Following the passing of Giorgio Armani, his final Emporio and Giorgio Armani SS26 collections served as a moving farewell to a fashion legend. From sun-kissed travelwear to regal evening gowns, both shows honoured his legacy with elegance, emotion, and impeccable style.

Louise Trotter made her highly anticipated debut at Bottega Veneta with the SS26 collection, becoming the first woman to lead the house. Live from Milan, the show was a masterclass in sculptural minimalism, playful textures, and refined elegance - from liquid-like powder-blue coats and hypnotic fringe to top-to-toe intrecciato and bold red finales.

Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci stole the spotlight in character at Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan show, filming scenes for The Devil Wears Prada 2 — right beside Anna Wintour, no less. But the real drama was on the runway. Titled “PJ Obsession,” the SS26 collection delivered 66 looks of unapologetic striped glamour, luxurious loungewear, and seductive Sicilian tailoring. It was theatrical, maximalist, and undeniably Dolce. Who knew pyjamas could look this powerful?

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.

Dario Vitale’s Versace debut was a fashion reboot.

Here’s my take on the standout moments, favourite looks, and textures that defined each collection.

Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 is in full swing, and day three delivered standout shows from Max Mara, Hugo Boss, Emporio Armani, Francesco Murano, and Roberto Cavalli. From crisp tailoring and tonal layering to full gold glamour, each collection showcased fresh takes on luxury and femininity. This post breaks down every runway moment worth knowing - including key looks, styling notes, and my personal favourites.

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.
