Malo drops pre-spring 2026 collection, collaborates with David Lipman

Malo is turbo-charging its relaunch, working with Lipman Studio. The renowned US creative agency set up by David Lipman will curate the brand image, new campaign and corporate identity of the Italian high-end knitwear label owned by US investment fund Glickman Capital. In parallel, Malo is set to unveil in Milan the new creative direction developed by its revamped design team, beginning with the Fall 2026 men’s and women’s collections. 

Malo’s latest campaign, lensed by Nikolai von Bismarck, oozes contemporary Italian charm, and is consistent with Malo’s long-standing visual tradition, shaped by creatives such as Peter Lindbergh and other major fashion photographers.

The current season is also marking Malo’s return to the USA after nearly a decade. The label is now available at select Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus stores.

“This new chapter for Malo is a considered renewal, bringing modern energy to a high-class brand founded on thoughtful artisanal craftsmanship. We do not chase trends. We are perfecting the appearance and perception of timeless luxury today,” said Michelle Kessler-Sanders, who was appointed CEO of Malo in June.

In parallel with its creative makeover, Malo delved into its archives for the pre-spring 2026 capsule collection, a reinterpretation of classic knitwear, stitching and silhouettes through a modern perspective. The 10-item collection includes Amelia, an elaborate hooded coat, Anna, a sculptural cable-knit cardigan, and the colourful Freya and Delia models, featuring Fair Isle patterns and hand-embroidered flowers.

The collection was launched globally on November 6, 2025, and is available at Malo stores and major luxury retailers, and on select online partners in Europe and the USA.
