For Resort 2026, Armarium unveils Vespera—a poetic departure that reimagines the codes of nightwear through the lens of refined emotional dressing. Under the creative direction of Giorgia Gabriele, the collection embraces the evening not as an end, but as a transformative threshold—a realm where stillness meets possibility, and sensuality is articulated through silence and structure.

Rather than adhering to the traditional narratives of loungewear, Vespera channels intimacy and introspection into garments that live beyond the bedroom. Draped silks, artfully exposed construction, and whisper-soft textures speak to an elegance that feels instinctive and undone. It’s a language of clothing that reveals rather than masks, echoing the quiet tension of twilight hours.#

A standout piece—a jet-black sheath dress traced with tubular glass and crystal fringe—perfectly captures the balance between softness and architecture. Its open back, gently obscured by origami-folded panels, blurs the line between vulnerability and strength. This attention to unexpected detail continues throughout the collection, where bra straps become adjustable laces and hidden tailoring becomes ornament, elevating utility to ornamentation.

Silhouettes lean into duality—structured tuxedos, fluid knit dresses, flared leather skirts—all unified by a sense of exposure, both literal and emotional. The palette is moody and nuanced: anthracite, obsidian, metallic silver, and Oxford blue are grounded by warm neutrals, while a sharp pop of scarlet in striped poplin adds a jolt of vitality.

Accessories echo the narrative: mussel-shell brooches, sculptural rope jewelry, and delicate footwear that ranges from suede-lined ballerinas to minimalist sandals, each piece reinforcing a sense of intentional contrast.

With Vespera, Gabriele doesn’t chase spectacle—she distills it. The result is a collection of haunting grace and intellectual allure, designed for women who understand that presence need not be loud to be commanding.
