A WOMAN on the go, always shape-shifting and changing attitude: these are the motions that drive Sportmax’s Resort 2026 collection. This season, the search for lightness guides the house’s codes, shifting focus toward the modern urban woman’s evolving realities.
Framing monochromatic backdrops in a villa near Pavia, lush gardens and neoclassical interiors project soft opulence — a sun-washed palette cloaking the collection’s graphic prints in the warm embrace of Mediterranean light. In this context, the functional details of city clothes merge with the gauzy ease of summer essentials, ready to be packed for many seasons to come.

A true reflection of resort, this collection is a declaration of streamlined poise. Plissé shifts from ornamental cue to design tool, investing structured cuts with movement. Denim takes on a fresh attitude, breaking the formality of tailoring tropes. A cinched, sleeveless gilet pairs with curve-legged trousers to create a suit-like ensemble.

The strong-meets-soft duality that defines Sportmax lives in every detail: polka dots and pinstripes form the brand’s graphic vernacular, while grid and patchwork lace, along with embroidered trims, create delicate layering opportunities.
The classic pinstripe, elevated by trompe-l’oeil tailoring, emerges with fluid authority, while crepe jersey dresses channel swimwear’s body-positive energy, blurring boundaries between evening-wear and packable practicality.

Chic-to-street aesthetics transform ethereal satin slips and revamped pyjama sets into everyday uniforms. Like sculptural signets, bijoux accoutrements are built into new constructions — chains threading through backs, S-bar belts integrated into waistlines, charms adorning the bigger, bolder volumes of supple bags.
