Piacenza 1733 presents the SS 2027 collection Innovation and savoir-faire in the new Milan showroom

Piacenza 1733 presents the SS27 collection, a wardrobe that interprets contemporary elegance through quality, innovation and savoir-faire. The collection revolves around what the company considers its own cornerstone: the excellence of raw materials, research into knit stitches, and the exploration of colours and exclusive patterns. Everything begins upstream, with a selection carried forward from generation to generation in constant respect for the territories and communities of origin, built on direct and lasting relationships with certified suppliers.

Aeria is one of the season's key blends, and also one of its most ambitious. A yarn developed in-house starting from a 13.5 micron Merino wool, among the finest and rarest natural fibres nature has to offer. Brought to a lightness and softness that almost vanishes against the skin, it redefines luxury from the purity of the material itself.

Alongside it, silk combined with cashmere brings together the crisp luminosity of the former and the enveloping warmth of the latter, yielding refined and breathable garments. Silk with linen, on the other hand, aims squarely at summer, with the airy freshness of linen softened by the sheen of silk for an effortless fit. Compact cotton, sourced from Egypt, India and Turkey, seeks the balance between a dry hand and resilience, holds colour without felting, while an 18-gauge fineness smooths its surface.

There is also Supersense, a jersey likewise born from an in-house process built around Supima cotton, a variety that accounts for less than one percent of the world's harvest. Here spun for the first time in pursuit of the perfect balance between lightness, workmanship and structure. Rounding things off, a cotton and cashmere sweatshirt in which the robustness of the former and the softness of the latter coexist in a structure that is warm but never heavy.

Yet it is in the knit stitches that savoir-faire becomes mastery. The collection lines up a repertoire of constructions that look more like paintings than fabrics. The fil-à-fil diamond stitch interweaves threads of different colours in a diamond pattern that adds depth to the surface. The two-colour shadow stripe alternates two shades vertically with measured precision, while the crochet version expands the play to four tones.

The guayabera stitch borrows the vertical bands of the Caribbean shirt and reweaves them into crossed intarsia cables, a relief that marks the knit like a rhythm. And the two-tone wavy stripe blends one colour into the other to achieve a degradé effect that seems to move on its own, with the naturalness of an organic form.

Colour holds everything together, with a gaze turned toward the Mediterranean. The greens range from seaweed to sage, from aquamarine to jade; the greys settle on graphite, smoke and chalk. The blues span the entire distance from midnight blue to navy, from denim through to sky blue and ice blue. On the warm side, papaya, mango, hemp, sand beige and vanilla make their appearance, while the family of pinks and browns lines up powder, oyster and flamingo alongside chocolate, terracotta and cinnamon. 

This collection now finds its home in the new showroom inaugurated in Milan by Gruppo Piacenza. A space of over four hundred square metres, bringing together the clothing and fabric collections of its maisons and guiding visitors on a journey between history and craft, where manufacturing heritage meets research and the idea of Made in Italy.
