Nahmias Greets Spring/Summer 2027 With “Patina”

Named for the character materials acquire over time, the collection finds value in wear, memory, and the stories time leaves behind

For Spring/Summer 2027, Doni Nahmias explores the marks left by time, drawing from childhood memories, traditional craftsmanship, and the emotional significance that clothing accumulates through years of use. The collection embraces character over perfection, celebrating garments shaped by experience.

That idea is embedded directly into the materials. Suedes are aged in-house to achieve the richness and depth typically earned through years of wear, while faded denim, painted trousers, and distressed cottons transform signs of use into points of beauty. Throughout the collection, surfaces carry the visual language of garments that have developed a history.

Beyond the materials themselves, Patina looks to childhood as a source of inspiration. Handmade lace recalls the imperfect charm of school art projects, while crochet techniques evoke a sense of curiosity and creativity. Denim pieces feature details inspired by temporary tattoos, translating fleeting symbols of youth into refined design elements that balance nostalgia with craftsmanship.

That emphasis on craftsmanship extends beyond reference into practice. Handwoven styles produced in Peru highlight generations of artisanal knowledge and reinforce the collection’s emphasis on time, skill, and human touch. In an industry increasingly driven by speed and disposability, these pieces serve as a reminder of the value of making things slowly and intentionally.

The collection’s silhouettes continue that dialogue between memory and making. Vintage basketball jerseys, washed sportswear, patchwork leather outerwear, and relaxed tailoring draw from familiar references while maintaining the elevated construction and precision that define the brand. The balance between ease and craftsmanship remains central, creating a wardrobe that feels effortless yet considered, nostalgic yet distinctly modern.
