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.
Monica Vinader has chosen English singer/songwriter Sienna Spiro as the face of the aspirational, ambitious premium jewellery brand.

The “meaningful collaboration” links the jewellery brand “known for its design integrity and exceptional quality” to “one of music’s most compelling emerging voices… with her lyrics rooted in feeling and intention, qualities that closely align with Monica Vinader’s approach to design”, we’re told.
Throughout the campaign, Spiro wears the new Infinity collections as well as Monica Vinader pieces engraved with lyrics from her song ‘You Stole the Show’.
The engravings spotlight the brand’s personalisation services, “transforming jewellery into objects of meaning, from song lyrics and private messages to personal mantras”, the retailer said.
The brand, which has several stores in London, plus stores at Liverpool One, in Manchester and Edinburgh, appointed a new CEO in November. Sebastian Picardo now heads the previously family-run brand founded by siblings Monica (artistic director) and Gabriela (non-exec director) in 2008.
At the time of his appointment, the sisters said Picardo is “perfectly placed to guide our next phase of growth” and will work to accelerate the business’s global reach, “scaling innovation, inspiring existing and new audiences, and setting new standards for modern luxury jewellery”.
Scottish gymwear brand Dfyne has opening a 21,623 sq ft headquarters in Glasgow that “marks a major milestone in the company’s growth just four years after launch”, it said.

Designed in collaboration with workplace designer/builder Oktra, the new HQ provides a permanent base for Dfyne’s growing team and “reflects the brand’s ambition, identity, and people-first values.. as the business continues to grow”.
The opening marks ‘phase one’ of the project, with further phases planned to extend the workspace and complete the ground floor fit-out, it said.
The workplace is organised around a series of “clearly defined zones, balancing focused workspaces with informal collaboration areas and spaces to showcase Dfyne products”.
“Cultural storytelling” is also embedded within the design. Brown leather seating in the new meeting booths references a brown leather sofa from Dfyne’s original headquarters – a piece closely associated with the brand’s early days and formative moments.
“This detail symbolises [our] journey from a small founding team to a fast-growing international brand, while maintaining a strong connection to its roots”, it said.
CEO Oscar Ryndziewicz added: “In only four years, and thanks to our incredible community, we’ve grown to such a level that we can create a new, tailor-made space for our team that embodies our brand values. With the creation of unique workspaces, our new HQ is purposefully designed to enable everyone who supported the company’s growth to spark connections and inspire innovation.”
Puma is continuing its fruitful fashion-meets-sport collab with UK streetwear brand Represent, this time “rewriting the playbook of basketball-inspired staples”.

Fusing “Heritage Hoops Energy with Modern Streetwear”, it brings the two brands neatly together with a campaign fronted by German NBA star Dennis Schröder who “embodies the collection’s balanced fusion of court performance and off-court style”.
The “simple yet elevated collection” spans footwear and apparel that’s “highlighted by expressive and detailed cut-and-sew designs”, as well as a fresh interpretation of Puma’s All-Pro Nitro 2 sneaker.
Its “court-ready” Jersey and Shorts debut comes with a newly designed Puma x Represent graphic, featuring mesh construction and contrasting trim “that nods to retro game-day uniforms”.
The range is, of course, accompanied by “courtside essentials” including a Graphic T-Shirt and Hoodie, “pieces that bring bold visual detailing to the championship collaboration”.
A Coach Jacket and accompanying Pants also “comprise comfortable warm-up layers with everyday wearability”.
For footwear, Puma x Represent presents a re-envision All-Pro Nitro 2, a performance design underpinned by “explosive Nitro cushioning and a lightweight Ultraweave upper”. The black and white two-tone colourway is punctuated by subtle logo hits on the heel and tongue.
Complementing one of Puma’s “most modern examples of basketball performance technology”, the collection brings “a touch of ‘80s flair with the low-top Majesty”.
