Ferrari, Ferragamo, and Stella Jean kicked off September 27th in Milan with three shows that couldn’t have been more different - from sleek tailoring to fringe fantasies to beaded fish halters. These weren’t even the day’s main events, but they absolutely stole the spotlight before the heavyweights even hit the runway.

From Marco Rambaldi’s crochet masterpieces to Blumarine’s butterfly-filled femininity and Tod’s leather-forward approach, Milan Fashion Week SS26 offered a diverse mix of craftsmanship, drama, and quiet luxury. Here’s my take on the standout moments, favourite looks, and textures that defined each collection.

Moschino’s SS26 collection was a masterclass in fashion absurdity—bold, theatrical, and brilliantly bizarre in all the right ways. From wearable potato sacks to gravity-defying hats and recycled patchwork gowns, this was fashion with a punchline and a purpose.

Set against a factory-style backdrop, Prada SS26 delivered a masterclass in modern femininity, blending utility silhouettes with ruffled lace skirts, bold colours, and silk gloves in every shade imaginable. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons struck the perfect balance between wearable and whimsical - cohesive, clever, and unmistakably Prada.

Silvia Venturini Fendi’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection delivered a visual feast of texture, colour, and craftsmanship - from cherry tomato red tailoring to woven fur coats and laser-cut florals. With 84 bold looks, the runway was a masterclass in modern Italian elegance, proving that fashion doesn’t need a single definition, just feeling.

Milan Fashion Week is here, and the S/S26 season promises over 55 physical shows and 4 digital presentations packed with trend-setting designs, celebrity appearances, and groundbreaking collections. From heritage houses like Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Giorgio Armani to exciting debuts and emerging designers, I’ve organised all the can’t-miss shows into three easy-to-prioritise categories so you won’t miss a moment of the action.

Daniel Lee’s 57-look Spring/Summer 2026 collection for Burberry just dropped in London, and it’s a colourful, textural, trench-coated dream. With crochet, plaid, hot pinks, and sky-themed staging, Burberry reminded us that British fashion can be classic and playful - especially when scarves are involved.

London Fashion Week SS26 flew by in a chaotic blur of castings, salads, 4am writing sessions — and my very first runway walk (!). From surprise Gucci drops to jaw-dropping emerging talent, this final day delivered drama, beauty, and bold vision to close out the week.

Set against the iconic British Museum, Erdem’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection was pure cinematic magic. From jaw-dropping lace mini dresses to airy chiffon springtime gowns, Moralıoğlu delivered 43 looks brimming with romance, intricate detailing, and playful innovation. Romantic, brainy, and electrified - Erdem proved once again why he’s one of London Fashion Week’s most compelling voices.

Day three of LFW was an emotional rollercoaster — I walked my first show, closed it, and then dove straight into reporting on standout collections from Talia Byre, Ashley Williams, Tove, Emilia Wickstead, Marques’Almeida, and Dilara Findikoglu. From cherry-stained corsets and chaotic cosplay vibes to romantic tailoring and punky hardware, today proved why London is still one of the most thrilling fashion weeks in the world.
