This season Magliano takes the fash pack on a glamorous date to the cinema, trading the catwalk for seven blissful minutes of short film for its SS26 collection. Titled Maglianic, the film is shot through the ironic and sublime eye of director Thomas Hardiman.
Taking place on a ferry, the scene opens with a man clambering out of a scuffed up double bass case, dashingly dressed in a black suit – collar popped, not a wrinkle in sight. The camera follows him into the parlour of the ship where two eclectic characters discuss their drinks of choice. One wears velvet trousers printed with a denim effect and a boxy button-down shirt; the other sports a brown pinstripe shirt-turned-dress, accessorised with fishnet tights. As Jazz music plays in the background, other guests play cards, tune their instruments or kip on the plush sofas.
At one point, the camera pursues one particularly eye-catching character ‘The Sparkling Ship Employee’, clad in black, eighties-esc suit trousers paired with a fisherman knit jumper that glistens gold throughout the night.
The alluring evening soon comes to its end as the cast steps out into the morning mist and onto the deck. Showcasing the full collection, each look flutters in the wind; a captivating depiction of seven minutes in Magliano heaven.
