The inclusion of Filippo Cascinelli Staudacher (Cascinelli) and Andrea Alchieri (Alchètipo), two emerging talents who studied at Istituto Marangoni Milano, on the official calendar of Milan Men’s Fashion Week SS 2027 underscores the creative vitality of designers shaped by the Milan-based school. Though their journeys differ, both share a powerful narrative approach and an ability to transform personal experiences into collections where memory fuels a more intimate, contemporary vision.

A Return to His Roots for Cascinelli

On Saturday, June 20, in the prestigious setting of Palazzo Turati - the new home of Istituto Marangoni Milano - Filippo Cascinelli Staudacher unveiled "Via al Castello", marking an important evolution for the Cascinelli brand.

For Cascinelli, who graduated in Fashion Design & Accessories and was named one of the 10 Best Istituto Marangoni’s Designers of the Year in 2021, the venue held deep symbolic significance: a return to the place where his fashion journey began. At the same time, the collection draws inspiration from childhood summers at his family’s historic estate in Castel Ivano, transforming memories, holiday atmospheres, and cherished family details into a refined contemporary language.

Technical nylons, cotton gabardines, and nods to outdoor wear harmonise with more delicate, tailored elements, creating a wardrobe that expands the brand’s offering beyond outerwear and, for the first time, introduces a womenswear dimension. This balance of personal memory and technical research further sharpens Cascinelli’s distinctive aesthetic identity.

Alchètipo and the Story of “The Day After”

On Sunday, June 21, at Fondazione Sozzani - a long-standing supporter of emerging designers through Carla Sozzani and Sara Sozzani Maino - Andrea Alchieri presented "Midnight Cruise • The Day After The Vow", the latest creative chapter of Alchètipo, following the collection unveiled last February.

While the previous narrative centred on marriage, the Spring/Summer 2027 collection focuses on what remains after the ceremony. As described in the collection’s manifesto, as guests depart and flowers begin to fade, only traces, emotions, and memories remain, destined to endure.

Within this suspended scenario, nature, sculpture, and tailoring enter into dialogue, shaping an immersive landscape where garments bear witnesses to what has been and hint at what is yet to come. Navigating presence and absence, transition and transformation, Alchieri offers a poetic reflection on change and on fashion’s ability to preserve memory.
