With its Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Herbarium, Luisa Beccaria embarks on a journey into its own universe, bringing to the runway the Maison’s iconic botanical imagery, enriched by a new, playful and sensual vision.
Like the pages of an ancient herbarium preserving fragments of seasons long past, the collection gathers the natural elements that inhabit Luisa Beccaria’s imagination: flowers, leaves, pomegranates and vegetation settle onto fabrics, transforming into prints, embroideries and appliqués, ranging from the softest hues to the most vibrant colours, evoking the memory of nature from the very moment of its first awakening.
The inspiration drawn from the botanical and aquatic worlds runs throughout the collection, intertwining different silhouettes, lengths and proportions: bustier dresses paired with lightweight capes, pencil skirts and sheer blouses, trapeze mini dresses, fluid and more structured dresses. Hand-knitted openwork mohair knitwear, light as a cloud, is enriched with dégradé shades that echo the petals of flowers.
The colour palette comes to life in the hues of water and sky, of dawn, sunlight and sunset.
A wardrobe designed to accompany women through the different moments of life and the day, from the most important celebrations to countryside breakfasts and evenings by the sea.
Shimmering, fluid and weightless fabrics, transparent as water, such as organza, fil coupé, lace and embroidered tulle, alternate with more substantial, rustling materials: brocade, poplin and printed cottons.
Chiffon inserts evoke the lightness of petals; embroidered flowers emerge from the surfaces; printed and appliquéd sequins create a three-dimensional effect that seems ready to unfold.
Ruches and ruffles bloom at necklines, on shirt cuffs and along trouser hems, creating corolla-like shapes that follow the movement of the body.
Delicate stripes run through the floral narrative with a more graphic rhythm, creating a balance between rigour and romanticism.
The footwear, the result of a collaboration between Luisa Beccaria and Kathryn Lipman for Sandro Vicari, a historic Italian artisanal excellence, enhances the silhouettes through unexpected colours and materials, accompanying the steps of the collection.
Herbarium comes to life in the spaces of Milan’s Acquario Civico, immersed in the greenery of its garden and the forms of its Liberty-style architecture, where the building’s decorative elements become a natural extension of the collection. The fluidity of the garments dialogues with the surrounding environment, blending fashion and nature.
The dresses become landscapes to inhabit, fragments of a garden to carry with you. The collection is a living book of nature according to Luisa Beccaria, a botanical and voluptuous world
that, season after season, continues to bloom.
