Every C.P. Company collection is born from the encounter between the brand’s historical archive and a forward-looking research approach. The Spring/Summer 2027 collection advances this trajectory, unfolding across the matic clusters that reinterpret iconic garments and techniques through a contemporary approach. Dyeing is explored as both a tool for achieving chromatic depth and, for the first time, as a subtractive process, stripping colour back to create a new visual vocabulary. Surface treatments go further still, with techniques that alter the fabric’s structure rather than simply finishing it. The focus on concealment and versatility in functional construction is taken to the next level, even rethinking one of the brand’s most recognisable signatures, the Lens, to create a more essential, understated form.
One of the collection’s focal points is the capsule dedicated to the Mille Jacket, introduced in 1988 by Massimo Osti for the historic car race Mille Miglia and since then one of the brand’s most iconic pieces. For Spring/Summer 027,the jacket is revisited in 50 Fili in its original silhouette and detailing, with ‘Fissato’ resin treatment and garment dyeing. The capsule is completed by sweatshirts and t-shirts in cotton fleece subjected to the same treatment, all featuring the’1988’graphic logo: a direct reference to the edition of the motor race in which the Mille Jacket was first presented.
Continuing the dialogue with the archive, the collection introduces a version of the Goggle Jacket in nubuck leather with a British Sailor print on the inner lining. The jacket’s functional construction-detachable hood, concealed closure and front pockets-is paired with the tactile nature of nubuck: a distinctive finish that gives the garment a material quality destined to evolve with wear.
Experimentation continues on the textile treatment front with the new M-Bossed²,a structural pattern obtained through an evolved etching technique. The nylon twill is “printed” with a custom camouflage design through a process that partially fuses the fibres, creating an embossed, textured effect. The subsequent garment dyeing amplifies the chromatic rendering, bringing the motif to a further level of definition.

The Sunfade range stems from the same experimental attitude and from a precise question: what happens to the surface of a garment left exposed to sunlight in the archive for years? The fading, the chromatic layering, the marks of time become a starting point for defining a new language. With Sunfade, C.P. Company sets out to replicate in production what time produces naturally, working for the first time by subtraction rather than addition. An approach that makes explicit the brand’s relationship with time: not something to endure, but a tool to study, compress, and translate from a contemporary perspective. Applied after garment dyeing, the treatment targets specific areas through a manual decolouration process that generates irregular tonal variations with a lived-in appearance, making each piece unique.
The collection also marks a significant evolution in the brand’s visual identity, introducing the concealable Lens. Integrated into a flap pocket with an embroidered logo, it recalls the spirit of the earliest C.P. Company garments, which did not feature it: a detail that reflects the brand’s current direction, oriented towards a more essential and versatile elegance.
