CHARLI • Fine-knit sweater

The Karma Koma Spring–Summer 2026 collection draws from the legacy of Italian cinema.

A retro cinema, vibrant, imperfect. A cinema of attitude, movement, and strong women filmed in the street, in the heat and the noise.

Conceived in Rome, the collection captures an instinctive Mediterranean elegance, inspired by the Italian heroines of the 1960s to the 1990s. A free, direct, almost nonchalant allure that emerges from real life: walking fast, speaking loudly, existing fully.

Retro becomes a language.

Sharp cuts, sensual lines, assertive silhouettes. A wardrobe that moves through eras without nostalgia, faithful to the spirit of Italian cinema: carnal, sun-drenched, profoundly human.

The shoot, photographed in Bastia, reinforces this cinematic dimension. The city, the sea, the noise, the light. A deliberately grainy image, like film, where fashion blends with scenes of everyday life.

As the season unfolds, the silhouettes loosen. Fabrics become more fluid, bodies reveal themselves. Open backs emerge as a defining motif of the summer: graphic, confident, unmistakable.

It is a Mediterranean summer, loud, alive, in motion.
A contemporary Dolce Vita, captured like a fleeting moment of life.
