Aldo Maria Camillo presented Forme, his Spring Summer 2027 collection, during Paris Fashion Week. The season arrived with Archive Edition, an exhibition project that extends the collection’s research into art, image and transformation. The collection and exhibition ask what remains of our time and what we have learned to see.
SPRING SUMMER 2027
Camillo’s creative project begins with art, material and construction. His formation in visual arts and his connection to painter Manlio Rondoni shape the logic of the collection. Brushstroke and stitching share a method here: each one transforms matter through layering, touch and removal. Forme uses that idea to examine how tailoring can carry material, construction and meaning within one garment.
The collection uses subtraction as a design method. Camillo removes excess to clarify proportion, structure and line. This discipline gives the garments their quiet force. The silhouettes follow the body without restriction, allowing presence and movement to guide the cut. Jackets carry natural shoulders and light internal structures that support a vertical fall. Trousers use generous volumes in Italian wools and structured cottons, holding precision and motion within the same shape.
Washed silk, denim, lightweight nylon, Italian wools and technical cottons form the core of the season. The palette stays close to neutral and natural tones, with pastel gabardines, technical greys, charcoal cottons and raw untreated surfaces. Unprocessed cotton gives shirts and jackets a structural base, keeping the garments close to matter before finish or polish.
Camillo extends menswear archetypes into womenswear without formal division. The body becomes a design parameter, connected directly to structure, presence and movement. This approach keeps the collection grounded in physical reality.
The collection imagery takes place in a space that recalls an artist’s studio. Works by Manlio Rondoni enter the setting and take part in the construction of the scene. Photography records the relationship between body, garment and artwork.
Archive Edition expands Forme through an exhibition project built around transformation in tailoring and art. The exhibition presents selected Manipolazioni Pittoriche by Manlio Rondoni, a series created through painterly intervention on fashion editorial imagery. Luca Rondoni’s curatorial vision identifies transformation as the point of contact between Aldo Maria Camillo’s tailoring research and Manlio Rondoni’s Manipolazioni Pittoriche. “Art is not inherited. We only inherit the possibility not to betray it,” says Luca Rondoni.
