Ermanno Scervino Resort 2026 Collection

“I like intelligent women, and intelligent women are never victims of the clothes they wear,” said Ermanno Scervino. For resort 2026, he drew inspiration from icons such as Marella Agnelli, Lee Radziwill, Talitha Getty, and Jackie Kennedy. He transported the imagery of ’60s and ’70s Capri to Florence—the backdrop for the campaign—capturing a more urban take on Italian dolce vita. “I wanted to bring my idea of class to the streets. Today, elegance cannot appear detached from reality or removed from daily life.”

His vision of charm is rooted in a seduction that is never ostentatious but rather enigmatic. The collection exuded the subtle art of sprezzatura: beauty that speaks for itself, without explanation. A signature expression of his aesthetic lies in the pairing of silk slips with outerwear crafted from technical fabrics. “I delved into the past,” he said. “Lingerie-inspired dresses and down jackets are what brought us international success. This combination also represents a union between craftsmanship and technology. To me, that is true modernity.”

His passion for craft emerged clearly in the details. What appeared to be denim on a double-breasted suit was, in fact, printed chiffon; a sculptural suede was hand-embroidered; raffia was worked in crochet. Lace and knitwear remain essential elements in Scervino’s world, while a playful sensibility runs throughout. Vichy checks and stripes coexist with animal prints, and the color palette—ranging from milky white to black—was brightened by pastel blue, coral red, and soft pink.

Encapsulating what the designer described as “irreverent elegance,” a floor-length sequined skirt was paired effortlessly with a crisp white shirt.
