In his Resort 2026 collection, Fausto Puglisi continues to redefine the visual language of Roberto Cavalli, distilling bold expression into a wardrobe that walks the fine line between escapist glamour and joyful clarity. With 37 distinct looks, the collection unfolds as a confident, color-charged narrative that captures both the electricity of celebrity dressing and the quiet rebellion of reimagined heritage.

Fresh from the red carpet—where Tyla wore Cavalli like a second skin and Carla Bruni channeled sculpted elegance—Puglisi pivots once again. This season draws inspiration from his recent creative pilgrimage to Mexico City, where the chromatic architecture of Condesa and a serendipitous encounter with a 1994 Jeff Koons catalogue catalyzed a renewed embrace of geometric color-blocking. The result is an aesthetic departure that feels personal yet entirely aligned with the current cultural mood: optimistic, legible, and grounded in joy.

Puglisi interweaves this prism of modern color with Cavalli’s legacy of wild seduction. Acid brights clash delightfully with animalier prints across slip dresses and oversized car coats, while denim—a Cavalli cornerstone—is elevated through artisanal manipulation. One standout piece: stone-washed jeans fused with leopard chiffon, offering a raw edge to sensuality. Another: a floral slip dress cinched with denim corsetry laced up the spine—a poetic contradiction that commands attention both coming and going.

Throughout the collection, there’s a refined tension between heritage and reinvention. Puglisi trades opulent tropical florals for English garden bouquets, and reimagines tailoring in electric jacquard hues, nodding to recent celebrity muses like Jane Fonda. These aren’t just garments—they’re extensions of charisma, engineered for movement, memory, and presence.

In stepping outside the expected, Puglisi charts a new course for Cavalli—one where audacity is filtered through clarity, and where glamour doesn't demand decoding. Resort 2026 becomes a manifesto of vibrant precision: seductive, wearable, and above all, joyful.
