The 10-year anniversary show had been teased in past days announcing the theme 10 feel like 100, which came to life on the runway with the feature of elderly models.
To explain what they mean by “10 feel like 100”, SUNNEI’s founders said: “over this decade we’ve traveled through time to the point of losing all sense of it.” So this season the point is about distortion of time.
The location was Lia Rumma gallery in Milan, an ode to the community of creatives and artists around the brand.
The print series of the season features women faces drawn by Marylène Fantoni (co-founder Loris Messina’s mother) in the 1980s which were then set in a futuristic dystopian background. They will be already available soon after the show.
On the runway we presented the second SUNNEI x CAMPER collaboration, whose name is T100 Pelotissima. Four shoe styles playful in their color combinations and featuring an innovative double-sole design.

A limited release of the exclusive SUNNEI cc-tapis rugs is now available on sunnei.it.
Seven distinctive rugs have been developed, each echoing the color combination and original animal-shaped cutouts of the 72sqm Runway Rug from SUNNEI’s FW24 show.
The resonance of the massive rug from the show, made us decide to create these purchasable variants for the community. This is a limited release and more will become available in autumn.
These 7 styles are characterized by seven different sizes. Each rug echoes the color combination and original animal-shaped cutouts of the iconic Runway Rug.
Made with robotufting technology in cc-tapis’ Milanese prototyping center, the collection is created with Econyl® yarn, an innovative material made from nylon waste. A material that can be regenerated time and time again.
The first creative collaboration between Camper and SUNNEI presents the FORONE, a one-shoe concept that reinvents the way we think about footwear. Sold as a single shoe that is 100% symmetrical, with no left or right, the FORONE can be worn on either foot. There are 5 colorways to play with so the wearer can customize their matching or mismatched pair.

During Milan Design Week, our Head Quarters' doors are open for our community to visit SUNNEI x cc-tapis - THE PROCESS.
SUNNEI x cc-tapis: The Process' is a multi-sensory retrospective installation that looks back at the collaborative journey culminating in the unveiling of the 72 square-meter rug at our FW24 Show.
Sooner or later in life, everyone wishes they had a superpower, don’t we all? And in this industry, a mind-reading vending machine would certainly have the longest queue. How many thoughts never get the chance to be expressed, how many others get distorted on their journey from mind to mouth? Take models. Who ever cares about what they think? This season, we are giving their reflections some space by using them as the soundtrack of the show.
One by one, models and their thoughts enter the scene, and their walk is not on a catwalk but on the gigantic rug: the fruit of a collaboration with the design brand cc-tapis.
Moreover, at the SUNNEI FW24 show, several models were spotted holding shoes concealed by vibrant covers adorned with the text "SUNNEI CAMPER, JUNE 2024".
The FW23 Whatever Print capsule collection was celebrated with an event at our flagship store in Milano.
For the occasion, the artist behind the Whatever Print - a member of the SUNNEI team - hand-painted the store window with some of the most iconic elements from the capsule collection.
For those who didn’t have the chance to be there, we offered the opportunity to download 5 different artworks from the Whatever collection on sunnei.it

If everybody says “come to our show and watch it”, we say “come and please, do not just watch”. Our guests, whether physically or digitally present, are never just a part of the set design; they are ingredients of the experience, just as much as the collection and models. And this time we are saying “Come, watch, and express your thoughts on what you see”, because the audience has always something to say.
At SUNNEI, collection and show are never two separate entities accidentally crossing the same road. From moment zero there’s a clear image founders Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo seek to instill in their community's collective consciousness, using clothing and performance serve as instruments to materialize their vision.
When browsing our new collection, we don’t hope to hear you say “This is something I would have never expected from SUNNEI”, you should look at it and feel the soothing sensation that SUNNEI is never-changing while being never the same.

