For Spring-Summer 2026, Gianvito Rossi envisions a collection of dreamscape fantasies where elegance drifts across imagined horizons and craftsmanship transforms reverie into reality.
At its heart is Sofia, a new heel defined by graceful proportions, conceived by the Creative Director together with his daughter, from whom it takes its name. Just as the stiletto became an emblem of the House, Sofia is destined to carry its legacy into a new era of lasting beauty.
The palette gleams with aloe green, freesia and rose gold, in metallic leathers that recall the sheen of light. Sensuous sandals for a modern siren’s disco night glisten like shifting tides, while silver snake-effect textures enrich the play of colours.
Three couture-like designs stand out with dramatic allure: a mule in rainbow metallic leather, inspired by the iridescent layers of seashells; a hand-embroidered sandal with pearls and sequins to suggest the glistening skin of a sea anemone; and another adorned with satin and tulle petals, unfurling like sea flowers in rose gold, green or black. Embroidery extends beyond the shoe, forming soft volumes that drift around the wearer like a delicate cloud.
