Marques’Almeida brought its signature grunge attitude to Milan Fashion Week for Spring 2027, making its debut in the Italian fashion capital with a collection that puts party dressing in a different light. Designers Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida have been experimenting with occasionwear, but they’re not abandoning the undone aesthetic that made their label a favorite among London’s fashion crowd. Taffeta tops came with exaggerated peplums and barrel-leg trousers, while handkerchief dresses featured angular side panels and cargo miniskirts trailed long panels of velvety silk.
The dressier pieces had plenty of personality. Shantung sundresses featured oversized ruffles, silver sequins covered evening trousers, and bias-cut dresses came with dramatic draping and irregular hemlines. Bows erupted from shoulders, while lace tailoring and jacquard fabrics introduced another layer of decoration. Yet the styling never felt overly polished. A floor-length slipdress appeared with chunky platform sneakers, and scarf-like tops were wrapped around the torso over flowing silk dresses.
The brand’s East London roots remained visible through offbeat plaid dresses, military green bustiers worn with baggy trousers and fitted Lycra bodysuits paired with balloon skirts. Denim also returned in draped dresses and garment-dyed pieces, keeping a familiar part of the label’s identity in the picture. Even the more elaborate looks, including those finished with ostrich feathers, had something slightly rebellious about them. It’s partywear for someone who would rather arrive a little undone than perfectly put together.
