A Mediterranean series of color and emotion
Waves break, espresso bubbles on the stove, laughter rises as the sun dips below the horizon. Anticipation, joy, and nostalgia—stitched between the stripes, evoked through artisanal craftsmanship, lingering like the scent of salt on sun-kissed skin.
Harmont & Blaine writes its Summer Diaries with a collection that transforms memories of the brightest months into an emotional and chromatic journey. Designed as a stylistic series of episodes about summer’s defining moments—from city-paced days to sun-soaked holidays, right through August’s final golden hours, when the spirit recharges for the return to urban life. Blending inspirations that capture the essence of the season, each look channels the Mediterranean lifestyle through casual elegance, sporty flair, and a throwback retro feel.
Summer Diaries
Episode 1
Sport Rewind
The collection embraces transitional fabrics such as indigo-dyed gabardine, denim, chenille, cotton, and linen, merging urban sophistication with sporty ease in a warm, earthy palette—navy blues, sand, and sage, punctuated by vivid mango and pomegranate red. A ’90s revival nods to preppy influences and carefree vibes, whisking us from Ivy League campuses to Hamptons beaches. Micro-jacquard motifs elevate knitwear; iconic stripes define mix-and-match shirting; sweatshirts feature tennis-inspired prints, while geometric patterns reimagine vintage wallpapers and illustrations.
The Re-Loved capsule, in collaboration with Italian brand Re-Jàvu Milano, breathes new life into archival pieces and unforgotten fabrics, reimagined through the lens of circularity and responsible recycling.
Episode 2
Colors of Joy
Cheerful, unfiltered, bursting with life—this is the Mediterranean summer in full bloom, echoing terrace lunches, Vespa rides, and the hand-painted ceramics of the Amalfi Coast. The palette leans into nautical blue, fuchsia, sunbeam yellow, citrus orange, and poppy red, softened by white and beige. Traditional majolica designs get a graphic geometric twist, while stripes are reimagined with micro and macro clashes in multicolor or brushstroke effects, as seen in the reinvented Piazzetta shirt.
The Sorbetto line captures the zest and freshness of fruit gelato with vibrant stripes in varying scales.
The Artigianalità a Colori capsule continues its partnership with local artisans and specialized workshops, crafting yarn-dyed linens and English gauze fabrics through premium, *100% Made-in-Italy* techniques.
Episode 3
The Last Postcard
The end of summer is softened by sun-faded hues—palladium pink, aquamarine, mandarin, and sesame—on clean-lined linen and cotton silhouettes. The last holiday days drift in washed-out dyes, while florals and stripes mingle with color-blocking and tie-dye blends.
The Postcard capsule features tees, swimwear, and dresses printed with all-over vistas of iconic summer escapes—from Capri and Portofino to Ibiza and Miami—like vintage postcards sent from the coolest resort destinations.
The Earth Dye selection deepens its eco-conscious experimentation and commitment to reducing environmental impact, using natural pigments in ochre, Cassel brown, Nicosia green, and Pompeian red. The project continues to support treedom.net, an Italian B Corp restoring at-risk ecosystems—including Harmont & Blaine’s newly planted forest in Ecuador—for a greener and more sustainable future.

Re-Loved
A new upcycled capsule in collaboration with Re-Jàvu Milano
Re-loving means finding new beauty and new emotions in what we’ve loved before. It means recycling, reusing, and reinventing pieces that we can still wear, with a creative and responsible approach, allowing us to reduce our impact on the planet. It means reshaping, redecorating, and recoloring fabrics, materials, and silhouettes that deserve to remain in our wardrobe for their unique style and quality, since what is Re-Loved always holds a magical vibe and a deeper meaning woven into its story.
COLLECTION
Harmont & Blaine reaffirms its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship by giving a second life to cherished, unforgotten fabrics and garments from past collections—unearthed from the archives and reimagined through the lens of circularity and responsible recycling.
Designed in collaboration with Roberto Lonoce, Co-founder and Creative Director of Re-Jàvu Milano, the new Re-Loved collection celebrates reinvention and transformation, rooted in the intrinsic beauty and quality of materials—timeless values that continue to inspire the brand’s designs beyond fleeting trends.
For this reason, the partnership with the designer will continue, with a second Re-Loved capsule already confirmed for the Fall-Winter season.
At its core, the project is a process of redefinition and reshaping, exploring the endless possibilities of fabrics and silhouettes that stand the test of time as they are reinterpreted through innovative layering and hybrid designs. Like a textile alchemist, Roberto Lonoce recombines elements, breaking down and remapping lines, textures, and patterns into entirely new, unexpected configurations—much like the visionary flights of an eclectic tailor weaving the past into the present.
Harmont & Blaine’s iconic motifs remain the only constants (yet limitlessly reconfigurable) in Re-Jàvu Milano’s waste-free, upcycling philosophy: multicolor prints, stripes, florals, patchworks, polo and bowling shirts, technical outerwear, and chino pants. And, unsurprisingly, Blaine the dachshund, now restyled as a dedicated label framed by the Möbius triangle.
The quilted nylon vest is reconstructed with sleeves and pockets repurposed from striped poplin shirts. The field jacket is reworked with inserts from old trousers. A reversible jacket gets a fresh twist, pairing houndstooth with linen canvas embellished with star motifs and patch pockets. The re-shirt concept spans from the reissued Piazzetta shirt—crafted from three archival fabrics (monochrome, floral, and striped)—to fusing two designs into one, featuring micro-patterns or checks, accented by jacquard ribbons.
Chinos, Bermuda shorts, and jeans are reborn from upcycled predecessors—reconditioned, recut, and reassembled—joined by boxers made from past seasons’ shirting fabrics.
The lineup includes Re-Loved logo tees and multi-material polos with triple collars playing with prints and solids, as well as bikini tops for feminine styling.
Accessories embrace the same ethos: crossbody bags in shirting fabrics, large totes with four handles—upcycled from leftover bull and denim pants—double-wrap belts braided from two leather belts, and sarongs and scarves in remixed linens and silks.
