“The Grand Master Collection”
il Black & White come essenza del contrasto
On the occasion of Milan Fashion Week, Fratelli Rossetti unveils the new Women’s Fall-Winter 2026/27 collection. This year, the brand’s narrative sheds the superfluous to embrace the chromatic rigor of Black & White, a dualism that becomes a manifesto of absolute elegance and artisanal mastery. The interplay of black and white also represents the meeting point between Fratelli Rossetti and Campomarzio70, the renowned fragrance brand celebrating its centenary this year.
The entire presentation is conceived as a total immersion into a monochromatic universe. The showroom itself is transformed: the setup reflects the theme of the collection, using black and white not merely as colors, but as architectural tools to enhance the spaces and highlight the soul of each individual creation. Interwoven with the thematic concept of the presentation is Mind Games, a fragrance collection inspired by the game of chess, expressing this duality through a binary Black & White aesthetic. A curated selection of fragrances has been paired with the signature footwear featured at the event, identified through a harmonious dialogue. To explore this connection more deeply, each guest will be guided through a sensory journey that completes the synesthetic experience.
For Fratelli Rossetti, the iconic Brera loafer, a timeless symbol of the Maison, becomes the spokesperson for the season’s most sophisticated craftsmanship, presented in three emblematic variations that stand as a true style statement.
Brera Cut: A celebration of rigorous symmetry. This version features a central seam running along the entire upper, intersected transversely by a series of stitches that create a checkerboard effect. It is offered both in leather, for a bold look, and in a new Curly fabric version that softens its lines.
Brera Check: Here the checkerboard theme reaches its highest artisanal expression. The pattern is not printed but created through meticulous hand inlay work of two contrasting leathers, merging black and white in a perfect geometric embrace.
Brera Intreccio Curly: A tactile and visual interplay of “solids and voids.” The brand’s historic woven technique is layered over a Curly fabric base: the leather weave reveals the softness beneath, creating a striking material contrast and unique three-dimensional depth.
“With this collection, we wanted to return to the essence of craftsmanship. Black & White becomes the perfect frame to highlight the complexity of our manual workmanship,” state brothers Diego, Dario, and Luca Rossetti.
The choice of black and white is deliberate: it aims to emphasize structure and material quality. From the precision of laser cuts to the enveloping softness of shearling-effect fabrics, every detail of the FW 26/27 collection reaffirms Fratelli Rossetti’s positioning as a pioneer of discreet yet deeply distinctive luxury. A true stylistic “chessboard,” defined by refined contrasts, clean lines, and a balance between tradition and innovation. An immersive journey that brings together footwear, artistic perfumery, and aesthetic strategy.
The Milan presentation invites visitors to rediscover the value of time and the human touch, along a path where style meets geometry and tradition projects itself into the future.
For over seventy years, Fratelli Rossetti has stood out for its ability to combine craftsmanship and innovation, leading both small and major revolutions in the fashion landscape. A journey that continues today with coherence and renewed energy, always under the banner of the unmistakable elegance that defines the brand.
The collaboration with Berlucchi Franciacorta continues. For over half a century, the winery has operated from its historic headquarters at Palazzo Lana. It was here, in 1961, that Guido Berlucchi and oenologist Franco Ziliani created the first Franciacorta produced using the traditional method. Today, the company—led by Franco Ziliani’s children, Cristina, Arturo, and Paolo—is a benchmark of the DOCG appellation and synonymous with modern, sustainable winemaking research. In 2024, it received the recognition of Historic Brand of National Interest, backed by more than 60 years of history.
Campomarzio70 is a landmark in the landscape of Italian and international artistic perfumery. Born in Rome in 1940 as a family workshop dedicated to the distribution of cosmetic products, over the years the company has become a protagonist in spreading contemporary olfactory culture, promoting independent brands and excellence in sensory research projects. Today, Campomarzio70 is a reality that blends tradition and innovation, with boutiques in Italy's main cities and collaborations with the most prestigious perfumery and design houses. Its mission is to guide people on a journey to discover their identity through fragrance, understood as a personal language, aesthetic experience, and form of art.
