly specific.

This season’s collection distilled the Gregis style language to perfection: checked tunics and shawls cocooning the body, cloud-like dresses that from afar resemble crumpled paper, parachute volumes designed for comfort and ease. The layering? Heavenly. The color palette? Vibrant and uplifting. And yes, I’m already stealing the double-flannel shirt trick from the men’s looks. That curcuma-shade shirt is a need, not a want.
