Pé de Chumbo Fall/Winter 2026/27: Between What Remains

Pé de Chumbo presented their Fall/Winter 2026/27 collection, Between What Remains, on Saturday, February 28, as part of the Official Calendar of Milan Fashion Week.

There is something that endures when everything else dissolves. A trace. A density in the air. An almost imperceptible presence that refuses to disappear.

BETWEEN WHAT REMAINS emerges from this silent territory, not from evidence, but from what insists. The collection explores the in-between space: between matter and memory, between body and absence, between gesture and time. The silhouettes are restrained, refined to their essence.

Construction privileges precision and permanence: structured coats, dresses that follow the body with control, coordinated looks that balance strength and fragility. There is no excess, only intention.

The fabrics reinforce this sense of duration. Dense, voluminous, structured wools; textures that absorb light and create depth. The palette moves through neutral and mineral tones, where red is not merely color, but presence. The collection does not narrate a linear story. It inhabits the interval. It questions what resists when the noise subsides. What remains when the surface disappears.

Founded in 1995 by the Portuguese fashion designer Alexandra Oliveira, PÉ DE CHUMBO is a women’s clothing brand known for their experimentation and innovative techniques of mixing different fabrics and yarns in a handmade process.

Thread is the central theme in PÉ DE CHUMBO’s collections. The creative process focuses on experimentation and originates from materials and threads that are then designed and made into fabric. After the thread is select and the fabric is created, the garment takes shape with the fitting process. Some of the thread used in the collections comes from waste sourced in surrounding factories of the designer’s hometown of Guimarães-one of the largest textile industry hubs in Portugal. This not only reduces textile waste, but also promotes a more circular and sustainable approach to fashion.

Every collection is handcrafted locally, piece by piece, thread by thread. The designer favours textures and materials over silhouettes, allowing the thread to design the garments and give them their shape. Each fabric is created in an almost artisanal quality that is truly unique and exclusive to the brand.
