It's promising to be big! Umbro and designer Throup announce statement collab
A 14-year gap in an important collaboration requires a statement launch. Which is why Umbro 's regroup with designer Aitor Throup is being hailed by the UK sportswear brand as 'revolutionary'.
It isn't happening until next April but it will be 'cutting-edge' with their third association 'seek[ing] to challenge and disrupt conventional football training apparel through forward-thinking product innovation'.
Also expect the collection 'to rewrite the design rulebook not only in football, but the world of performance apparel as a category'.
Umbro first partnered with Throup on its 2009 England football home kit, when he first brought his 'signature progressive yet minimalist design aesthetic to the 'Beautiful Game'.'
Following the success of this collaboration, Umbro developed its partnership with Throup in 2011 through the launch of Archive Research Project, reimagining a capsule of iconic Umbro styles and defining a new football-specific language of apparel design.
The third chapter of Umbro and Aitor Throup will launch in time for SS26 in partnership with Italian sports and streetwear pioneer Slam Jam to spearhead international distribution. As they say, watch this space…

Nice Brand Lab aims to double revenue of ellesse footwear in 2026
ellesse was spawned by the pioneering vision of Leonardo Servadio, who in 1959 boldly decided to mix sportswear with Italian tailoring elegance. A heritage ellesse is celebrating with next summer's collection, designed as 'a tribute to Italian style and effortless charm, on and off the court.' The Spring/Summer 2026 footwear line created by NBL features several new models characterised by a strong identity and unique design, marking a new creative direction for ellesse. The line is innovative both in terms of style, more deliberately sophisticated, and product construction, and is designed to express a more mature, distinctive vision of a sporting lifestyle. One of the new collection's stand-out items is the LS914, a signature off-court sneakers model named after the height of tennis court nets (91.4 cm): 'With its bold lines, decisive volume and strong visual identity, the LS914 is a tribute to contemporary design, perfectly balanced between sport and lifestyle,' said ellesse. In addition to focusing on ellesse, NBL is tapping Carlisle's expertise to develop a new business line: 'We're putting our know-how at the disposal of brands interested in launching footwear or strengthening their position in the segment. We can offer them a comprehensive suite of services and advice, from style to production, distribution, marketing and communication,' concluded Carlisle, adding that 'for the Spring/Summer 2026, we are negotiating with various interested parties, chiefly apparel brands that want to expand into footwear.'

Nice Brand Lab aims to double revenue of ellesse footwear in 2026
Nice Brand Lab, a division of Italian producer Nice Footwear, set up in July 2024 to manufacture and distribute sneakers and leisure footwear for proprietary and licensed brands, has ambitious plans for ellesse, a long-standing Italian sportswear brand owned by British company Pentland. Nice Brand Lab (NBL) already held the license to develop, manufacture, and distribute ellesse shoes in Italy and France, and has recently inked a global partnership deal with Pentland for the brand's footwear. In February, NBL appointed Nick Carlisle as strategic business developer for ellesse. 'We have comprehensively overhauled the European sales organisation. In Italy, we have switched from 13 agents to 6 macro areas, for better coverage on the ground. Our next targets are the USA, where we plan to enter with Spring/Summer 2026 via a premium e-tailer, to then open our first monobrand stores with Fall/Winter 2026-27; and the APAC region, especially Japan, Korea, China, and Indonesia,' said Carlisle, speaking to 'In addition, we're focusing on women's shoes, which currently account for 40% of sales, a share we're keen to grow to 60% by winter 2026-27. We'll then turn to the children's range, so far quite limited, which we'll start to extend from the Spring/Summer 2027.' A well-defined roadmap, through which NBL is aiming to double the revenue of ellesse's footwear division, making the brand once again a member of sportswear's elite circle: 'We want to take ellesse back on court, we're negotiating with women tennis professionals and we'll work on developing performance footwear. By 2030, we want to become Italy's top sportswear brand, and rank among the world's top 10,' added Carlisle. NBL is keen to revitalise ellesse's long-standing connection with tennis, as demonstrated by the vast ellesse stand at the Pitti Uomo show, a giant replica of a tennis court including oversize rackets and balls. 'For Spring/Summer 2026 we've presented an entirely revamped collection based on a 'less is more' concept, reducing SKUs to focus on our heritage,' said Carlisle. ellesse was spawned by the pioneering vision of Leonardo Servadio, who in 1959 boldly decided to mix sportswear with Italian tailoring elegance.

