ANTEPRIMA Fall/Winter 2026 / FW26 at Milan Fashion Week
Draped in time, folded in memory featuring artist: AIKO MIYANAGA. ANTEPRIMA FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 collection explores the invisible architecture of time, investigating its silent presence and the traces it leaves on matter and memory. It is an invitation to recognize beauty in change and to preserve, in the present, the memory of time.
ANTEPRIMA FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 collection originates from a dialogue with Japanese artist Aiko Miyanaga, known for her poetic installations that give form to impermanence through ephemeral materials such as salt, glass, and naphthalene. Her works, destined to transform and dissolve, capture the moment just before disappearance, making visible what would otherwise go unnoticed. Translating this vision into the language of fashion, ANTEPRIMA creates a collection that intertwines warmth and transparency, structure and fluidity. Cashmere, a defining element of the maison, becomes a “vessel of memory”: soft, enveloping, and seasonless. The silhouettes are essential yet vibrant, light yet grounded — designed to inhabit the present with awareness.
The materials narrate the passage of time through imperfect textures, layered transparencies, devoré techniques, needle punch, and jacquards revealed even on the reverse side. Prints — keys, clocks, butterflies, everyday objects — emerge like ghostly impressions, blurred outlines that evoke traces of memory rather than mere decoration.
The color palette unfolds in two chapters: on one side, the natural tones of heathlands — warm neutrals, moss greens, dusty pinks; on the other, deep mineral hues ranging from grey to peacock blue to crystalline white, inspired by the fading materials in Miyanaga’s works. The result is a contemplative collection in which fashion and art converge to express a new idea of luxury — one rooted not in permanence, but in transformation.
