GENNY FALL-WINTER 2025-2026 FASHION SHOW: A TRIBUTE TO THE MERIT OF WOMEN

The journey through the Genny archive, where prototypes and models designed for the brand from 1962 to the present day are found, liberates Sara Cavazza Facchini’s creativity, who invents a new vocabulary of feminine signs for fall/ winter ‘25-’26. It starts with the tassel, an ornament made of a bunch of threads braided at one end, which in Hindu religion evokes the spiritual awakening process leading to bliss, while in ecclesiastical and military heraldry it indicates the dignity of the wearer. For Versace in 1993, it was a graphic sign of great elegance, a sort of geometric grid closed at the bottom by the tassel, to which a heart, an eternal symbol of love, is added today. For Sara, it is a true honor bestowed upon women, exquisitely feminine with the tuxedo jacket, loose trousers, a vest, and bowtie, which is actually a bow. Tassels are omnipresent. Printed or embroidered with two or three different techniques on the men’s shirt but also transformed into extraordinary three- dimensional decorations woven into the jacquard mohair pullover or even used as embroidered pendants on loafers and slingbacks, in silk and crystals on warm knits, and in leather on evening bags. Almost all the decorative elements of the collection come from the archive, starting with the small metal tubes around the cardigan’s neckline, transformed into a new type of piping, moving on to the G of Genny, which becomes both a buckle and button, and then to the perforated brass bezel used as a medal ce
