Spring 26 — 'Sempre Avanti'
Sempre Avanti. The phrase appears simple. Yet beneath its brevity lies a rich idealogical and philosophical orientation to existence. Not merely an optimistic slogan, but a worldview of motion and resilience, to know that understanding is a perpetual pursuit. Sempre Avanti is to accept that life unfolds continually through uncertainty, and meaning emerges from persistence.
At its core, Sempre Avanti rejects finality. The sentiment feels especially resonant in the Year of the Horse. Long a symbol of endurance, direction, and momentum, the horse moves instinctively ahead, never back. It is this spirit that guides our Spring collection: a season defined not by pause, but by anticipation.
Spring is a season where we look to the front, where we await the striking kaleidoscope of hues to come from the summer season, while remaining grounded in discipline and craft, to do what we do best with our solid foundations.
Equestrian life has always left its imprint on menswear. Many of the garments we now consider classics were born from the saddle, shaped by movement, durability, and function. Over time, necessity refined itself into form. Always forward.
A key highlight this season is our reimagining of cavalry twill. Rooted in equestrian tradition and reworked through textile innovation, it reflects the house’s quiet obsession with adapting heritage fabrics for new contexts.
Traditionally a heavyweight cloth defined by its durability and pronounced double diagonal weave, cavalry twill is reinterpreted here in a breathable, spring-appropriate weight. Woven with high-twist yarns and a more open construction, it offers comfort from spring through summer and into early autumn, positioning it firmly as a true three-season material.
We also reintroduce the barn jacket, a piece naturally at home in the stables and countryside, yet equally suited to urban travel when rendered in modern technical cloths. Once again, in technical ‘sueded’ cloth, building on its predecessor in Bistre, the jacket returns in historically inspired tones that feel both familiar and refreshed.
This collection is a representation of a continuation. A quiet extension of an ongoing dialogue between past and present, function and form, intention and wear. There is no final point of arrival. Only movement, adjustment, and the steady refinement that comes with time.
Spring, then, is not simply a beginning, but a reminder: that that purpose reveals itself through continuity. A season shaped by movement, intention, and the quiet confidence to keep going — Sempre Avanti.
