PRESS RELEASE FW26
Un voyage d’artistes créé avec amour
For the Fall Winter 2026 season, Seafarer continues its evolutionary path under the creative direction of Manuela Mariotti, unveiling a collection that intertwines heritage and contemporary vision.
Un Voyage d’Artistes - créé avec amour is a poetic manifesto: a journey between memory and experimentation, where the language of tailoring meets a freer, at times underground aesthetic. Silhouettes inspired by the 1950s are reinterpreted through bold, modern proportions. Defined waists and structured shoulders shape shirts and jackets, outlining a strong, self-aware figure with an almost androgynous elegance. Tailoring becomes a graphic statement: visible seams, raw cuts, exposed linings, and inner contrasts emerge from essential lines as a deliberate choice.
The color palette underscores the dialogue between different registers. Shades of grey accompany the more experimental side, featuring raw-edged fabrics and deconstructed details infused with an urban attitude. Browns, on the other hand, evoke a warmer, more nostalgic imagery, with softer lines and refined materials: fine lace, upholstery-inspired jacquards, and fluid overdyed fabrics add tactile depth to the collection. Proportions play a central role: cropped styles, bombers, and short jackets interact with mini and midi skirts, creating a dynamic balance between structure and lightness. Femininity emerges through contrasts - strength and delicacy, rigor and movement.
The heritage spirit is expressed through an essential research process, beginning with the selection of a traditional English cloth with a rustic, textural character that reconnects the brand to its roots. The sporty component - featuring its iconic blues, reds, and whites - evolves into a more sophisticated key through modern peacoats crafted in double-faced wool, capable of combining comfort and refinement.
The new collection by Seafarer thus takes shape as an artistic journey in which each garment becomes an expression of balance between nostalgia and imagination, sartorial discipline and creative freedom. An identity that grows stronger season after season through attention to detail and the value of craftsmanship.
