The eponymous luxury womenswear label by Roman designer Federica Bonifaci was set up in 2021. The collections are 100% made in Italy, and are available at some 20 high-end retailers in Italy, Greece, Norway, Monte Carlo and the USA. “The US is a growth market for us,” Bonifaci told FashionNetwork.com. “Our products, despite higher customs duties, are priced affordably and fairly for American consumers. We’re of course talking about the higher end of the market, with jackets retailing between €800 and €1,500. Sheepskin items are priced even higher, as are some special items, like the dress for which we had to use 18 metres of silk,” she added. 

Federica Bonifaci began as a single-product label, its signature garment being capes. The Spring/Summer 2026 collection Federica Bonifaci presented at Milan Fashion Week was its third summer release. It included a new range of accessories, chiefly linked to capes, which now come in more coat-like versions, in an almost occasionwear style. And there was more. “We introduced pleated fabrics, and also used silk crêpe. It’s a multi-layered collection, because I really like overlapping fabric layers,” said Bonifaci.
 
Like many other labels, both established and emerging, Federica Bonifaci is therefore expanding into the occasionwear segment. “In summer, people will either go to the beach, or to a wedding,” quipped Bonifaci. “I previously struggled with beachwear, but I’ve now designed a series of shirt-capes, matched with sailor-style shorts, that can also open up resortwear opportunities for us,” she added. Stripes, silk organza, cotton shirts in longline versions and even lace are featured in the collection, a way to cater to different occasions.

Bonifaci is keen to expand her label’s retail footprint, “but I don’t want my brand to become a mass-market one,” she stated. “In the meantime, we have recently moved to a new showroom in Via Gerolamo Morone 6 in Milan, while my monobrand store in Piazza Navona in Rome, such an iconic, prime location, is still active. Also significant is the fact that my label has posted double-digit growth this year. In 2025, I’ve invested plenty of resources on sales campaigns, especially in New York,” said Bonifaci.
 
With the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Bonifaci has continued to develop her style in accordance with her tastes, harmoniously blending fashion and architecture. Capes, the staple of her design journey, remain the collection’s beating heart. They caress the shoulders, enveloping and protecting the silhouette, morphing into sculptural elements while remaining soft and cocooning. They feature in new variants, from cotton shirt-capes to more fitted single-breasted versions, and even one that is short at the back and longer at the front.

Alongside capes, the collection includes a range of long and short dresses, lightweight tunics, loose summer suits, jumpsuits, bomber jackets, gilets, shorts, miniskirts, corset dresses, and trousers. Natural fabrics such as cotton, viscose, silk, lace, organza, as well as pleated fabrics and sequins, feature in the collection alongside more high-tech, luminous materials, for a romantic-contemporary mood ideal for occasions worth celebrating. The colour palette includes timeless neutrals like white, black, and sheer fabrics, alongside intense hues like lime, pink, teal, sky blue, and red.
