There’s theatrical — and then there’s Giuseppe Di Morabito. At Milan Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2026 showcase, his latest collection, The Fall of Icarus, wasn’t just fashion — it was poetry on a runway.

Even hand-crocheted accents, made by Di Morabito’s own mother. It’s fashion, sure — but it’s also storytelling through sweat, salt and soul.
