Under Creative Director David Koma, Blumarine’s Pre-Fall 2026 collection unfolds in la Serenissima. Nocturnal Venice, the City of Masks, becomes both muse and setting, channeling a feminine Venetian spirit that is erotic, hedonistic, and steeped in fantasy.

In signature Koma fashion, dark romanticism runs through the collection’s Baroque dress codes: an opulent palette of red, lavender, pale blue, and black; billowing gowns and capes; and gilded hardware, with buttons adorned by lion, mask, and rose motifs. Echoing Versace’s creative legacy, the collection nods to historic collaborations and campaigns, from Helmut Newton to Albert Watson’s iconic 1992 Venice shoot.

The collection ranges from mini and maxi georgette dresses to fur-collared wool and alpaca coats to intricate lace bodysuits in risqué high-cut silhouettes. Rose-and-thorn motifs run throughout the season’s fabrics, along with ornate layered lace and taffeta, ruffled in skirts and gowns festooned with three-dimensional crimped, spiraled roses. The lion appears as the season’s mascot, on tees and hidden embellishments, an ode to the Italian city’s heraldic icon.

In typical Blumarine whims—and Venetian masquerade dress codes—the Pre-Fall collection’s looks are accessorized with fantastical winged-butterfly masks and sunglasses. Across the whole collection, each look is paired with a sheer, colored tight and sharp stiletto heel.

Like the city that inspires it, the Pre-Fall 2026 collection is riddled with contrast—lace and leather, soft and subversive, fluid and sculpted, mysterious and exposed. The thematic fantasy slips into Koma’s Blumarine reality, where guards have been lowered, and the wardrobe emerges with confidence and allure.
