The spring-summer 2026 Lana Gatto collection has the colours and evokes the flavours and scents of exotic fruit, celebrating the warm season with a ‘fruit salad’ of light-and-thin proposals. Lightness and fineness are indeed the guiding principles behind the ‘Fashion’ and ‘Atelier’ yarns, expressions of Made in Italy creativity and craftsmanship. The result is a highly distinctive knitwear offering, perfect interpreter of the latest catwalk trends yet reinterpreted in a personal way.
To design the wardrobe for the warm season, Lana Gatto’s ‘Fashion’ line relies on 6 yarns with an emblematic name: ‘Banana’, a cotton and polyester chainette blend ideal for making beach hats, bags, and home décor containers; ‘Avocado’, where printed jute combines with cotton and an acrylic stitch to bring to life accessories that personalise not only outfits but also the home (runners, placemats); and ‘Kiwi’ (cotton, polyester, and polyamide for ‘Chanel-effect’ garments). Make room also for the natural yarns with ‘Lime’ (100% organic cotton), ‘Mango’ (cotton-linen-viscose), and ‘Ananas’ (cotton-viscose). While they can be used individually, thanks to their easy-to-coordinate colours, the last two yarns offer their best when combined, creating a mix-and-match perfect for beachwear.
The ‘Atelier’ line also focuses on seaside life, relying on luminescence to attract attention and craft impactful garments for sunbathing or pieds dans l’eau aperitifs. To create bikinis that won’t go unnoticed, make room for ‘Coconut’ (cotton mouliné yarn with micro-sequins for an ultra-bright effect) and ‘Papaja’, cotton chainette with a fringed effect thanks to the use of both ton-sur-ton and metallic polyester. Metallic polyester is also a component of ‘Passion Fruit’ – a naturally elegant yarn with a subtle lurex thread woven into the cotton – and ‘Maracuja’, multicoloured cotton-viscose chainette with a striped effect.
Colours represent the strong soul of the ‘Classic’ collection, whose 4 iconic yarns – ‘Sugar’, ‘Silky’, ‘Cablè 5’, and ‘Nuovo Jaipur’ – have been entirely revisited in their colour palette. Highlighting the importance of the shades are also two new unmistakably summery products, starting from the natural yarns that compose them: ‘Cotton Soft’ (mercerised makò cotton available in 30 shades), and ‘Cashcot bio’, where organic cotton meets cashmere for garments to flaunt even in mid-season.