Guests were part of something special, going beyond the concept of “runway”.
Catharsis is a process of purification aimed at expelling bad energy and absorbing positivity, this is more or less what happened. It’s a ritual connecting whoever is in the room, no matter if you are part of the audience, no one is just a watcher at SUNNEI shows. Because each season, the aim is to create an interaction between Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo, guests, models and location.
The crochet fur on ready-to-wear and headpieces is probably what guests will remember this show for, together with the comeback of 1000chiodi shoes, spherical jewels filled with unidentified liquids and the sense of having taken part in a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Introduced with the Fall Winter 2019 collection and requested by our community since then, this piece channels the brand’s usual 90s’ nostalgia with its wallpaper-like landscape pattern.
Two of SUNNEI’s most recognizable designs, Labauletto and Lacubetto bags are part of a family in constant expansion with releases of new colorways and style variants every season.
The SS23 iterations have been captured by Imruh Asha and Alessio Bolzoni.
Do What You Want is SUNNEI’s perfect basic: a selection of monochromatic pieces customisable with black or white iron-on SUNNEI logos.
Reflecting the universality of these items, a campaign featuring 100 individuals was shared on IG.

Everybody was saying "job offer" at Palazzina Sunnei. One day, when someone from the team asked who was Joe Boffer, meaning “the person everybody kept mentioning”, a general laughter unleashed. This play on words is what stands behind this special SS23 t-shirt collection.
Today, do you feel like being the Head Of Fashion? Or do you feel more like a Trend Forecaster? Are you a Buyer or a Free-Lance? Shall we call you Art Director or Joe Boffer?
The SS23 show takes place in Palazzina SUNNEI. The room is white: a container for infinite possibilities. Here, reality, for whatever the word means, can be distorted, turned upside down through our lens.
All of a sudden, spectators in their own not-SUNNEI clothing become models and walk the catwalk upstream. Inside the microscopic non-space of a revolving door something happens. A transformation occurs in the blink of an eye and the model is now in full SUNNEI gear. Who is the onlooker, and who is the one who is looked at?
Gomma means rubber, these bags are named after the material they are made of.
GOMMA21 BAG: medium size handbag composed of 21 rubber bands.
GOMMA5 BAG: crossbody mini bag composed of 5 rubber bands.
GOMMA3 BAG: cardcase composed of 3 rubber bands.
SUNNEI System Vol.2 is our third vinyl record.
As for the previous ones, it includes the soundtrack of one of our shows (the SS22 one) and three unreleased tracks.
The Spring Summer 22 runway was the one where all models were wearing the Prototipo 3 sunglasses we unveiled on that occasion, which is why they are also protagonists of this vinyl’s sleeve. Indeed, the 3D avatar’s eyes depicted on the cover are hidden by a Prototipo 3 sticker easy off and on.

Milan’s urban landscape provides the backdrop for the set designed and curated by 2050+ and SUNNEI: a temporary cinematic stage exposing the hectic spectacle of the fashion industry.
The aesthetics of the stage – conceived as a transportable, technical infrastructure – echoes that of a movie set: a two-tier tribune, 60 meters in length, accommodating guests, inviting them to become participants of a staged act. Suspended above their heads, a bridge structure supports props and other devices: cranes, butterflies, balloons and grip clouds, all with various textures, materials and colors overlapping one another.

The Fall Winter 2022 show represents a moment of irony in the midst of the Fashion Week craze, a little pause from the frenzy that pushes us through these times.
At the show, models run instead of walking which is why guests are asked to record all their footage in slow motion. That’s how attendees become part of the spectacle, simultaneously main characters and directors.

