Malo Spring/Summer 2027 during Milan Fashion Week

Malo Spring/Summer 2027 / SS27 during Milan Fashion Week entitled The Architecture of Lightness

Milan, June 21, 2026 — For SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027, Malo expands its restoration through product: knitwear, outerwear, tailoring, color and the technical intelligence of Italian craft. Lighter weights, lighter constructions and a lighter touch on the body are achieved without surrendering the definition and form that makes Malo’s garments so distinct. The result is summer dressing shaped through Malo’s deep material expertise: precise, sensual and made to live with the wearer.

Malo SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027 collection is built on the tensions that drive our process: structure and fluidity, expertise and instinct, discipline and emotion. Architectural outerwear and sculptural, ergonomic blouses are set against soleil pleating, fluid foulard-inspired skirts and one-shoulder dresses that adapt to and reframe the body as it moves. These garments are conceived as vehicles for emotion, pleasure and confidence.

Knitwear is the defining specialism of Malo. For Spring/Summer 2027, more than five decades of archive stitches, gauges and treatments are applied to the contemporary silhouette. Heritage cable constructions return in the form of the Canessa cable and the signature 2/28 cashmere braid. English ribs, openwork, fully fashioned details and bi-color ottoman knits demonstrate the precision of Malo’s fine-gauge expertise. A rare vintage machine held in the house’s Emilia-Romagna atelier produces knits of exceptional lightness and exactitude: pure silk ribs, cashmere capes cut to a cocoon-light volume, and wool-and-silk constructions with an almost weightless hand.

Hand-crocheted details, worked in Puglia, run through the collection as an articulation of slow, artisanal production. They enrich malfilé cashmere and cotton knits, ribbed surfaces and openwork pieces. Innovation reframes tradition: a diagonal jacquard reproduces the look of denim while remaining entirely knitted. The material story is built for warm-weather living. Ultra-light technical nylon, slub viscose, water-repellent coated linen and garment-washed Japanese cotton denim sit beside mélange blends of cotton, silk and linen that give the surface a naturally irregular, lived-in depth. Double-face construction, a Malo specialism, reveals checked or contrasting interiors. Detachable knit collars and signature wooden toggles carry the house’s outerwear codes into summer. A nautical current runs throughout: eyelets and slub viscose drawn from the world of sailing, rope-and-ring closures, soleil-pleated dresses finished with a cord made from the garment’s own yarn, and toggles inspired by maritime tradition.

Color is one of Malo’s defining signatures. The house was among the first to treat cashmere as a field of chromatic expression, and that expression is expanded for SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027. Saturated oranges and marine blues meet sun-bleached creams, soft naturals and earthen browns. Bi-color pleating, mouliné stripes, striped intarsia and vanisé techniques allow color to move across the surface of the garment. Each shade is approached as a form of character: distinct, emotional and never loud.

“For Malo SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027, we worked to take Malo’s deep knowledge of knitwear and articulate it through lightness, movement and precision. The result is a collection distinguished by proportion, color and construction, in which cashmere and noble fibers are treated as a complete language of ready-to-wear.” — Michelle Kessler-Sanders, CEO
