The Look of the Year Italia 2026 final to be held in Villasimius

The national final of The Look of the Year Italia 2026 is scheduled to take place on October 10 in Villasimius, Sardinia. The event features seven Sardinian professionals aiming to showcase the island's creative identity on a national and international stage.

Participants will compete for various titles, including style, beauty, personality, hair, cinema, and gold. Winners will advance to the world finals in Monte Carlo in mid-November. The showcase integrates traditional Sardinian craftsmanship—such as filigree, basket weaving, and macramé—with contemporary fashion design.

Luisa Cardinale, who has worked to connect international fashion with Sardinian artisanal traditions, noted that the event aims to represent the island's identity through the artistic legacy of figures like Maria Lai.
