Francesca Liberatore – Milan Fashion Week SS26
The courtyard of a school on Via Borgospesso transforms into a runway as models descend the fire escape, opening the show.
The first looks appear wearing paintings as crowns — symbols of inner battles told through swords and brushstrokes, embodying the naïf soul of Francesca Liberatore.
Three headpieces bear the words: Imagination, Possibility, Thinking — statements of intent that Liberatore turns into garments capable of speaking to the human spirit.
At Milan Fashion Week, Francesca Liberatore presents a collection rooted in the Greek concept of Alètheia — truth unveiled, what ceases to remain hidden.
It becomes a poetic lens through which to read our present moment, between uncertainty, conflict, and contradiction, and a search for authenticity.
Chaos as a stylistic signature.
The collection flows between tailored coats, ethereal transparency, and meticulous prints, adorned with bronze and silver details.
There’s raw-cut jersey, cotton voile, jacquard, and lace, all intentionally deconstructed into oversized shirts, modular skirts, and hybrid accessories.
The Truth Woven in Time
The collection tells a story of truth in a world where truth itself has grown obsolete.
Fabrics salvaged from the beds of the past, when quality and beauty were still a value, are reborn as fluid jackets and coats in timeless ivory tones.
It is a search for memory and authenticity, for what we’ve set aside and forgotten — yet which, by its very nature, has retained the grace of another era.
The color palette juxtaposes ivory and neutrals with bursts of lobster red and deep blue, fading into misty hues.
A slow, deliberate rhythm pervades the runway, celebrating the grace of those who choose to move at their own pace — serene amid chaos.
The soundtrack mirrors this evolution: from the lyricism of Ennio Morricone to the tension of Two Bullets by Mono Town, ending with Elisa’s Mad World.
In the finale, models place a black rose on the floor — a poetic seal on a collection that abandons coherence to become a mirror of our time.
