Malo Spring Summer 2027, The Architecture of Lightness, expands the house’s restoration through product: knitwear, outerwear, tailoring, color and the technical intelligence of Italian making. The collection reduces weight, construction and touch on the body while preserving the definition and form that give Malo garments their character.
SPRING SUMMER 2027
The season draws energy from tensions inside the Malo process. Structure meets fluidity, expertise meets instinct, and discipline meets emotion. Architectural outerwear and sculptural ergonomic blouses create a defined line, while soleil pleating, foulard inspired skirts and one shoulder dresses adapt to the body as it moves. Malo treats these garments as vehicles for emotion, pleasure and confidence, giving summer dressing both control and softness.
For Spring Summer 2027, the house applies more than five decades of archive stitches, gauges and treatments to a contemporary silhouette. The Canessa cable and the signature 2/28 cashmere braid bring cable constructions back into focus. English ribs, openwork, fully fashioned details and bi color ottoman knits show the precision of Malo’s fine gauge work.
A rare vintage machine in Malo’s Emilia Romagna atelier gives the collection exceptional lightness and exactitude. It produces pure silk ribs, cashmere capes with cocoon light volume and wool and silk constructions with an almost weightless hand.
Hand crocheted details from Puglia add another layer to the collection. They move through malfilé cashmere and cotton knits, ribbed surfaces and openwork pieces, bringing slow artisanal production into direct contact with the body. Malo also uses innovation to refresh tradition. A diagonal jacquard reproduces the look of denim while remaining fully knitted.
Ultra light technical nylon, slub viscose, water repellent coated linen and garment washed Japanese cotton denim appear alongside mélange mixes of cotton, silk and linen. These surfaces carry a naturally irregular, lived in depth. Double face construction, one of Malo’s specialisms, reveals checked or contrasting interiors. Detachable knit collars and signature wooden toggles bring the house’s outerwear codes into the summer season.
A nautical current runs through the collection. Eyelets and slub viscose draw from sailing, while rope and ring closures add a maritime function. Soleil pleated dresses feature cords made from the garment’s own yarn, and toggles take cues from seafaring tradition.
The house treats cashmere as a field for chromatic expression, and Spring Summer 2027 extends that approach. Saturated oranges and marine blues meet sun bleached creams, soft naturals and earthen browns. Bi color pleating, mouliné stripes, striped intarsia and vanisé techniques allow color to travel across each garment.
“For Summer 2027, we worked to take Malo’s deep knowledge of knitwear and articulate it through lightness, movement and precision. The result is a collection distinguished by proportion, color and construction, in which cashmere and noble fibers are treated as a complete language of ready-to-wear,” said Michelle Kessler-Sanders, CEO.
