Maison Francesco Scognamiglio Fall 2025 Couture Collection
On the occasion of his 50th birthday, Francesco Scognamiglio decided to celebrate the return of his brand, Maison Francesco Scognamiglio, with a special event called The Renaissance on a panoramic terrace at Palazzo Reale, in Naples. After a long hiatus—and the recent reacquisition of his own label—he came back with 15 couture looks that quintessentially represented his aesthetic. This fall 2025 collection took inspiration from the mythological faun of Pompeii, linked to the historical Italian city—and Scognamiglio's hometown—destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. This creature, a symbol of ephebic beauty, was one of the main references for the designer, who reflected on the concept of beauty itself to propose what he defined as a 'new romanticism,' resulting in fluid, delicate silhouettes. The first look was the main focus of the collection, as confirmed by the designer, a representation of this fragile beauty. A well-tailored suit—proof of his expertise in Neapolitan tailoring—was sleek with wide lapels, geometrically interrupted on the shoulders, and paired with a white smoking shirt and a bow tie. But Scognamiglio's couture is about rich decorations: Vaporous feathers in pale pastels were theatrically applied on sheer gem-encrusted gowns, and also used to create boleros and sculptural headpieces. Some of the long dresses recalled the elegance of the 1930s with elongated silhouettes in semi-transparent organza and georgette, cascading volants, and matching vintage-inspired faux fur stoles. Corsetry had a big role, with intricate embellishments that recalled ancient bas-reliefs on nude or black tones to create soft or hard contrasts. A similar decoration was used for a long-sleeved dazzling mini dress, again reminiscent of Roman architectural details. Among the proposals, one identified by Scognamiglio as 'pretty special' to him was the white oversized faux fur coat on which an enormous silver rose was applied, as another touch of his baroque-like maximalism.

Francesco Scognamiglio buys back eponymous label
Francesco Scognamiglio is again holding a 100% stake in his eponymous label. The Neapolitan designer had sold the brand to the Y Capital Management investment fund in 2021. The buyback deal, sealed after lengthy negotiations, marks the beginning of an ambitious new project that blends fashion, art, and identity. The label's relaunch will begin from Naples, the designer's home base, where Scognamiglio will celebrate his 50th birthday with an event scheduled later this month at the Royal Palace, which will open to the public for the first time. More than 200 international guests — including inspirational celebrities, supermodels, and music and film personalities — will attend the celebration, which has been conceived as a manifesto for the designer's new creative phase. Central to this special occasion will be the launch of a new haute couture collection, which will be presented concurrently with Paris Haute Couture Week. "I am starting afresh from myself, from my city, and from what I love. Naples has taught me beauty, strength, and resilience. Today, I feel the need to tell a broader story, one that combines fashion, art, and culture within a single vision," said Scognamiglio. Scognamiglio's other upcoming projects will extend beyond fashion, as he is planning to expand into art and interior design. He will focus on creating atmospheres and ambiences inspired by his signature aesthetic and the timeless influence of his home town, Pompei.
