Francesco Arduini presents the New Womenswear & Menswear Accessories Collection "Les Folies de Bazaarìa" Spring/Summer 2026

 

Francesco Arduini is an Italian luxury brand Designed for Timeless Glamour. It draws its vitality from an oxymoronic synthesis that plays on the concept of Timeless, as a revolutionary necessity to be embraced in an industry marked by the transience of rapidly changing trends and an inner strength capable of ensuring a garment’s enduring quality over time, and the concept of Glamour, as the manifestation of a strong personality in search of a truly iconic and imaginative Lifestyle.

 

Les Folies de Bazaarìa - Spring Summer 2026 Collection
The Collection is a project born of a passionate introspection into one’s own emotions, centring on the transcendental personification of the Eternal Feminine Force and Vanity, embodied in the figure of Bazaarìa and her bizarre visions. It presents a contemporary interpretation of volumes, sensations and materials with a more seductive and retro-chic flavour, further heightened by a mysterious, bewitching and hyper-decorated vision with a touch of Exotique Extravagance. The development of the Collection has allowed the excellence of Francesco Arduini’s fashion sector to be combined with the excellence of Cardo Roma and its restaurant Vertici. This synergy has made it possible to express all the values underpinning the Collection in iconic shots curated by photographer Emanuele Tetto, featuring Roman model Olivia Maspes. A complex, multifaceted project, skilfully enhanced by the styling by Angelica Mattogno and the make-up by Giada Curreri.

The Essence of Forms
The logo fully embodies the brand’s essence with fragmentation and sinuous lines serving as a visual key to its complete expression. It stems from the vision of an Italian-American jewellery designer who has successfully translated the brand’s character into a minimalist stylisation. Francesco Arduini is the result of a careful exploration of the past and an irresistible need to translate his chameleonic essence into a bold, cultured, contemporary and glamorous vision.

The Inclusivity Revolution
The brand is a firm believer in the concept of Inclusivity, upholding all its values relating to Body Conscious fashion. The product is designed as a one-size-fits-all garment, with the aim of moving away from the conventional sizes found on labels and, in most cases, adapting to different body shapes through skilful stylistic choices and pattern-making techniques.

The Luxury in Tailoring
The garments are made in small local workshops and crafted by skilled hands, using traditional tailoring techniques. The company’s ethos embraces the concept of No Waste as a policy against the waste of raw materials, minimising the amount of fabric required during production whilst fostering a spirit of human sharing and collaboration. The concept of Ethical Sustainability is a fundamental and revolutionary element, avoiding excessive wastage of labour in the development and production of goods relative to demand, thereby imparting a subtle sense of exclusive prestige.

The Essence of Matter
The sourcing of raw materials is one of the key aspects in the development of a collection, and the selection process is always meticulous, thorough and guided, as far as possible, by the principles of Sustainability and Certification. The products are made from fabrics derived mainly from natural fibres or from technical blends where the natural fibre predominates as far as possible. Thanks to modern technological advances, man-made and synthetic fibres are intelligently utilised for performance-related purposes linked to the use of the product itself.
