READ MORE
With DECO-N-STRUCT, Alberto Zambelli proposes a reflection on form as a universal language, inspired by Le Corbusier’s L’angle droit. The right angle becomes an emblem of balance and integration between opposites: vertical and horizontal, light and dark, masculine and feminine, earth and water. The collection is structured as a poetic synthesis between architecture and the plastic arts, where geometric rigor and organic fluidity coexist in a constant dialogue. Clean lines coexist with large, dynamic volumes, while macro-ruffles transform linearity into curves, creating rhythm and sculptural movement. In the new collection, East and West dialogue harmoniously: the ample volumes of dresses and jackets are designed and crafted with excellent materials, such as ultra-soft nappa leathers that mold to the body and iromuji silks that, following ancient tradition, are dyed with earth, giving shape to elegant and feminine kimonos and kaftans. DECO-N-STRUCT proposes itself as a reinterpretation of geometry not as an abstract calculation, but as a vital and harmonious experience, a balance that connects the microcosm and the macrocosm, restoring form and beauty to man and the universe. Knitwear made from natural yarns is elevated in cottons with very light finesses, with a gauze appearance or in refined materials such as “fuku yarn” paper made from Manila hemp. Fur effects created with ultra-soft cottons, perforated raffias and fluid viscose complete the harmony of the volumes.

The Spring/Summer 2026 collection features seat belts reclaimed from decommissioned
cars, used both structurally and as distinctive design elements for handles, straps, and details. Paired with eco-sustainable fabrics derived from vegetable processing waste, including apple-based textiles, these materials strike a balance between durability, high performance, and environmental responsibility. The collection includes genderless bags and backpacks designed for everyday versatility: working bag, backpack, camera bag, tote, shopping, and weekender. Each piece reflects a minimalist yet functional aesthetic, crafted with purpose and attention to detail. The color palette combines classic tones like cognac and terracotta with soft pastel hues such as petal pink and sage green, enriched by bold accents of ocean blue for a touch of vibrancy. Prints are inspired by Optical Art (Op Art), a graphic movement from the 1960s–70s known for creating visual illusions and perceptual tension. The featured “Quadrettatura” print reinterprets the work of Alighiero Boetti, Aldo Mondino, and Superstudio’s modular architecture. Applied directly to the product, it delivers a bold, contemporary visual language that fuses architectural precision with playful disruption. This collection redefines sustainable design through a unique blend of upcycling, innovation, and timeless style. 959NINEFIVENINE embraces sustainability through sustainable materials (upcycled, recycled, plant-based), local sourcing, Made in Italy production, respect for people, and zero-km logistics.

SOUTH, inspired as a capsule for Motorsport and dropped together with drivers of Ferrari, is not just a collection. It is an idea. An idea of escape, of connection, of suspended time. It speaks to the human need to disconnect, to rediscover oneself through others. It is a weekend among friends, but also an act of rebellion against frenzy. The ultra-thin sole shoe is not just about technique: it is perception, it is contact with the ground, it is freedom. The sneaker reinterprets the Car Shoe, but goes beyond it, embracing a broader concept of travel — physical, but also emotional and cultural. SOUTH is also a manifesto of transparency. A conscious journey through the Italian supply chain: from Montebelluna, where the sole takes shape, to Tuscany, where we use certified leathers, treated without chrome and with respect for animal welfare, and finally to Lecce, in the deep South, where hospitality meets precision, craftsmanship, and the most authentic soul of Made in Italy. SOUTH speaks of truth — a truth that establishes itself as the new definition of luxury. No longer ostentation, but authenticity. No longer excess, but awareness. An object is never born by chance. It is the expression of a thought. SOUTH is that thought.

The Vision of SCORIE is a Vision of transcendence. Man is no longer the master of his destiny, but a humble follower of Nature. In a world where he has ended up annihilating himself and the land on which he lives, the garments become Icons of a cult of matter, a reminder that the future is the consequence of the waste of the past, shaped by new Consciousness.

AURA, 2025
The women’s F/W Aura accessories collection stems from an in-depth research into materials and artisanal techniques, aiming to create an emotional dialogue between body and material through color and texture. In this collection, accessories are not mere complements but central characters in a visual and tactile narrative, designed to accompany the wearer in a unique sensory experience. At the heart of the design process is a careful study of raw materials and production techniques, viewed as a flexible and three-dimensional language. The selection of materials starts from a thorough examination of their tactile qualities and expressive potential, favoring the use of natural leathers and fabrics that can mold and adapt to the body, responding to its shapes and emotions. Color becomes a key element to convey emotion and identity, calibrated to enhance the threedimensionality of the craftsmanship and to establish an intimate connection with the wearer. The palette is designed to create harmonies and contrasts that tell personal stories and amplify the presence of each piece. The Aura collection is therefore a sensory and material journey that unites tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and experimentation, creating unique accessories that serve as ambassadors of a profound dialogue between body, color, and material.
