As we prepare for the next edition of Rome Fashion Week, we wanted to hear directly from those who play a decisive role in defining tomorrow’s occasionwear fashion: the buyers.

Among the professionals we interviewed is Sangiorgio1966, a renowned atelier based in Sicily (Italy). Their team shared their expectations for RFW 2026 and the key trends already influencing their buying strategy for the upcoming season.

According to them, attending the event is no longer optional — it’s a strategic advantage:

“We’ll be at Rome Fashion Week again next year to select the new collections. Having the industry’s leading brands gathered in one place allows us to identify next directions quickly and efficiently”.

Looking at emerging trends, Sangiorgio1966 highlights several themes set to define the season ahead: gold tones for milestone celebrations, sheer elements and transparencies, luminous fabrics, and sparkling and embellished details, increasingly requested by clients.

The timing, they add, is just as important: “June is the ideal moment to view the collections, meet with key brands, and plan orders with the right perspective for the year ahead”.

Rome Fashion Week returns from 7 to 9 June 2026 — a pivotal moment to preview new trends, connect with industry leaders, and unlock new business opportunities.
