Venerdì Pomeriggio Spring 2027: Vivetta Ponti's 'Gardening' Collection Blends Nature and Domesticity in Milan
Vivetta Ponti unveiled her spring 2027 ready-to-wear line for Venerdì Pomeriggio, named "Gardening," at Milan's Residenza Vignale. Drawing from her home inspirations, the collection featured garments adorned with window designs, embroidered jackets embellished with green feather tufts, denim scattered with wildflowers, and ruffled skirts fashioned from cross-stitched tablecloths. A strapless white taffeta mini, gathered at the bust and accented with pale blue ribbons, was complemented by green ostrich feathers reminiscent of grass. Feathers were sourced from Florentine expert Mazzanti Piume, which practices non-plucking. Handmade flowers from Pistoia decorated outfits and hats, while Korean designer Nino Kun crafted dramatic headpieces, and Lili Curia designed embroidered shoes. The event also showcased basket bags made from repurposed satin and leftover materials. Chef Marco Assaggia created stunning tablescapes of fruits, jellies, and vintage glassware collected by Ponti and her mother. A cinematic score from Santamaria Sound Studio accompanied the presentation, inspired by characters Ponti envisioned in the collection. Additionally, this season marked Venerdì Pomeriggio's entry into selective wholesale distribution, with Ponti advocating for a curated approach and moving away from strict seasonal schedules. Some knitwear and transitional items will be available right away.
