Milan, February 2026 – Bonaveri is back at Milan Fashion Week Women’s Collection Fall/Winter 2026–2027, reaffirming its commitment to the people and organisations that champion talent, responsibility and innovation. Supporting fashion means actively contributing to its evolution, bringing expertise, tools and vision to the table. For over seventy years, Bonaveri has worked alongside designers, fashion houses and institutions, creating sartorial mannequins and busts designed not merely as display props, but as storytelling devices that bring identity and creative vision to life.
For the FW 2026–27 edition, Bonaveri supplied mannequins for the Fashion Hub, which opened on 24 February at Palazzo Morando and is dedicated to the Future Threads: Italy’s New Wave and New Gen, New Ethos projects. Bonaveri contributed 21 mannequins from the Aloof and Noble Collections, along with 21 Sartorial mannequins and busts.
The Fashion Hub continues to serve as an international platform for emerging designers to gain exposure and engage in dialogue. In this setting, the clean contemporary lines of Aloof and Noble complement the collections on show, while the Sartorial mannequins and busts bring the craft of construction back into focus, highlighting proportion, structure, and a direct relationship between garment and body. Bonaveri’s figures support the experimental work with formal balance, helping to create an exhibition narrative that feels both coherent and easy to read.
For Bonaveri, supporting the Fashion Hub is an investment in the cultural growth of the industry, offering not just products, but ongoing design continuity and technical know-how.
Alongside this institutional presence, Bonaveri is a partner for the Fall/Winter 2026–27 collection presentation of Wounds of Gold by Ara Lumiere, the brand founded by Kulsum Shadab Wahab, a philanthropist who has long championed women survivors of gender-based violence. What sets the project apart is the direct involvement of Indian acid attack survivors at every stage of the creative process.
The collection transforms memory and resilience into tailored construction: scarred surfaces, zari embroidery, and textures that evoke fracture and repair. Gold becomes a symbol of reclaimed dignity and conscious transformation. In this context, Bonaveri’s mannequins interpret structured, architectural silhouettes with precision and poise, amplifying the tension between strength and vulnerability that runs through the entire project. The collaboration with Ara Lumiere reflects a shared belief: that form is a tool for connection, and that beauty carries responsibility.
Bonaveri has always brought artisan heritage and technological research together, from the papier-mâché of its earliest days to its latest experiments with biomaterials. Its continued support of cultural initiatives and socially committed brands during Milan Fashion Week is an expression of that same vision — one that, for over seventy years, has united craftsmanship, innovation and an ongoing dialogue with the world of fashion.
