Overview

• Zegna transformed Dubai Opera into ‘Villa Zegna’ for its June 12 S/S 2026 runway, marking the brand’s first presentation beyond Italy in over a century.
• Artistic director Alessandro Sartori’s collection emphasised simple, travel-ready luxury with ultra-light linens, silks and treated leathers intended to appear sun-faded.
• The immersive set blended Dubai’s desert landscape with architectural nods to Zegna’s Trivero mansion, accompanied by a bespoke soundscape of Oasi Zegna birdsong.
• Villa Zegna remains open through June 16, allowing visitors and top clients to explore the installation and pre-order select S/S 2026 looks.
• The Dubai show highlights Zegna’s growing Middle Eastern focus, where EMEA sales accounted for 35% of group revenues last year.
