My dearest friends 

The air is already buzzing with the promise of a new season, and for me, that means the joyous unveiling of my Spring 2026 Occasion Wear Collection. It is always a moment of immense pride and excitement when the ideas that live in my heart finally take form and become available for you to wear and cherish on your most special days.

For Spring 2026, I have poured my passion into creating a collection that is a true celebration of refined elegance and the sheer, unadulterated happiness that surrounds a major family occasion.

My inspiration this season is a nostalgic nod to the effortless glamour of the 1950s. I wanted the collection to capture that era's innate femininity, featuring light, floaty silhouettes and adorned with exquisite delicate florals.

This season’s palette is bold yet sophisticated, embracing vibrant tones like acid greens and rich emerald, balanced beautifully with the soothing calm of soft pastels. The result is a look that is fresh yet utterly elegant. Crucially, I have designed each piece with versatility in mind; these are dresses and ensembles made to be worn more than once, for every special occasion in your calendar.

You will find silhouettes that are at once modern and timelessly elegant, translating that beautiful vintage charm into contemporary occasion wear.

To give you a glimpse into the magic we have created, let me share a few pieces that I am particularly proud of this season:

This stunning ensemble presents a classic 1950s A-line silhouette that is perfect for a sophisticated occasion like a summer wedding or a formal garden party. The dress itself is crafted in a crisp ivory fabric, featuring a tailored bodice that flows dramatically into a voluminous, mid-length skirt. The overall design draws heavy inspiration from nautical themes, utilizing striking navy piping to define the structure and movement of the piece.

The navy piping is strategically placed, outlining the modern high-round neckline, the shoulder seams, and the natural waist. Most notably, vertical lines of piping extend from the waist down the full length of the skirt. This graphic detailing not only enhances the fullness of the A-line shape but also creates a beautiful, elongating effect, giving the look a sophisticated and dynamic rhythm.

The look is completed with a highly refined cropped jacket in solid navy blue. The jacket is perfectly tailored to sit at the waist, emphasizing the hourglass silhouette of the dress beneath. It features unique three-dimensional floral appliqués in navy, placed along one shoulder to add a delicate, romantic texture that contrasts beautifully with the clean lines of the tailoring.

The ensemble on the right is pure modern drama in a stunning acid lime green. This dress features exquisite, consistent knife pleating that defines the entire silhouette, flowing seamlessly from the structured, padded shoulders down the long sleeves and into the magnificent, full A-line skirt. The entire look is cinched with a broad, matching buckle belt that instantly defines the waist, offering that highly desired, structured 1950s definition. A delicate floral appliqué rests on the shoulder, adding a beautiful textural contrast to the precision of the pleats.

Its companion, the romantic printed gown, offers a softer, more ethereal interpretation of the theme. Crafted from a light, floaty chiffon, it features a lush, blurred watercolour floral print in varying shades of green, yellow, and subtle violet accents. The design embraces volume with pleated blouson sleeves that meet at a flattering V-neckline. The fluid fabric and full, airy skirt speak directly to the "light, floaty" inspiration of the collection, making it utterly divine for a sunlit garden celebration.

This dress is rendered in the softest pastel, a soothing hue that speaks directly to the 'soft pastels' in our seasonal palette. The beauty lies in its striking asymmetrical design. The bodice features a contemporary neckline with one alluring bare shoulder, complemented by a flowing, sheer chiffon drape on the opposite side. This detail adds incredible movement and an ethereal quality, ensuring the dress is light and floaty around the shoulders.

The skirt is cut to an elegant, asymmetrical midi length with a fluid, handkerchief hemline. The real statement is the diagonal pleating insert—a meticulous panel of delicate knife pleats that begins at the hip and spirals downwards. This feature creates a dynamic texture and ensures that the skirt moves with breath-taking grace. The look is completed with subtle, shimmering embellishment tracing the waistline, providing a gentle sparkle that catches the light. This is a design of absolute refinement, perfect for the Mother of the Bride or Groom seeking a fresh, unforgettable, and exquisitely detailed style.

This stunning dress is rendered in a delicate blush hue, a perfect pastel shade for a springtime celebration. The fabric is a visual delight, entirely covered in meticulous all-over sequin and bead work arranged in a beautiful, classic scrolling pattern that catches the light with every movement. The sophisticated silhouette is a tailored pencil midi-length, hugging the figure for an elegant and confident fit.

The design features unique, contemporary details at the neckline—a high-neck yoke with an alluring keyhole cutout, adding a modern touch to the fitted bodice. The most dramatic and captivating feature is the integrated chiffon cape. The sheer fabric drapes gracefully from the shoulders, flowing softly down the arms to create an unforgettable, ethereal movement that replaces the need for a traditional jacket.

The true Veni Infantino signature remains: attention to detail. Every embellishment, every lace panel, and every perfectly tailored piece is designed to make the Mother of the Bride or Groom not just look beautiful, but feel utterly magnificent and confident. It is about celebrating your role as the matriarch with grace and style.
