In his second Milan runway, Peruvian designer Jorge Luis Salinas stakes a clearer claim: that craft, identity, and color can carry narrative without overt spectacle. The SS26 collection reads like a bridge between heritage and modern dressing, between intimacy and statement, between local hands and global runways. It is at once luminous and rooted, expressive yet grounded. J.Salinas enlisted stylist Anna Dello Russo for the show, signaling seriousness about staging and narrat

For SS26, Calcaterra appears poised between earth and architecture. Daniele Calcaterra, known for his sculptural forms, organic textures, and natural palettes, doesn't depart radically here—instead, he deepens what he's been exploring: the tension between the natural world and modern form; between fluidity and structure; between subtle volume and intentional outline. Calcaterra has long been a designer who listens to nature. Earlier collections (notably SS25 "Connessioni") we

Milano Moda Graduate SS26 returned as a vital echo of what Italian fashion keeps renewing itself through: young designers, raw ideas, craft experiments, and hopeful imperfection. In a season of established luxury houses recalibrating heritage, this student runway felt like the pulse - less polished, more curious, full of visible process and potential. The show begins in the familiar fashion school format - backstage energy, raw fabrics, first stitches — but under a sharper le

HUl's SS26 offering feels like a continuation of its mission to interweave cultural heritage, craft, and visual poetics — but with a renewed softness, a forward movement, and an increasing confidence. The show does not shout; instead, it weaves. It asks: how do you honor roots while stepping into new forms? How does fashion carry memory without becoming weight? HUl has built much of its voice around cross-cultural dialogue — particularly between Chinese heritage (textiles, te

Francesca Liberatore returns for SS26 with a show titled Alétheia — a Greek notion of revealing truth. In a season thick with spectacle, she stages a runway that feels urgent, political, and poetic all at once. Models descend via emergency escape staircases, a symbolic entrance that frames the collection as both protest and pause. The stage is set: fashion must respond, not just adorn. Liberatore begins not with a flourish but with an invocation. Headpieces carry the words Im

For SS26, MSGM leans hard into movement, energy, and the grit of lived experience. Titled I Feel the Rush, the men's collection is inspired by bike life: not just as sport, but as metaphor and mood. It's about speed, sun, sweat, terrain — and how clothes move with us, catch memories, take on wear. The show is a visceral one, less about polished perfection and more about the beauty in motion and imperfection. MSGM abandons a traditional runway in favor of an immersive transfor

With her first complete runway outing at Bottega Veneta for Spring/Summer 2026, Louise Trotter stakes a claim: the house's heritage-craft, leatherwork, Veneto artisanal roots- is not a relic, but a living material. The collection is a dialogue between the established language of Bottega (intrecciato weave, supple leathers, structured tailoring) and an openness to softness, sensual wearability, and sculpted fantasy. Trotter's voice is respectful of what came before, yet gently

Laura Biagiotti returns for Spring/Summer 2026 with what feels like an affirmation: that elegance need not shout, but it can still be deeply felt. In this season, the house seems to lean into its proportions of femininity, texture, and knit craftsmanship, favoring soft transitions over extremes, structure over flash, and narrative over novelty. The mood suggests softness with a backbone. Think of feminine forms softened by drape and knit, but held together by tailoring-light

With SS26, Dolce & Gabbana revisit leisurewear with gravitas. Titled "Pyjama Boys," the collection turns traditional sleepwear into statements of daytime identity. It's a show about ease, about texture, about resisting the need always to be rigidly dressed — even in menswear. And in doing so, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana make comfort feel like a form of power. The show is staged on Viale Piave, featuring a white proscenium runway that contrasts sharply with flamboyant f

After a three-year hiatus from the runway, Stella Jean returns under the banner Where Women Move Mountains, reaffirming design as a vehicle for cross-cultural dialogue, artisan agency, and identity. This season feels less like a comeback and more like a mission renewed: bringing Bhutanese craft to Milan, weaving heritage into contemporary forms, and signaling that fashion has boundaries to redraw. This is the first time Bhutanese traditional crafts have entered the Italian fa

