A visual diary from Milan Fashion Week Men’s, blending fluidity, textures, and future armors.

When we visited Ten c’s SS26 collection during Milan Fashion Week with the CZMOS team, it felt like witnessing a true shedding of skin. Founded by Alessandro Pungetti, the brand evolves and expands, yet never loses its signature tension between form and function, military tech and visual delicacy.

This new season reads like a poetic exploration of contrasts: metallic surfaces vs. ethereal transparencies, technical finishes vs. flowing cuts urban armors breathing under the June sun.

An Industrial Yet Sensitive Aesthetic

At the heart of the collection lies a palette seemingly born from an imaginary foundry: copper and steel intertwine across jackets, outerwear, and structured trousers. The result is a summer style with a near-futuristic edge, surprisingly light despite its boldness.

The fabrics take center stage: from the newly developed OJJ Titanium, enhanced with advanced nanotechnologies, to the debut of Chinook Cotton — an ultra-resistant, breathable fabric originally created to protect British pilots in the 1940s, now reimagined for contemporary urban warriors.Also featured is HT Steel Nylon, a resin-coated nylon that reflects light like liquid metal, while its inner coating guarantees protection and comfort.

Sharp Cuts, Military Spirit, Effortless Elegance

What struck us most was the masterful use of laser cutting: no visible stitching, just clean lines and sculpted silhouettes. Heat-sealed pockets, inspired by British Royal Navy uniforms, are modernized with softer shapes and refined details, reinforcing Ten c’s dual soul: technical and sophisticated.

Each garment feels built to endure, time, motion, trends, yet made to flow, adapt, and transform. Here, resistance isn’t just physical; it’s a message: durability as both aesthetic and political stance.

TEN C Total Look, Zero Compromise

Since the launch of its iconic OJJ (Original Japanese Jersey), Ten c has pursued a smart evolution, growing from an outerwear label into a complete contemporary wardrobe, while staying true to its DNA of invisible quality and continuous research.

The SS26 collection confirms this path, offering a wardrobe for the modern man who refuses to choose between function and identity.

A summer of protective layers, reactive fabrics, and shifting geometries. A season where fashion once again becomes a true tool to inhabit the world.
