The Dreamiest Take on Spring Summer 2026 by Gianvito Rossi

Gianvito Rossi has come out with the dreamiest Spring-Summer 2026 collection, imagined as a dreamscape fantasy. The collection presents at its heart, a new heel that adopts graceful proportions named Sofia after the Creative Director’s daughter.
The collection unfolds in three distinctive chapters. First stop: a marine-inspired mood, where metallic leathers in aloe green, freesia, and rose gold shine like liquid light. Sensuous sandals shimmer with silver snake-effect textures, made for the modern siren who wants her disco moment. Three standout designs bring couture energy into the mix: a rainbow metallic mule inspired by seashells, a pearl-and-sequin sandal that recalls underwater sparkle, and another with satin and tulle petals that bloom in rose gold, green, and black.
From there, the vibe shifts sharply to the city. We’re talking graphic black, white, and brown with flashes of red. Sofia takes on her urban persona across d’Orsay pumps, mules, and booties. Volumes are bolder, platforms and rubber soles come into play, and finishes move between glossy and matte, echoing the rhythm of city streets. Even gladiator sandals are given a metropolitan update, while block heels are refined into sleeker, sharper silhouettes.
Finally, the mood turns sun-soaked. Earthy tones and braided details inspired by Moroccan craftsmanship bring a sense of ease and craftsmanship into summer-ready sandals. The collection closes on a reimagined clog: strong, sleek, and finished with oversized studs in leather, suede, wood, and touches of gold.