At its Spring/Summer 2026 showing, Luisa Spagnoli steps quietly but assuredly into the light, offering a collection that feels like soft reinvention. Gone are the overt declarations of trend; instead, the brand leans into its heritage of tailored femininity, subtle romanticism, and the interplay between structure and softness. The runway situates itself in Luisa Spagnoli's familiar territory: no dramatic stunts, no theatrical setpieces — just the clothes, the models, and the

Ferragamo under Maximilian Davis returns SS26 with an aesthetic that blurs the glamour of the 1920s with contemporary sensuality. Set in the courtyard of its own Portrait Hotel, the show was staged outdoors — the mood oscillates between speakeasy opulence and an autumn evening's shadow. It's a co-ed offering that leans into romance, reveal, and refinement. Davis draws heavily from 1920s flapper culture - fringe, silhouette, and spirit — but he doesn't simply echo the past. In

Ermanno Scervino's SS26 collection, dubbed The Chiffon Diaries by WWD, returns the brand to its poetic strengths: romance, transparency, and craftsmanship elevated by precision. In a season where maximalism dominates, Scervino opts for softer drama-fabrics that whisper, shapes that suggest more than they declare, details that reward closer viewing. The show opens with pieces that feel intimate-sheer panels, subtle lace overlays, gowns that catch light with translucence. Scerv

Ferrari's Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear show marks an interesting moment for a brand best known for its automotive legacy — here, it steps fully into sartorial expression. Under creative direction (by Rocco Lannone), the collection situates itself at the intersection of speed, lightness, and craft. This is not overt racing gear turned street; it's a more subtle negotiation of motion, identity, and luxury. The show opens with a quiet confidence: sleek lines, considered cuts

Under Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, The Attico's SS26 collection is a performance in light, shadow, and silhouette — a sophisticated recalibration of its glamorous roots. Rather than lean wholly into spectacle, this season feels more measured: seductive, confident, and refined. The line moves with purpose: between flash and finesse, between the street and the ballroom. The runway opens not in maximal fanfare but with intentional restraint. The first looks are polished -

From the first glance, SA SU PHI's SS 26 outing offered a quietly powerful vision of modernity-one that feels simultaneously pared-down and deeply considered. Set against the Milan backdrop, the collection felt less like a fleeting trend and more like a lived-in uniform for a new generation, calibrated for urban ease yet subtly rich in detail. The colour palette leaned into muted pastels and soft neutrals, punctuated by flashes of unexpected vibrancy: dabs of sun-washed coral

Sunnei's Spring/Summer 2026 show staged itself not as a conventional runway, but as an auction, with models and looks presented in crates and guests handed "fashion dollars" to bid. The conceit mirrored the collection's subtext: value, performativity, exit, and assertion. It became something more than clothes-it was theater, commentary, and retrospective at once. This show also carried weight beyond the garments, as it turned out to be the last for founders Simone Rizzo and L

Elisabetta Franchi begins Spring/Summer 2026 with a familiar intensity-an unapologetic celebration of femininity, sensuality, and empowerment. It feels like a continuation of the brand's ongoing dialogue between strength and seduction, but with subtle shifts: softer edges, lighter weight fabrics, maybe more breath in the silhouette. Franchi's collections always hinge on duality: bold vs intimate, structure vs flow, exposure vs coverage. The SS26 season seems likely to lean in

Stepping onto the Milan runway for SS26, Giuseppe Di Morabito presents Alone with the Stars. This collection feels like a map of vulnerability and strength, drawn in leather, crystal, and history. More than eveningwear, this season is a meditation: on protection, on introspection, and on how fashion can be both shield and signal. The show opens with Ameca, the humanoid robot, quoting from Sartor Resartus, Thomas Carlyle's 19th-century text on the philosophy of clothes and ide

Matteo Tamburini's Spring/Summer 2026 collection for Tod's, shown under the banner of Gommino Club at the verdant Villa Necchi Campiglio, is a portrait of refined ease. It doesn't shout; it relaxes into luxury. In a season pushed by spectacle, Tod's leans into outdoors, into summer idleness, into craftsmanship. What feels most lasting is how the collection marries visible heritage with quietly updated comfort. The presentation took place in an open-air lounge setting, titled
