Massimo Giorgetti had florals in mind for resort 2026. And though that’s far from groundbreaking, his take on a gardening theme resulted into a youthful collection centered on workwear and with a ‘90s undercurrent rather than the frilly and romantic vibe frequently associated with the inspiration.
The designer wanted to keep things light, fresh and immediate, mainly working with cotton and adding some broderie anglaise here and taffeta touches there to play with different textures and inject a calibrated, girly spin in the lineup. Ditto for volumes and proportions, as he alternated the essential lines of cropped workwear jackets and the roomy ones of baggy pants with the puffed shapes of pastel-hued pocketed minidresses and the asymmetric lines of scarf-inspired denim frocks.
Florals were indeed addressed in many ways, running the gamut from gobelin coats and suits to an archival MSGM print from 2019 and now blooming over shirts and Lycra tops peeking from under pink overalls. A faded flower motif was additionally patchworked into oversized shirting, while a painterly image of flower vases lent a nice arty vibe to a dress and wrap skirt in thick canvas.

Throughout the collection Giorgetti instilled a lived-in feel via raw cuts and sun-soaked effects out of his desire to make clothes “more real, a little less perfect.” He was way less subtle in layering lightweight ribbed tank tops and shirts in acid lime, pink and orange hues in some punchy outfits that seemed to come straight from the ‘90s, but also instantly reminded one of the vibrant roots of the brand.
