THEin Milan Fashion Week welcomes the return to calm of Missoni. The collection Autumn Winter 2026/2027 signed by Alberto Caliri it is not just a sequence of garments, but a philosophy of life. The creative director chooses the “Slow Attitude” to respond to the frenzy of the current time: dressing becomes a conscious gesture, lightness and slowness they merge so as not to be oppressed by the speed of modern rhythms.
The art of layering in the Missoni fashion show
The key concept of the catwalk is the play of overlapping volumes. Caliri draws on the archives from 1978the year of the first presentation that united man and woman, to build a dynamic figure. The silhouette is layered like a capitaladding scarves, rolled sweaters and imposing outerwear over column dresses. The body is not covered, it is protected with a mesh architecture that combines freedom and memory.

The structure of the garments is decisive and reassuring. Big shoulders and oversized coats dominate the scene, evoking the Milan of the late 1980s lived with energy and style. For Caliri, functionality is aesthetic: pockets become a fundamental elementa refuge where you can put your hands to convey a sense of relaxed security that transcends the seasons.

Lurex and sequins illuminate jacquard knitweartransforming pieces designed for daytime into maximalist and sophisticated options. It is a perfect balance between the rigor of men’s tailoring and the softness of tops that caress the shape.
