Between nostalgia, tailoring and cinematic references, Stefano Gallici uses Ann Demeulemeester’s Resort 2027 collection to sharpen the silhouette and set the tone for what comes next.
After several seasons shaping his vision for Ann Demeulemeester, Stefano Gallici is ready to move it forward. Conceived as a prelude to his upcoming Paris Fashion Week show, Resort 2027 leaves behind the slouchier silhouettes of recent collections in favour of cleaner tailoring, sharper proportions and a more defined wardrobe.
Rather than revisiting the house archive, Gallici filters its romantic spirit through his own references, from early 2000s rock bohemia to antique eveningwear and films including ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’ and ‘East of Eden’. The collection feels like a wardrobe built over time, where pieces gathered from different eras naturally coexist.
That evolution is reflected in slimmer double-breasted jackets, cropped leather bikers and tailored flared trousers. Lace, faded florals and airy cottons soften Prince of Wales tailoring, washed denim and military-inspired jackets, while subtle nods to 1920s menswear sit alongside Edwardian-inspired evening dresses.
Standout pieces include a varsity jacket embroidered with ‘Farewell Ballad’, a workwear reinterpretation of James Dean‘s iconic red jacket and a black open-back slip dress. Rather than proposing a complete reset, Gallici invites wearers to mix these new additions with the clothes they already own, reinforcing the idea that Resort 2027 is less about reinvention than a confident step towards what comes next.
