PÉ DE CHUMBO Spring/Summer 2027 at Milan Fashion Week

PÉ DE CHUMBO Spring/Summer 2027 / SS27 at Milan Fashion Week entitled “MINUIT BLEU”. “It was midnight… past midnight…. It wasn’t boredom. I had one last drink, then a cigarette”.

Inspired by the hypnotic atmosphere of La Peau Bleue, MINUIT BLEU evokes a summer night suspended between memory and desire. Silver reflections, deep blues, intense reds and amber golds emerge through delicate fishnets, sequins, fringes and irregular stripes. From short and long dresses to flowing skirts and subtle references to the 1920s, the collection explores a femininity that is elegant, sensual and free. Transparencies reveal flashes of color, while light, movement and texture shape a narrative of contrasts between delicacy and boldness.

For PÉ DE CHUMBO SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027, MINUIT BLEU is a collection about ephemeral beauty, seduction, and the memory of a night that lingers.

THE BRAND, Founded in 1995 by the Portuguese fashion designer Alexandra Oliveira, PÉ DE CHUMBO is a women’s clothing brand known for their experimentation and innovative techniques of mixing different fabrics and yarns in a handmade process. Thread is the central theme in PÉ DE CHUMBO’s collections. The creative process focuses on experimentation and originates from materials and threads that are then designed and made into fabric. After the thread is select and the fabric is created, the garment takes shape with the fitting process. Some of the thread used in the collections comes from waste sourced in surrounding factories of the designer’s hometown of Guimarães–one of the largest textile industry hubs in Portugal. This not only reduces textile waste, but also promotes a more circular and sustainable approach to fashion. Every collection is handcrafted locally, piece by piece, thread by thread. The designer favours textures and materials over silhouettes, allowing the thread to design the garments and give them their shape. Each fabric is created in an almost artisanal quality that is truly unique and exclusive to the brand.
