A visit to Magliano’s Instagram page reveals the brand’s mission statement in three provocative words: “Fucked up classics.” The cheeky slogan neatly encapsulates Luca Magliano’s design philosophy — one driven by a visible pleasure in crafting garments that are, in his own words, “precise in their chaos”.
Over the past few years, Magliano’s fascination with Italian provincial elegance has made a notable impact on Milan’s fashion scene. Now, the designer enters a new chapter, relocating his runway to Paris and unveiling a more streamlined vision that becomes less location-specific.
Titled Unplugged, the Fall/Winter 2026 collection excelled in outerwear and tailoring, showcasing Magliano’s unrivalled ability to make slouchy silhouettes read as deeply sensual. Roomy trousers and V-neck sweaters were reworked with literal twists: collars and waistbands curled inward, disrupting familiar proportions. XXL leather belts sat low on the hips, elongating the body, while an oversized wool blazer channelled just the right amount of ’80s macho bravado.
Magliano’s signature humour and social commentary surfaced throughout. A red silk shirt printed with tangled bunches of keys shared space with a chunky wool cardigan adorned with “ABCD” lettering — the “A” standing for Antifa, complete with the movement’s logo.
Elsewhere, refinement came deliberately undone: scarves emerged through slits in jacket collars, and the final look — a mismatched, oversized double-breasted suit — was punctuated by an untied bow tie, left hanging as a final gesture of dishevelled elegance.
