Borsalino Spring/Summer 2027 at Milan Fashion Week

Borsalino Spring/Summer 2027 / SS27 at Milan Fashion Week

Milano, September 24th, 2026 – For Spring/Summer 2027, Borsalino revisits the atmosphere of Casablanca, the 1942 cinematic masterpiece, and the timeless elegance of its protagonists, Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart. She, sophisticated and understated, dressed in whites and pastel shades; he, an enduring icon of menswear elegance, from his white dinner jacket to his inseparable trench coat and hat. Suspended between reality and cinematic suggestion, Casablanca becomes the starting point for a journey shaped by light and contrasts: the white of its architecture, the blue of the Atlantic, the mineral tones of stone and the intense colors of spices and earth. A visual landscape that the SS27 collection translates into materials, shapes and techniques through Borsalino’s savoir-faire.

Ingrid Bergman’s elegance finds one of its most direct expressions in the Ultra Feminine chapter. MOUNA, a new visor in lustrous satin, incorporates a long scarf that can be styled in different ways; TAMARA, crafted from the finest sewn straw in the collection, pairs a wide sloping brim with an oversized tricolor band. Finally, FRIDA reinterprets the classic boater hat with a more feminine, structured silhouette, defined by a medium, flat brim and deep crown.

The color palette of Borsalino SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027 also draws on the imagery of the film and its protagonists. Royal Casablanca recalls the white of the city’s architecture and Bogart’s dinner jacket; Self Tie, the black of his bow tie; Humphrey Trench, his iconic trench coat; and Ingrid Rose, Bergman’s delicate pastel tones. Tamaris Blue looks to the Atlantic and Moroccan skies, while Spice Ocra, Medina Brown, Tajine Red and Café Americain evoke stone, earth, spices, markets and the atmosphere of the film.

From the cinematic imagination, the journey moves into the real Casablanca. The city’s architecture introduces the narrative through the Areati theme. The intricate patterns of Moorish openings, designed to allow air to circulate during the hottest hours of the day, are translated onto the crowns of the semi-ventilated FERRAC, with its pork-pie crown and country-style brim, and CLAUDE, where geometries created by skilled Ecuadorian hands make each piece unique. On the LISA cloche, the openwork motif instead runs along the brim, creating a play of light and shadow across the face. The ventilated effect returns in ILLY, where hemp and cellulose fibers are woven together and applied by hand in a wave-like movement, and in KOKO and KIKKA, whose cotton knit stitch recalls the carved openings of minarets. The journey then moves into Moroccan Interiors, exploring natural fibers, mélanges and warm chromatic harmonies accentuated by contrasts with black. FEDERICO, an iconic Borsalino style, embodies this theme in a natural and coffee-colored mélange raffia specially made in Madagascar.

From the interiors, the gaze shifts towards courtyards, mosques and palaces through Zellige, geometric compositions of small colored ceramic tiles transformed into bands and woven patterns. The motif runs along the band of CLAUDE, crafted in bleached natural raffia, and across the entire surfaces of MEDEA and MARGOT. On the country-style TOKYO, it meets Japanese paper fiber, whose waxed finish lends softness, lustre and enhanced durability. Morocco’s decorative heritage continues with Casablanca Majolica. At the heart of the theme is SOPHIE, an iconic Maison silhouette embellished with a leather band featuring tiny tiles and stones applied by hand. In the semi-crochet Panama version, the decoration becomes transformable: the three-section band, finished at the back with an archival bow dating from 1942, can be removed from the hat and worn as a bandeau.

Maroquinerie, meanwhile, explores Morocco’s leatherworking tradition through suede, engravings and functional details. COUNTRY LAMBS and CLAUDETTE feature laser-worked suede bands that evoke the ribbed texture of Borsalino’s classic grosgrain; INDIANA, thanks to a flexible wire inserted into the brim and a removable suede band, can be reshaped and easily rolled. LASLO, in brisa hemp, combines an inlaid leather band with metal details on either side of the crown to enhance ventilation, while suede dresses the OTISbaseball cap and enriches the trims of GOLFER and VINCENZO.

For SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027, the dialogue between hats and accessories also extends to the Borsalino leather goods collection, produced under license by GAMAT. The Maison’s distinctive shapes and codes are reinterpreted through new proportions and functions: KOKO transforms the silhouette of a hat into a crochet raffia structure, while VORTEX originates from the gesture of turning the form upside down, wrapped in leather straps that create a spiral effect. PANAMA SIGN brings the cotton canvas and textural contrasts of the Borsalino world to tote and bucket bags, while LOLA evokes the profile of a hat crown through its construction. Raffia, satin, suede, leather and grosgrain thus create a wardrobe of accessories conceived in continuity with the hat extending to functional details that, on selected styles, allow the hat to be attached directly to the bag.

In the year of Borsalino’s 170th Anniversary, this journey through cinematic memory also becomes an opportunity to rediscover the Maison’s heritage. Historic bands preserved in the archives return to the collection: Razzo, created in 1939 in the wake of the Futurist movement, with its bow shifted towards the back; Ape Bicolore, from 1942, which brings to the front elements traditionally positioned at the back of the Borsalino bow; and Tati, reinterpreted on a majolica-inspired leather bandeau. Elements with more than eighty years of history are revisited through contemporary materials, proportions and shapes, creating a direct dialogue between the Maison’s heritage and SS27.

170 years after its founding, Borsalino looks to Casablanca not as an image to reproduce, but as a universe to reinterpret, one in which past and present come together, reaffirming Borsalino’s ability to transform its history into an ever-contemporary language.
