During Milan Men’s Fashion Week, MTLstudio presents “SCENE DI VITA QUOTIDIANA”, the FW26 collection that will be unveiled on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at the Fondazione Sozzani.
The brand’s second official presentation in the calendar of Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana is an ode to the childhood memories of MTLstudio’s founder and creative director, Matteo Lamandini. The collection is rooted in everyday life in the provinces of Emilia-Romagna, with the addition of Fellini-esque influences, and brings its essence to the city through the reinterpretation of some of the director’s key characters and themes, elegant eroticism, and irony in recounting the canons of tradition. “SCENE DI VITA QUOTIDIANA” is born with a strong social message, a deep connection to the designer’s origins that celebrates the inclusiveness and simplicity of everyday life. The presentation breaks with classic patterns, featuringordinary people of different physiques and ages, models who interact with the environment, proposing a scenario linked to simplicity. The setting, enriched by old cathode ray tube televisions, recalls the elements of cinema and village tradition. These similarities unite the designer and Fellini’s universe through a love for their homeland and their Emilian origins.
The collection plays with contrasts to offer a contemporary reinterpretation of the male work wardrobe. Tailored wools are applied to more casual garments, together with tie-dye in different shades and faded and distressed denim. The wardrobe is enriched by raw cuts on wool, denim, and poplin that accentuate wear and tear over time, whiletransparenciesand overlays add a more seductive touch to the looks.
Oversized outerwear, inspired by grandfather’s wardrobe, is the highlight, offered in different variations: as a suit or separates in faded denim, or even in a reinterpretation of the work jacket.
New to the presentation is the inclusion of several pieces designed exclusively for women’s wardrobes, which will join the genderless collection for the first time. A fundamental element in evoking the past are multi-purpose garments, such as shirts that can become skirts, or skirts that can become dresses, shirt sleeves that become tops, and pleated skirts that can be taken apart and become multi-purpose for both men and women, with the aim of giving a single garment multiple lives.
The color palette is characterized by predominantly soft tones: gray and pastel blue, accompanied by brown and blue. Pink, the designer’s signature color, appears in every collection to represent the feminine side of creation, wearable by anyone regardless of gender to reinforce and validate the inclusivity of the collection.