SUNNEI’s community was gathered in occasion of our first party in New York City. Set inside the brand’s future showroom area, the night was livened up by the live DJ set by SUNNEI long-time friend and collaborator TOCCI.
The SPRING SUMMER 22 show corresponds with the tangible apotheosis of a new dimension of the label which guests get to explore first hand through an impalpable yet revealing experience at a real life presentation designed in collaboration with interdisciplinary agency 2050+.
A crescendo of uncomfortable white lights welcomes guests in the gallery, teleporting them through time and space. The bright escalation is so disturbing that a filter is needed to get through it. It’s a new iteration of the brand’s sunglasses, the PROTOTIPO 3 that attendees collected before entering the aisle.
The experimental garments adorning models are the testimony of the brand’s acquired maturity where minimalism of lines and explosion of colors and sophisticated processes are at their finest balance.
Right after the presentation, the Spring Summer 2022 journey continues on sunnei.it where a limited quantity of PROTOTIPO3 sunglasses are immediately available, together with some of the Labauletto Bags the community requested the most.
During Design Week, SUNNEI invited its community to a special dinner taking place at the brand’s headquarter.
After an aperitivo inside Palazzina Sunnei, guests were surprised by being asked to exit the building and discover that the meal would be served at a more than 30 mts long table installed in the middle of the street heading to the label’s main offices.
This was the surreal ambience conceived to host a memorable moment of conviviality after a long time and enjoy the excuisite prepared by SUNNEI friend and collaborator Anna Velardi.
In occasion of the Milano Design Week, SUNNEI is unveiling an installation designed by NM3 whose presence transforms and enriches the area in front of the brand’s flagship store in Via Vela, 8.
The piece consists of a steel cube with two extensions on the sides so that it becomes possible to sit on it. A maple tree rises from the center of the metallic structure, blending two diverse elements that together give life to a unique union.
Together with the new outdoor set up, a special window sticker featuring the looks of the new collection welcomes our visitors and passers-by.
The inauguration of this upgraded version of the store was used as an opportunity to gather the brand’s network and celebrate with an event.
From September 1st to September 30th, the first SUNNEI Objects collection can be found at a custom corner on the -1 floor at Rinascente Milano.
A paradoxical clash resulting from the combination of Canvas’ digital nature and SUNNEI founders’ urge to act as interpreters of what they have experienced first-hand over the past year. The SS22 Canvas collection reflects a period in which the brand’s headquarter was the only alternative to home and the team members were the only people they interacted with. Taking from this unparalleled situation, the range sees the current SUNNEI team morphing into a set of 3D avatars modelling the collection, coming to life through an immersive audio-visual experience blurring the lines between reality and technology. From June 19th to June 27th, the label’s freshly inaugurated space at Palazzina Sunnei becomes the scenario of this surreal itinerary.
Building upon Canvas’ raison d’être as “a parallel line providing a collection of blank signature pieces for retailers to customise to their liking by selecting textiles, colours, shapes and other details through a dedicated digital platform”, in this third edition SUNNEI is extending the customising experience to final clients for the first time ever.
One year after the inauguration of the brand’s headquarter - known as Palazzina Sunnei - we are glad to announce its most recent transformation: the annexation of Palazzina 2.
Following to the team’s explosive growth and the label’s evolution, Palazzina 2 is a supplementary 400 sqm building allowing SUNNEI to relocate all of its core activities in-house.
The freshly-added three floors gave us the chance to adjust and redefine the purpose of each area of both structures based on what was needed to have a self-sufficient ecosystem. The two complementary wings include dedicated work areas, break corners, meeting rooms, a garden, a kitchen and much more.

With its Fall Winter 2021 project, SUNNEI gives physicality to the digital territory as it uses the material nature of the screen as the essence of its contents. The short movie that corresponds to the official launch of the collection encapsulates these elements in a dreamlike, hallucinating film suspended in time and space.
The official photos present the models smashed against the screen of the viewer, once again giving realness to virtual images and reflecting how Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo think it is worth communicating the collection.

The assumption that this tool has meaning only when used for virtual effects is disregarded which transports viewers to the set of a movie left to open interpretation.

The utopian search of the perfect t-shirt has come to an end: SUNNEI has just found the right equation to release a product that is shaped on its owner.
SUNNEI’s ultimate t-shirt balances those ingredients that have always characterized the brand:
- Made In Italy: just like each and every SUNNEI piece
- Quality: jersey t-shirts in 100% high-end cotton
- Community: giving them a plain t-shirt to customize using white and/or black iron-on logo transfers
The result is the Do What You Want T-Shirt: a set of genderless high quality monochromatic short sleeve and long sleeve t-shirts with no logo that are suitable to everyone thanks to the brand’s widest range of sizes (from XXS to XXL) added to a broad variety of bold & basic colors and the chance to modify the item on their taste.
On the 16th of February these special items will become available as a SUNNEI exclusive on sunnei.it and inside the brand’s Milanese Flagship store.
