Berluti presents its Summer 2027 collection, Impressions et Sensations, at the Simone and Cino Del Duca Foundation for the third year in a row. The Maison uses the late 19th century townhouse overlooking Parc Monceau to show the ideas, techniques and creative choices behind its world. The Foundation carries the cultural vision of Simone and Cino Del Duca under the Institut de France and supports the arts, literature and sciences through the annual Prix Mondial Cino Del Duca.
SPRING SUMMER 2027
The location creates a clear link with Berluti. Simone and Cino Del Duca built a story across Italy and France, while Berluti also draws from both countries. A family from the Marche region founded the Maison, which has developed a dialogue between Italian origins and French culture from its early years. For Summer 2027, Berluti brings that exchange into a presentation shaped by the garden, from first idea to finished object.
The season follows two paths. One side gathers images, emotions and references that fuel creation. The other side translates those ideas into shoes, garments and leather goods through Berluti’s technical knowledge. The Maison also enters a creative exchange with The Little Prince, which informs the presentation and a limited edition planned for release at the end of the year. Saint Exupéry’s story brings attention to nature, living things and details that give meaning to life.
Visitors enter through a sensory prelude with melted wax, the sound of footsteps and three heels in different sizes. The scene connects Berluti’s shoemaking world with the idea of recognizing something unique among many. On the second floor, the Salon Monceau introduces a dialogue between what people see and what they feel. Moving images of silhouettes and objects capture fleeting moments, while Berluti pieces turn those sensations into material form.
Berluti revisits key pieces through floral detail. A daffodil emerges from the pocket of the Forestière, while an embroidered flower seems to grow from a jersey jacket. Floral motifs appear on pop over shirts, regular shirts and Scritto through print, embroidery and optical effects. A jacket with floral embroidery and laser cut details extends this direction, while the entrelacs collar on the Un Jour blouson brings several house techniques into one piece. The Galet Bloom shoe launches a curated capsule format inside the main collection and takes its shape from the arum lily. Lorenzo and Panache loafers continue Berluti’s signature line of elegant shoes through construction, materials and precise making.
In the Orange salon, small leather accessories look to Impressionist painting. Berluti selects fragments from four paintings and applies them to Un Jour, Luti, Un Jour de Poche and Toujours. Each piece suggests a garden at a different time of day, from daybreak to dusk. The patina gives Venezia leather depth through shade, transparency and layered color. The Un Jour-nal model recalls a rolled newspaper under the arm, while the Grand Jour updates the men’s tote.
A softly lit desk recalls Saint Exupéry’s writing space. Planets, drawings and display capsules connect the book’s universe with Berluti pieces. Characters and sketches appear on Un Jour, Deux Jours, Trois Nuits and the Alessandro lace up. In the library, Berluti also points to its exchange with Gallimard for the Bibliothèque de La Pléiade edition dedicated to Saint Exupéry, for which the Maison crafted patinated Venezia leather book covers and a presentation case.
The Cordoue salon turns to repair. An artisan works among restored pieces that carry owners’ memories and habits. Berluti presents these objects as companions for daily life, made to change with use. Its Aubervilliers repair atelier preserves and restores pieces, and the Maison states that artisans can repair 97 percent of Berluti products.
