REGENERATION

Borsalino unveils its new Fall-Winter 2025/26 collection focused on the theme of regeneration, giving new life to elements of the past by actualizing them and finding new contemporary uses for them.

The Head of Style’s vision, Jacopo Politi, opens the doors of a family home, Casa Borsalino, where between one room and another, the objects that populate them come to life, meet, interact with each other, and sometimes merge to create new versions of themselves. First and foremost are the furnishings, what makes one room distinctive from all others: intricately patterned rugs and the velvets of sofas and blankets wrap around the crowns of Sophie and Agata for her, Andrea and Heath for him, giving each model vibrant color contrasts.

In a continuous motion the hats animate the house, having fun chasing each other up and down the stairs, in the garden, exploring and observing every hidden nook and cranny to unearth little treasures: from the bedroom dresser, Leslie and Brest mix sequins from old evening gowns to create intricate floral patterns, thus transforming themselves into veritable brightly hued spotlights, accompanied by Melanie in a more country style; while, regimental-style ties are downplayed in the baseball Piero or as a belt in the classic wide-brimmed Alexander. The classic Basco, absorbed in the colorful Lynchian texture of a painting, gets inspiration by multiplying in numerous color variations. Meanwhile, the timeless soul of the most precious jewelry is awakened and, attracted by the hustle and bustle, declines into complements with a dynamic use: Sophie is enriched with a removable necklace chain, Brest doubles up in a version with dangling earrings and one with a snowflake brooch, while the toledo form Tess finds the perfect synthesis of a more modern elegance in the whiteness of its felt combined with the boho-chic mono earring.

Every room is a world and every object is an inspiration: from the fabrics of different qualities, such as the ever-present macula that gives boldness to the beret, to the same hats that, looking at themselves and noticing that they have undergone the passage of time, find a new identity in being deconstructed and reunited as two halves of the same element in the Lucia and Max models: here the joining line, highlighted by marked contrasting stitching, becomes a symbol of an ever-present point of contact between past and present, between what seems static and the continuous change.
