MIGUEL VIEIRA SS26 — A Night in the Garden

At Fondazione Sozzani, Portuguese designer Miguel Vieira—renowned for his architectural tailoring and monochrome precision—presented a show that felt like a whispered monologue in the dark.

Titled “A Night in the Garden”, the collection unfolded in deep blacks and silvery textures, blurring the line between concealment and expression. Models moved through a minimalist space like apparitions, with fringed details, luminous surfaces, and sculptural silhouettes evoking the stillness of a moonlit garden—quiet, exacting, magnetic.

A standout moment came with the appearance of Japanese icon Raúl on the runway, his presence drawing early crowds and shifting the energy in the room. He embodied the collection’s essence—mysterious, precise, and emotionally restrained.

Vieira’s mastery lies in restraint: sharp lines softened by fluid drapes, tailored coats lined with subtle shimmer, and flourishes that reveal themselves only under close inspection. The collection didn’t beg for attention—it held it, quietly.
