In an era that celebrates quiet luxury, Taller Marmo dares to revel in the unapologetically extravagant. With Nocturne, its Resort 2026 collection, the Dubai-based label opens the first chapter in a shimmering trilogy that explores excess as an art form—an ode to the drama, allure, and rebellion that define true glamour.
Each piece is a dialogue between decades. The elegance of the 1930s merges with the sensuality of the 1970s, the flamboyance of the 1980s, and the untamed energy of the 1920s. The result is a hypnotic collision of eras, where flapper silhouettes are reinvented in metallic jacquards, velvet caftans shimmer under studio lights, and the grandeur of the Belle Époque finds a modern rhythm in bold, sculpted cuts.
The collection’s palette pulses with rich intensity—deep ruby, violet, chartreuse, and liquorice black—a chromatic symphony that evokes midnight decadence. Fabrics are tactile and sensual: multicoloured floral velvet devoré sets the tone for chromatic indulgence, while silk and viscose velvets create opulent texture. Crepe chiffon, two-tone metallic organza jacquard, and sequined textiles form a visual crescendo, each surface alive with light. Ostrich feathers and tonal fringe amplify the movement of kaftans and gowns, their theatricality balanced by Taller Marmo’s refined tailoring.
At the heart of Nocturne lies an evolution of silhouette. Inspired by the sensual minimalism of the 1970s, the collection introduces a more streamlined form—fluid yet fiercely feminine. Micro lengths, daring slits, open backs, and crystal buckles lend contemporary edge to Taller Marmo’s signature flow, offering both modest grace and bold self-expression.
Every garment carries a whisper of the women who shaped the early 20th-century avant-garde—Peggy Guggenheim, Marchesa Casati, Leonor Fini, Theda Bara—women who lived by their own rules and dressed as if life itself were a performance. Through them, Nocturne becomes not just fashion, but a celebration of character, intellect, and artful defiance.
Captured by Francesco Scotti, starring Adit Priscilla and styled by Alba Melendo, the campaign unfolds within the gilded walls of a Milanese villa—a tableau of old-world grandeur and contemporary confidence.
Available from September 2025, Taller Marmo’s Nocturne invites those who live for the after-hours: women who understand that elegance is never quiet, and excess—when executed with precision—is the purest form of sophistication.
