Ermanno Scervino Fashion Show SS26

Scervino tells the story of a multitude of female figures who inhabit the light and move through transparency. Tourists straight out of an Anacapri postcard, urban explorers, women born to move through Mediterranean landscapes restless, nomadic figures drawn in indigo, like modern-day Dominique Sanda or Veruschka.
The collection's atmosphere is one of full light and stark shadow, where empty spaces are as meaningful as the filled ones, and surfaces welcome transparency.
Lace and crochet flow like gauze layered across a sunlit terrace. Cut-outs, corded designs, and crystals arranged in geometric patterns evoke ceramics brilliant and irregular.
The materials themselves contribute to this balance, taking on new forms through technology. Through the ancient 'iris petal' layering technique, chiffon keeps its airy, translucent nature while taking on an unexpected structure. suitable even for blazer tailoring.
It’s still chiffon, but it’s something new, that did not exist before. Likewise, feather-light, impalpable nappa is pleated into irregular shapes, maintaining its original sheen.
The color palette traces a map: saturated blues, warm sand, chalk white, sun-faded sky tones, and the vibrant orange of ceramics or citrus fruits. There’s a precious refinement, defined by carefully calibrated hues.
Accessories mirror the same balance between craftsmanship and experimentation that defines the whole collection. Bags combine woven straw, bamboo canes, crochet, raffia, suede, and leather. Some are adorned with exquisite, almost vintage-style embroidery; others recall explorer satchels or the softness of cushions in Mediterranean villas.
Flip-flops with lace soles, cork wedges, fringed loafers, patent or embroidered sandals: footwear that lightens, softens the formality, and brings an airy delicacy to the look.