Max Mara: North meets south in cruise 2026 show
served up what designer Ian Griffiths termed "pragmatic feminism" in a splendidly elegant show Tuesday night inside the Versailles of Italy, bringing to a close this year's season of major cruise collections. Juxtapositions ran throughout the collection and clothes. Inspired by the impoverished heroines fighting for a more beautiful life in post-war Italian Neo-Realist cinema, that led to a superbly chic collection of haute-functional elegance. Three quarters-of-a-century ago, when Max Mara was founded in 1951, it would have been possible to imagine the characters played by Sophia Loren or Silvana Mangano in movies like "L'Oro di Napoli" or "Riso Amaro" even dreaming of entering the Royal Palace of Caserta; a ginormous structure built by Bourbon kings that is sometimes termed the Swansong of the spectacular era of Baroque. Yet, the opening look featured a model in a pair of shorts just like those worn by the steamy and sultry Mangano, playing an impoverished peasant working the fields of the Po Valley in Riso Amaro. Instead at Max Mara, the same short pants came in a new outfit that combined them with matching bra, flowing blazer and dragoon thigh boots. In this look and many others, Griffiths linked north and south in the tailoring, working with Sartoria Cuomo, a Neapolitan tailor to reimagine the local deconstructed men's blazer for women. Featuring broad lapels combined with soft silhouettes, where the seams pucker where the sleeve meets the shoulder. The UK designer also played skilfully with another Naples resource – Marinella, which provided some charming geometric silks - playing on paisley or church motifs – and cut into poolside chemises, floaty jackets, asymmetrical sarong skirts and foulards that several gents in the audiences sported. Pre-show, the 300 guests sipped prosecco, as stars like Sharon Stone, Gwyneth Paltrow, Joey King and Alexa Chung admired the truly magnificent one kilometer-long series of cascades, interspersed with five monumental fountains, designed by architect, Luigi Vanvitelli. Entitled "Venus Vesuviana", overall the collection riffed on the power of dressing, and how great fashion can empower self-confident women. 'I loved the contrast of a woman descending the palace's incredibly grand staircase not in a ball gown but a modern Max Mara look. And making you feel like she owns it,' beamed Griffiths, at a pre-show preview. As ever at Max Mara, there were highly authoritative coats – creamy cashmere dressing gown cuts with deep patch pockets; lapel-free and cinch-waist cocoons; or impeccable double-breasted. Looking hyper refined in the remarkable location. Reggia di Caserta as it is known locally, is a giant Baroque city within a palace, built to contain king, court, courtiers and government within 1,200 rooms and 130,000 square-meters of floor space. Work first began in 1752 under Charles VII, the King of Naples, who ironically never spent a night in the palace, after he abdicated seven years later to become King of Spain. Designed to rival Versailles, the palace contains possibly the grandest staircase on the planet. Doubly ironically, it was only completed in 1845, just 15 years before the kingdom was overthrown by Garibaldi in 1860, completing the first stage of Italian unity with the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy. The palace has gone through multiple eras, from an aeronautical academy, to being bombed by the Allies during WW2 and looted subsequently. Albeit, then very carefully late restored by the Italian state. Which brings it to the beginning of Neo Realist cinema and the heroines that inspired this show – a meeting of North Italian uprightness and stylistic gravitas and Southern sensuality. Though containing that essential unity – the Italian love of a Bella Figura or always showing the best of oneself. Riso Amaro was released in 1951, exactly the same year that Achille Maramotti founded Max Mara to create coats and eventually a whole wardrobe for modern women. Three quarters-of-a-century later, the Max Mara Group boasts annual sales in excess of €1.9 billion. 'Max Mara is about serving the woman that Achille identified – a pragmatic feminist. At Max Mara we would never discuss the word feminist for years. But then we realized the Max Mara woman is not a bra burner but the woman who wanted to achieve something with her own means,' concluded Griffiths, who was applauded to his seat for a celebratory dinner on perfectly decorated tables of flowers and crystal glass, for a dinner of octopus, fine vegetables and local Falanghina wine. Earning every clap, after one of his most succinct and elegant collection for the house.
