Steven Passaro steps into a dreamlike dimension for Fall/Winter 2026, unveiling “Ethereal Shift,” a collection that floats between structure and softness, reality and illusion. The designer leans into movement, fluid tailoring, and a sense of emotional lightness — details first reported by FY Magazine!
Soft Architecture, Emotional Precision
Passaro’s FW26 silhouettes feel like sketches brought to life — airy, elongated, and quietly sculptural. Expect:
- fluid suiting with softened edges
- pleated forms that ripple with motion
- knitwear that drapes like mist
- tonal palettes that shift from cloud‑white to storm‑grey
Everything feels intentional yet weightless, as if the garments are built to hover rather than sit on the body.
A Study in Movement
“Ethereal Shift” leans heavily into Passaro’s fascination with motion. Fabrics bend, twist, and expand with the wearer, creating a sense of choreography even in stillness. The collection reads like a meditation on how clothing can echo emotion — calm, introspective, quietly powerful.
Modern Romance, Reimagined
There’s a romantic undercurrent here, but never in a traditional sense. Passaro’s version is modern, architectural, and stripped of excess. The softness comes from shape, not decoration. The drama comes from silhouette, not embellishment.
It’s menswear that feels like a breath — subtle, intentional, and deeply human.
