Missoni Fall 2026

In the ever-churning world of content creators, algorithms have a way of spotlighting certain personalities. Lately, that’s been David Carmi, known online as “confidenceheist,” who stops strangers with the question, “What makes you confident?” If he had been in Milan for Missoni’s Fall 2026 show, he would have found his answer. Creative director Alberto Caliri sent out a lineup of women who wore confidence like a uniform, their poise speaking louder than any of the house’s signature zigzags.

The collection’s strength lay in structure and layering. Shoulders were broad, silhouettes assured, and outerwear dominated the story. Roomy martingale coats, oversize shearling jackets, and patterned bombers gave the looks their backbone, while mannish pleated trousers and leather Bermudas grounded them in attitude. Caliri’s references reached back to 1978, when Missoni first showed men’s and women’s collections together. That archival nod reappeared in a play on duality, with midi-length dresses that appeared as two pieces, combining relaxed tops with sculpted skirts to create a sense of ease and precision in equal measure.

Elsewhere, Caliri kept to Missoni’s language but modernized the tone. Knitted dresses came in graphic maxi stripes or threaded with glints of Lurex and sequins, giving texture without tipping into nostalgia. This was confidence made tangible: a wardrobe for women who don’t need to perform to be noticed. Missoni’s famous patterns were still there, quietly woven in, but the message this season was about attitude — understated, strong, and entirely self-assured.
