Di Petsa's Spring 2027 collection turns motherhood into fabric and form. The designer worked through her signature draping, threading dribbling strings and tethered cords that read as umbilical, connective tissue between one body and the next. It is a collection that treats maternal instinct as a design principle, not just a season's theme.
