The Attico’s “Lei è così” Defines the Unstoppable Woman at Milan Fashion Week

The Attico knows how to make a statement, and this season it wasn’t just about clothes — it was about philosophy. At Milan Fashion Week, founders Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini unveiled their Spring/Summer 2026 collection, “Lei è così,” a title that captures the very impossibility of defining a woman. Guests like Ice Spice, Sami Miro and Sevdaliza sat front row as the brand made it clear: the Attico woman isn’t here to be categorized. She is instinctive, magnetic, and impossible to contain.

The clothes told the story in contradictions that felt effortlessly cohesive. Trench coats stretched into elongated silhouettes, cut with sharp tailoring but softened with lace trims and undone edges. Collars stacked one over the other, drawing attention upwards, while waists curved and scooped at the back, flashing lingerie beneath the discipline of suiting. The push and pull between masculine structure and feminine sensuality played out seamlessly, flipping between boardroom confidence and boudoir allure.

Accessories refused to play second fiddle. Cork wedges rose to skyscraper heights, perched precariously on stiletto heels — a wink at the balancing act women perform daily. And then came the La Passeggiata Mini, a shrunken version of the house’s cult handbag, immediately available in seven iterations. It was less an accessory than a declaration: playful, collectible, and perfectly timed to stir desire.

But it was the manifesto at the core of “Lei è così” that gave the collection its heartbeat. In Italian, the phrase isn’t about explaining a woman away; it’s an admission of defeat in trying to define her at all. She is not “like that.” She just is. And in that refusal to be classified lies her power.

The Attico captured this essence with a clarity that felt both rebellious and inevitable. These were clothes for women who don’t enter a room to steal attention but somehow always leave with it anyway. SS26 distilled her contradictions into one sharp vision: she is not one thing, she is everything — and that’s exactly what makes her unforgettable.
