Antonio Marras Spring 2026 Collection
This season, Antonio Marras once again turned to his beloved Sardinia, while also drawing inspiration from the intellectual and aesthetic legacy of the Bloomsbury Group, with references to Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, and D.H. Lawrence. True to his style, the show was anything but minimal—an extended journey through cultures and centuries that resisted the idea of overly edited collections.
On the runway, vintage garments and traditional Sardinian costumes, sourced from a private collector, were seamlessly paired with Marras’s new creations, highlighting how heritage and modernity can coexist effortlessly. Early standouts included silk dresses in lilac and cadmium hues adorned with floral prints, some tightly cinched with delicate corsets, as well as 1920s-inspired designs embellished with jet embroidery.
Marras’s signature patchwork made a strong statement once again: checks clashed with florals, stripes intertwined with damasks, and faux furs met intricate embroidery, creating an eclectic and poetic visual universe. His technical mastery was evident in draping, pleating, and artisanal embroidery, which brought theatrical elegance to a selection of cocktail dresses.
Menswear also played a central role, with models walking in silk pajamas, oversized pea coats, and sharply tailored jackets, often crafted in the same fabrics as the womenswear, reinforcing Marras’s vision of breaking gender boundaries.
The finale carried a deeply personal message: the appearance of Sardinian shepherd Giuseppe Ignazio Loi, who famously refused to sell his land to a multinational corporation. Marras presented him as a living symbol of resistance, roots, and belonging—values the designer continuously weaves into his fashion.
