Antonio Grimaldi marks a new chapter in his career with the debut of his ready-to-wear collection, presenting the FW 25-26 line during New York Fashion Week. The goal is to offer an innovative and sophisticated proposal and enter the ready-to-wear segment while maintaining the pillars of his signature style.
“A new, exciting challenge. With my clients constantly requesting the possibility to purchase one of my designs without the long processes and lead times of Haute Couture, I decided to introduce a prêt-à-porter line. The aim is to position myself globally in luxury department stores while preserving the quality and uniqueness of my Made in Italy creations. With Haute Couture, I necessarily have direct contact with each client, whether in my atelier or at private residences where I create bespoke wardrobes. However, as the romantic I am, I have always dreamed of encountering a woman wearing one of my creations without ever having met her before. I believe the time has come to make this dream a reality,”says Antonio Grimaldi.
A strategic evolution driven by the growing market demand and the loyal clientele cultivated over the years, this transition serves as a bridge between haute couture and a more accessible and versatile wardrobe—without compromising the exclusivity and quality that have always defined his work.
The collection consists of 27 looks, including cocktail dresses and evening gowns, preserving the unmistakable DNA of the Maison.
In the name of continuity, clean and sinuous lines, asymmetrical cuts, and dynamic silhouettes are the collection’s recurring themes. It is expressed in a refined color palette featuring cedar yellow, blush pink, white, and black. Luxurious fabrics such as cady and organza, along with couture-level details like ostrich feathers, embroidery, and metallic appliqués, enhance the brand’s heritage—now reinterpreted through a ready-to-wear lens.
Each piece is meticulously crafted, respecting the proportions and structures that have made Antonio Grimaldi’s style iconic.
The production of the collection has been entrusted to the Milan-based company Fashion Plan and is entirely Made in Italy, ensuring the tailoring excellence and attention to detail that have always distinguished the Maison.
