Collezione 06 NIENTE
Reuse, recycle, reimagine – these are the core tenets of the Spring/Summer 2026 Moschino collection by creative director Adrian Appiolaza. To reuse is to repurpose, recalibrate and reevaluate. To recycle is to reconsider, reappraise and reclaim. To reimagine is to revitalize, reconceptualize and redefine. All have their inherent place within the panorama of fashion, and the framework of a heritage house – where a future is born from respect and reconsideration of a past, where newness can be found in that which surrounds.
Niente – much made with little. The ethos of the Arte Povera movement – quintessentially Italian, anarchic and ironic – is less inspiration than kindred spirit, aligned with the philosophies of Franco Moschino and alive still in the house that bears his name. That movement’s core belief systems – a return to simplicity, the meaning in the quotidian, nature alongside industry, dynamic energy – is translated to a collection that pays homage to the sheer ingenuity of the creative act as a means of transformation.
In turn, to recycle is to rediscover. References to Moschino’s heritage, to the Smiley, his trompe l’oeil effects, his newspaper prints of the early 1990s, today updated with our good news. His always-ironic take on the contemporaneous. And now as then, there is an obsessive love for fashion, insomuch as fashion as true expression of imagination – a playfulness and a play with clothes.
This collection is a discovery – of the wonder in the everyday, the something within “nothing”.
