Romance Disrupted

A quiet dialog between eras: Avant Toi's spring/summer 2026 pre-collection moves between the refined romanticism of the 19th century and the free, imperfect language of today. This tension gives rise to silhouettes that interweave past and present to create something timeless.

Delicate chiffon layers, muted colors, softly flowing drapes - inspired by historical garments, reinterpreted in airy dresses, soft shirts and light skirts. Details such as covered buttons, raw edges, metallic finishes and deliberately irregular surfaces lend the pieces a lived-in depth.

Every surface, whether hand-painted, dyed or crinkled, tells of movement, transformation and a look inwards. The color palette alternates between vanilla, wisteria, dusty blue and earthy tones such as fango and fiume, delicate and powerful at the same time. Stretch suede, silk scarves, ties and obi belts complete the look.
