At Stromboli, there is always a latent eruption. The black of its sands, the agave that survives on the edge of the crater, the constant feeling that something is about to explode, because in fact the volcano may do so. In this landscape is built the scenario that David Koma has chosen to define the new Blumarine woman. A woman who, like the volcano, lives in a controlled eruption.
Thus was born the Resort 2026 collection, where the spirit of the Milanese girl meets the calmer and more relaxed energy of the beach. Zebra prints, revived by Koma from the archive, appear on tunics, cardigans and georgette dresses. Agave flowers – native to Stromboli – are hand-embroidered on sheer fabrics that reveal a glimpse of skin. There are jackets that emulate bathrobes, as if the Blumarine woman were ready, because she is, to take a walk in the city after a good bath. There are also denim, bomber jackets, and cotton suits with a more urban spirit. And the brand’s logo suddenly appears on a giant towel that is introduced as a dress.
But beyond the narrative, what is surprising in this collection is the purification of Blumarine’s aesthetic language. If in previous seasons there was already a glimpse of a turn towards the refined, here a new stage is consolidated: less excess and more sophistication. An evolution that does not deny the historical identity of the brand, but translates it with more refinement.
With this collection, David Koma continues to shape the Blumarine identity. Gone is the innocent fantasy of the butterflies of the nineties. What he proposes now is a more adult and refined woman who, like Stromboli, is unpredictable, powerful and magnetic.
