Zegna's Spring/Summer 2026 Show in Dubai Flaunts Edgy Layering and Pops of Chartreuse

Zegna's revealed its Spring/Summer 2026 collection on Wednesday in Dubai. The luxury menswear brand revealed a vertical stage where Italian craftsmanship meets one of the new capitals of hyper-luxury.

The fashion show in the Emirates coincided with a new chapter of Villa Zegna, the brand's project that brings with it the codes of the brand, like sustainability and industrial vision. After shows in Shanghai and New York, now came the Middle Eastern stop.

"As a company that has always looked beyond, we are thrilled to bring the art of Made in Italy to Dubai for the first time," Chairman and CEO of the Ermenegildo Zegna Group Gildo Zegna said in a statement when announcing the where the show would be held. "This is not just a fashion show, but about reinforcing the value of Italian craftsmanship on a global stage."

The show opened with James Blake singing a serenade on the piano (or, specifically his "Séance" song from Sinners). A healthy mix of relaxed tailoring, smart and edgy layering, and accessories (like men's bags and slippers) were front and center during the show, led by Artistic Director Alessandro Sartori. Notably, some models took on the catwalk barefoot. Colors in the collection are mostly muted, ranging from onyx and smoke with pops of pink and chartreuse. The company was founded in 1910 in Trivero, Piedmont. 

"Dubai today is the center of the world, a place where cultures converge, ideas flourish and the future takes shape. It embodies the energy, vision and innovation that define modern luxury," Zegna continued. "Milan will always be our home, and our partnership with Camera della Moda remains as strong as ever. But today, luxury is about movement, evolution and embracing new perspectives. Dubai is the perfect place to tell the next chapter of our story."
