The fluid lines of nature meet the precision of urban geometry in Roberta Redaelli’s new Fall/Winter 2026–27 collection.
Papilio is a contemporary collection where the tangible world—expressed through richly textured tartan jacquards—dialogues with the metaphysical dimension revealed in prints where the bold, structured lines of traditional tartans dissolve into the fluid movements of the natural world. This interplay of composition and deconstruction is enriched by intricate details inspired by the delicate patterns of a butterfly’s wing, observed through an emotional microscope.
The colour palette evokes the essence of autumn: the warmth of a home vegetable garden infused with an exotic twist. Rich, enveloping shades create a sophisticated and versatile harmony, blending bold elegance with unexpected yet authentic combinations. Designed for those who love to experiment with colour, these hues transform even the most everyday look into a statement of personality and style. Chestnut, artichoke, mahonia, pumpkin and beetroot become colours to wear—and stories to tell.
Ageless in spirit, the collection strikes a balance between essential design and versatility through effortless mix-and-match combinations of contrasting materials—from stretch silk to denim, from the brand’s signature DINAMI-TECS knit fabric to new, more structured textiles—all brought together with timeless patchworks of refined prints.
Like a butterfly, Roberta Redaelli’s fashion is in constant evolution. It embraces continuous metamorphosis to reflect the changing world and the needs of today’s women, while remaining true to its unmistakable originality and distinctive identity.
Complementing the main collection is a special surprise: the Basic Have capsule, featuring youthful, street-inspired pieces crafted in denim and silk, elevated by refined and unexpected details. A true gem for those who see fashion as a language of self-expression.
Papilio is a vibrant, irresistible collection—delightfully spirited, just like a Pumpkin Spice Latte—and waiting to be discovered.
