Milan Fashion Week

Emporio Armani SS26 arrives at Milan Fashion Week as more than a seasonal collection - it is a moment of homage, of closure, and of forward-looking beauty. Titled Returns (Ritorni), this is the first Emporio show following Giorgio Armani's death. The runway becomes a space of remembrance: empty yet full; refined yet emotionally raw. There is an unmistakable sense that while the designer is absent, his vision — his elegance, restraint, love for fabric — continues to pulse thro

With SS26, Prada (under Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons) takes the uniform — a symbol of order, conformity, duty — and frees it from its constraints. The show becomes a manifesto for individuality through structure, for rebellion against rules, and for fluidity beneath façades. In a glossy orange-painted showroom, Prada lets us confront the paradox: how something as rigid as a uniform can become the very vehicle for expression. The show is staged in a space coated in vivid orang

Anteprima returns for Spring/Summer 2026 with a collection that feels like the echo of a dream-light, architectural, and quietly expressive. With Creative Director Izumi Ogino's consistent affinity for texture, layering, and detail, SS26 seems poised between structure and softness: a musical interlude of shapes, transparencies, and whispered craftsmanship. The show opens in spaces where light plays softly on sheer fabrics; floor surfaces reflect softly, giving garments room t

BOSS returns for SS26 under the title Paradox, staging a mirrored meditation on contrast. In Milan this season, the brand plays with extremes-formality vs. looseness, precision vs. disarray, structure vs. fluidity-and builds pieces that live in tension. The result is a collection that feels both familiar and unsettled, smart but breathless, polished yet slightly undone. The show is set against reflective runway mirrors, polished surfaces designed by Boris Acket, creating imme

Genny's Spring/Summer 2026 collection is titled "Unpredictable Curves" - a fitting manifesto for a season that places the feminine form, organic lines, and floral metaphors at its heart. At its most romantic and architectural, the collection feels like a botanical drawing come alive: petals unfurl, silhouettes swell and recede, and the curves of nature echo in collars, hems, and bodices. The creative impulse, as the show notes reveal, stems from the Phalaenopsis orchid. The f

In Spring/Summer 2026, Max Mara doesn't just dress women-it arms them with elegance. Under Lan Griffiths, the brand offers a collection that responds to current tensions—both climatic and cultural—by blending softness with structure, restraint with flirtation. The runway becomes a negotiation between power dressing and poetic escape. At first glance, there is a sense of breath: fabrics that flutter, shoulders that billow in organza, hips given volume through volutes of frothy

KNWLS's Spring/Summer 2026 collection marks a turning point—a declaration of arrival. For the first time staging in Milan, Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault push their creative boundaries by aligning their signature bold sensuality with high-performance sportswear via a significant collaboration with Nike. The result isn't just an expansion of scale, but a sharpening of their voice: stronger, fiercer, more sculpted. Making its debut in Padiglione Visconti, KNWLS's Mil

Etro's Spring/Summer 2026 presents itself with quiet confidence. Under Marco De Vincenzo's direction, the house leans into the architecture of its heritage — especially paisley and ornamental prints — but tempers their flamboyance with a gentler touch. Rather than exploding outward, this is a collection that internalizes exuberance, allowing detail to breathe within softer silhouettes and composed moods. The collection was shown via a showroom format rather than a dramatic ru

Alessandro Dell'Acqua arrives at SS26 with a collection that speaks softly but refuses to stay silent. There is a mood of reflection here, of beauty tinged by worry, of glamour set against uneasy times. But for all that weight, N°21 still insists on levity: dresses flutter, lace whispers, knits drape, and accessories punctuate. It is a collection of contrasts: sumptuous versus modest, polished versus disheveled, hope versus melancholic realism. Dell'Acqua opens his vision wit

Onitsuka Tiger's SS26 collection arrives under the banner of "Urban Fantasy", a fitting manifesto for a brand that has long existed at the crossroads of sport, heritage, and everyday wear. Under Andrea Pompilio's guidance, the show strikes a delicate balance between nostalgia and innovation, drawing on the past while reaching toward the cosmopolitan present. From the opening moments, the collection signals dualities: sun and shadow; tailoring and track; classic and experiment

