Numéro Berlin’s weekly collection of the most exciting news about fashion, music, and simply everything that is on our radar. And here is why it should be on yours as well!
GIORGIO ARMANI WOMEN’S SPRING/SUMMER 2026
Giorgio Armani presented the Women’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection on September 29th at Palazzo Brera in Milan, accompanied by the piano music of Ludovico Einaudi. The show closed Milan Fashion Week and became a moment of remembrance for the designer, almost a month after his passing.
As the last collection Giorgio Armani personally worked on, the presentation also marked the company’s 50th anniversary. Celebrations had begun in August with the launch of ARMANI/Archivio and the opening of an exhibition at the Pinacoteca di Brera, where 133 archive pieces were displayed alongside Italian artworks, offering a unique insight into the evolution of Armani’s creative legacy.
The Spring/Summer 2026 show thus stood both as a tribute to Armani’s enduring vision and as a celebration of half a century of timeless elegance.

ARTHUR ARBESSER FW25 COLLECTION
Arthur Arbesser presented his FW25 collection during Milan Fashion Week, remaining true to his experimental spirit with flowing trousers, androgynous vests, and clean overshirts paired with reinterpreted prints. At the core of the collection lies upcycling, with materials sourced from his own archive, transformed into graphic patterns and playful details.
Designed to complement the underwear capsule created in collaboration with Swiss heritage brand HANRO, the collection marks a milestone: Arbesser is the first designer in the company’s 140-year history to realize his own line. Checkerboard and block Vichy patterns, combined with a harmonious color palette, highlight the capsule’s graphic clarity while blending seamlessly with the FW25 designs. The result is a rare balance of underwear and ready-to-wear—subtle, modern, and timeless.
Alongside his fashion pieces, Arbesser also explored his passion for product design, unveiling the HUF lamp, developed with Milan-based studio Servomuto. Inspired by the shape of a horse’s hoof, the lamp comes in two sizes, bold colors, and prints drawn from the FW25 collection.
Whether through garments or design objects, one element remains central: Arbesser’s fascination with color and print, ensuring that the world never fades into uniformity.
FERRARI SPRING/SUMMER 2026 RUNWAY COLLECTION
Ferrari unveiled its SS26 Runway Collection under the creative direction of Rocco Iannone, guided by a philosophy of reduction, focus, and precision. Rooted in the spirit of the Officina—a space of concentration and transformation—the collection unites form and function, celebrating beauty not as ornament, but as the most immediate expression of design intent.
Crafted from refined materials such as silk canvas, tussah silk, cashmere gauze, silk moiré, nappa, and denim, the collection allows fabrics to speak through texture and color. Shades of white—from butter to optic—are contrasted with rust and magma red, while the silhouettes remain vertical, sculptural, and fluid. Tailored yet enveloping, the cuts emphasize materiality, purity, and movement.
The collection unfolds in three movements: beginning with long dresses, loose tailoring, shirts, and cargo pants; continuing with bold statements in washed leather, acid-etched denim, and airbrushed knitwear; and culminating in a luminous finale of sculptural fluidity with metallic shimmer. Accessories complete the vision with canvas pumps wrapped in leather cords, square-toed driving shoes, the soft La Ferrari Dino bag, the angular Nello Tool Case, and jewelry inspired by screws, padlocks, and tools.
Presented in a futuristic white laboratory, the Officina stripped away distraction to highlight touch, material, and creation. Here, clarity of light and instinctive precision underscore a philosophy where reduction enhances meaning, emotion, and connection—an approach that defines Ferrari’s vision of fashion for both men and women.
ACNE STUDIOS SPRING/SUMMER 2026 COLLECTION
Acne Studios presented its Spring/Summer 2026 collection as both a reflection of the cultural moment and a projection of creative vision, questioning the boundaries between men’s and women’s wear by dismantling archetypes. Inside the Collège des Bernardins in Paris, transformed into a moody cigar salon within its vaulted hall, a new female protagonist emerged—subversive, sophisticated, and defined by her multifaceted sense of self.
Identity was explored as fluid and unfixed, with characters exuding strong, androgynous energy. Transposed suit jackets, uniform shirts, and lace patchworks appeared as sculptural second-skin compositions, challenging conventions of craft and femininity. Everyday garments were reinterpreted: lumberjack shirts paired with gauzy slip skirts, poplin softened to disheveled textures, leather and suede waxed or spray-painted to evoke aged patina. Denim was deconstructed and rebuilt into tactile, layered forms, while knits shifted from delicate base layers to chunky sweaters perforated with bold, window-like holes.
Accessories further emphasized individuality with reflective aviators, oversized earrings collaged in amber and turquoise, statement belts accentuating denim, and footwear ranging from square-toe loafers with wedged heels to elongated cowboy boots. The Camero bag returned in new iterations, joined by the Hotel weekender, defined by spacious interiors and varied treatments.
Artist Pacifico Silano’s collage imagery infused the collection with an undercurrent of homoeroticism, echoed in the soundtrack curated by musician Robyn, who introduced new material alongside a reimagined version of “Robotboy” (2005) with Yung Lean. The interplay of music and fashion highlighted shifting ideas of femininity, celebrating strength, playfulness, and freedom.
As Acne Studios approaches its 30th anniversary, the Spring/Summer 2026 collection affirmed its protagonists—women who have always been present, now leading with confidence into the brand’s next chapter.
