Costarelos crafts Kinara in blush cotton velvet for autumn

The Kinara blazer from Costarelos arrives in a whisper of blush cotton velvet, a fabric choice that signals the house’s gift for subverting tailoring’s traditional codes. The material catches light with the subtle nap of velvet pile, lending the piece a sensory richness that extends beyond the merely visual. What reads as minimal in silhouette becomes tactile and generous in hand.

The construction reveals Costarelos’ understanding of contrast as narrative. A sharp black lace detail adorns the wrists and collar, introducing lacework that speaks to evening without descending into ceremony. The blazer itself is cut with an easy, contemporary ease, structured enough to hold its form, relaxed enough to wear open and unstructured. Two button fastenings in black anchor the front, while a jetted pocket detail in matching black tape traces the chest with architectural precision.

The pale rose tone of the cotton velvet reads neither as pastiche nor as obvious femininity, but rather as a deliberate departure from the neutrals that dominate structured jackets. Worn here with black undergarments and sheer hosiery, it demonstrates the piece’s capacity to ground itself through layering and tonal play, moving between seasons and moments with ease. The Fall Winter 2026 collection sees Costarelos continuing to refine a vocabulary that prizes elegance through restraint and unexpected texture.
