A Line unveiled today its Winter 2025-26 collection, marked by timeless elegance and meticulous attention to tailoring and materials. This is the second collection signed by designer Diogo Miranda, who joined the brand’s creative direction in 2024.
The collection evokes the glamour of bygone eras with a contemporary interpretation, aimed at women who value presence and sophistication without ostentation, explains the designer in an interview with T Jornal.
“The Autumn-Winter 2025-26 collection was conceived through a fascination with timeless elegance, inspired by the charm of classic lenses and the cinematic glamour of past eras. We aimed to create pieces that transcend fleeting trends, focusing on a lasting expression of style and sophistication.”
The launch continues to emphasize the luxury of materials, featuring refined wools, cashmere, silk, and structured cottons, with particular attention to couture-cut coats.
“The silhouettes in this collection explore the subtle balance between masculine and feminine, evoking an era defined by impeccable tailoring and understated yet impactful details. Material selection was central to the creative process: we chose sumptuous wools, high-quality cashmere, and premium cottons, always prioritizing touch, comfort, and durability. Sustainability was also a constant concern, opting for responsible suppliers and processes that minimize environmental impact,” he adds.
The greatest challenge for Diogo Miranda and his team was finding the balance between tradition and innovation, classic refinement, and the needs of the modern woman. He concludes: “We wanted to create pieces that convey confidence and subtlety, without relying on excess or ostentation.”
The pieces will be available in physical stores and online at the end of this month. Currently, the website highlights the Spring-Summer collection, which received extremely positive feedback from both the public and critics.
“Although the brand already had a loyal clientele and well-received products, we felt a clear positioning and consistent narrative were missing,” says the creative director, confirming that this was achieved over the past year thanks to the team’s dedication and daily efforts to bring the brand to a wider audience while remaining true to its values.
“Today we convey a cohesive image, engaging storytelling, and a relationship of trust with our customers. Initiatives from the A LINE Club have been key in this process: each month we share a curated music selection and organize seasonal gatherings in-store, where customers can discover new collections and connect with each other,” he shares firsthand.
A Line has thus evolved from being a product-focused brand to a platform—not only for clothing pieces but as a community where customers feel integrated. In terms of commercial performance, Diogo Miranda confirms that the brand is increasingly recognized in Portugal, with a significant rise in new customers.
“On the international stage, we made an important step with our first participation during Paris Fashion Week last March. The feedback was extremely positive, with many professionals and customers expressing surprise and admiration upon discovering that this is a Portuguese brand with such high-quality standards.”
He acknowledges that international recognition is a gradual process but remains confident in their path. “We want to continue our journey discreetly, always focusing on sustainability, awareness, and purpose,” he concludes, ending with an announcement—the A LINE MEN line. Plans also include expanding the unisex product offering.
“Our goal is to bring something that truly adds value, highlighting Portuguese design, craftsmanship, and know-how that define us so well. We believe our identity—Locally made, proudly Portuguese—has the potential to reach new audiences,” he closes confidently.
