Niccolò Pasqualetti: a Parisian show between shadow and sculpture

Italian designer Niccolò Pasqualetti unveils a Fall-Winter 2025-2026 collection exploring sculptural silhouettes and dark tones at the Palais de Tokyo.

After a luminous first show in September 2024, Niccolò Pasqualetti takes a more introspective turn for his second Paris show. Presented within the official framework of Paris Fashion Week, this new collection stands out for its play on original materials and shades of black, creating a striking contrast between rigor and fantasy.

A darker, more structured universe

From the very first looks, the tone is set: the silhouettes are sculptural, playing on volumes and textures. Black dominates, but playful details recall the designer’s mischievous touch. A leather jacket transformed into an asymmetrical dress covered in sequins perfectly illustrates this duality, catching the light with every movement.

A subversive spirit

Niccolò Pasqualetti wields the art of détournement: a wooden brush becomes an unexpected fashion accessory, while a faux fur scarf is combined with a floral-embroidered dress and structured boots. A silhouette that the designer, formerly of Loewe, considers one of the most representative of his work.

An assertive fashion signature

With this second show, Niccolò Pasqualetti confirms his talent for combining poetry and structure, imposing his singular aesthetic on the contemporary fashion landscape. His exploration of black, between rigor and textural play, proves that he is a designer to watch closely in the seasons to come.