In a season where many brands chase novelty, Missoni, under Alberto Caliri, takes a more deliberate route. SS26 reveals itself as a meditation on identity, not for the sake of reinvention, but for refinement. With Caliri's steady hand, the house leans into its core codes (knit, zigzag, texture) while nudging toward lighter, more spirited silhouettes. It is heritage honored, but not held captive. Missoni's show opened not with spectacle, but with a wink of escapism. Guests fou

Vivetta's SS26 feels like a plunge into an aquatic fantasy—one where the boundaries between sea and city blur, and mermaids wander into everyday life. The collection, aptly themed "Sirens Just Wanna Have Fun," reinterprets the brand's surrealist, feminine codes through a more sensual, dreamlike lens. What's striking is how the brand balances play and polish, whimsy and artistry, offering looks that feel both escapist and materially grounded. The show conjures an underwater re

Silvia Venturini Fendi's Spring/Summer 2026 collection asserts itself with both artistry and playfulness, a vivid declaration that the couture house's DNA-luxury, craftsmanship, and elegance-is alive, evolving, and unafraid to bloom. With this season, Venturini Fendi takes full creative command, delivering a co-ed runway show that melds the brand's heritage with youthful exuberance and a joyous romanticism. The show unfolds in Fendi's Milan headquarters, the runway stage ador

In SS26, Antonio Marras stages more than a runway show-he leads us into a story, an evocation of place and literary travel set against the raw, reflective white salt flats of Alghero. This is a collection built on dreamscapes and anchored in identity: Sardinia, myth, art, and the drifts of travelers and writers who become characters in Marras's own tapestry. The show opens with more than texture: it begins with voice. Books scattered across dunes of salt; models walking, clim

Daniela Gregis returns for Spring/Summer 2026 with a collection that feels born of both intimacy and wanderlust — a soft hymn to craftsmanship, to breathable forms, to the spaces in between structure and freedom. Gregis's runway, as ever, is less about spectacle and more about presence. The show opens with garments that speak in sighs rather than proclamations — flowing layers that catch the air, textures that whisper rather than rustle. There's a humility about how the cloth

Simone Bellotti's debut for Jil Sander feels less like a departure and more like a rediscovery. With the SS26 show held once again in the brand's modernist headquarters overlooking Milan's Castello Sforzesco, Bellotti signals a return to the house's architectural roots. It's about space, structure, and the subtle revelation of form. The opening of the collection is graceful. Guinevere Van Seenus (among the faces reprised from past Jil Sander campaigns) strides out in a sleek

Light spills in through tall loft windows in the historic heart of Milan — and it is like stepping into a painter's vision of spring at its most hopeful. Luisa Beccaria, joined by her daughter Lucilla, moves her atelier to a sunlit loft, staging "Soul in Bloom - Atelier d'Été" at the courtyard of Palazzo Bovara. The setting feels intentional: a clean start, a new chapter. "Soul in Bloom" is more than seasonal flourishes; it is a mood of renewal. As the Beccarias explain, this

Iceberg SS26 emerges at Milan with the energy of transformation-in the hands of James Long, the house leans into an evolving identity: one foot in its storied past, the other stepping into freer territory. The collection feels like an expedition of textures, proportions, and sporty romance — a statement that comfort and vision do not have to be at odds. The runway presents itself cleanly, with a minimal staging that allows garment detail to become the star. The lighting accen

With SS26, Alberta Ferretti offers a collection that feels like an elegy to femininity — not in its fragility, but in its quiet power. Under Lorenzo Serafini's stewardship, the show weaves together a sensibility of romantic softness and structural intention, casting light on what it means to be tender and resolute all at once. The runway opens against soft lighting, with models stepping into gowns and separates that seem dusted with dew. The mood is one of ethereal dawn: shim

Stepping into Dhruv Kapoor's SS26 presentation is like entering a liminal space where heritage meets tomorrow. For his debut womenswear slot in Milan under the theme "Foundations and Futures", Kapoor forges a dialogue between the roots of his design identity and the shifting expectations of fashion's next chapter. The show is staged at Via Tortona, and from the moment the lights dim, a tension arises between expectation and evolution. Kapoor, who has been celebrated for his m
