Before writing this review, we revisited Niccolò Pasqualetti's past collections, trying to pin down what makes his work feel so familiar, yet so new. There’s a subtle dissonance to his approach—one that blends precise tailoring with something raw, even primal. Their Spring/Summer 2024 collection is easily our favourite to date. Especially Look 21, which stopped us in our tracks. The sculptural shape of the blazer and the immaculate styling were pure perfection.

For the Spring/Summer 2026, some of our favourite looks include a slouchy, oversized brown blazer with uneven sleeves layered over a crisp blue shirt and paired with olive green trousers. It's effortless, yet intentional—a transitional spring look that feels as comfortable on the runway as it would walking through a cool, overcast city morning. There’s also a one-button asymmetrical blazer that reads half-sleeveless, half-jacket—somewhere between deconstruction and reinvention. The arm is partly exposed, creating a hybrid silhouette that flirts with asymmetry in the best way. Styled with white trousers featuring a subtle limestone-like finish, the look pushes minimalism into an experimental territory.

Throughout the collection, Pasqualetti plays with modularity and fluidity. Some trousers came with detachable skirt overlays, blurring lines between layers and silhouettes. In other looks, bikini-style base layers—perhaps lingerie, perhaps not—added a touch of controlled subversion, hinting at sensuality beneath the looks.  The last look came with a sharp, structured cape that might just be the best piece of the entire lineup. With cutouts at the shoulders, the garment defies the usual heaviness of capes—offering lightness, shape, and a surprisingly perfect fit.

Pasqualetti’s approach to menswear feels in step with a new generation of designers who are questioning the rules rather than following them. He’s not just borrowing from womenswear for effect—he’s gently blurring the lines in a way that feels natural. His collection speaks in a quiet, considered voice, landing somewhere between structure and softness, between what we know and what’s still unfolding.
