For Autumn Winter 2026, Sportmax mastered the art of a well-curated wardrobe. The collection was poised on the notion of dynamism — garments that shift, convert and reconfigure as easily as the woman wearing them. As the show notes so aptly distilled it,“there is no clutter weighing the Sportmax woman down,” — and that sense of intent was palpable throughout.

At the foundation of this new collection was a familiar House signature: the double-face coat. For Fall Winter 2026, it became something of a site of experimentation rather than a staple. Necklines were reshaped and reframed, collars were detachable, and silhouettes slip between long and short. Each piece felt in flux, as though they might morph depending on how — and where — they were worn.

The gilet was another outerwear hero this season. Layerable in a way that makes it so perfect for mix-and-match styling, its oversized origami collar added architectural drama without heaviness to a variety of looks. Like the coat, it encapsulated the collection’s commitment to versatility. In a climate — literally and metaphorically — defined by unpredictability, adaptability feels less like a trend and more like necessity, so consider this a transeasonal wardrobe essential.

Lightness was another prevailing theme, despite the collection's winter billing.  Creative director Grazia Malagoli proved unafraid of skin, from body-skimming knits to slashes that reveal flashes of leg or torso. And accessories delivered the punctuation to each look. Printed leather earrings in coloured crocodile effect, clutches dotted like modernist artworks, and ropes of metallic fringe inject personality without overwhelming the silhouette. As for footwear, an elegant mix of texan boots and sculptural wedge heels grounded each look with pragmatic polish.
