Marsèll returns to constructive independence with Asimmetrie

Marsèll’s Asimmetrie collection for Fall Winter 26/27 reads as a deliberate turn inward, a moment of recalibration where the Italian shoemaker reasserts its foundational principles of construction and independence. The collection title speaks to an aesthetic philosophy rather than mere decoration: asymmetry becomes the vehicle through which form is questioned, challenged and ultimately reimagined.

What emerges is a meditation on balance achieved through imbalance. Layered fabrics meet unexpected proportions. Seaming becomes visible syntax, lines of thread telling stories of craft rather than concealing them. The palette moves through charcoal, deep grey and black, colours that allow the architecture of each piece to assert itself without distraction. In profile, silhouettes shift and alter, refusing symmetry in favour of something more considered, more questioning.

This is resilience expressed through design language: the ability to adapt without abandoning essence. Marsèll has long held a particular relationship with handmade production and material rigour, rooted in Italian artisanal traditions. Asimmetrie does not abandon this heritage; rather, it proposes that tradition and experimentation need not be opposing forces. The collection suggests growth through formal exploration, suggesting that true independence lies in the courage to remake oneself while remaining fundamentally honest about materials, technique and intent.

The campaign, art directed by Martina Uderzo with photography by Mattia Parodi and Tristan Godefroy, captures this philosophy in stark, considered imagery. Against neutral backgrounds, garments emerge as sculptural objects: a jacket becomes an essay in proportion; a shirt demonstrates the quiet authority of precise construction.
