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. In this blog post, I unpack the chaos, colour, and craftsmanship of his intimate SS26 presentation, from the marble-drenched venue to the beaded bras and clown trousers. With 75 layered, 80s-inspired looks, Vitale’s first collection asks: what is the spirit of Versace in 2025? I review my favourite looks, call out the missteps, and explore whether this bold new direction delivers the comeback the house has been craving.

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.

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.

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.

Day 3 of Milan Fashion Week was a full spectrum of vibes - from Jil Sander’s muted minimalism to Missoni’s sparkly beach club glam, and KNWLS’ edgy, Nike-laced debut. It was a rollercoaster of safe bets, standout tailoring, and full-throttle fashion energy. I feel confused, impressed, and slightly obsessed, the perfect mix.

Diesel kicked off MFW SS26 with a city-wide egg hunt and 55 full runway looks sealed in transparent capsules. Forget the catwalk - this show took over the streets of Milan, blending fashion, fun, and full-blown chaos in true Diesel style.

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 in the regal Mansion House, Simone Rocha’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection was a dreamy, cinematic delight. From pillows to mountains of tulle, sequins, and glimmering silver, Rocha delivered a collection full of emotion, vulnerability, and her signature romantic femininity. Transparent PVC trenches, frilly pearl-embellished pieces, and even ballerina platform Crocs proved Rocha can make anything runway-worthy.

Day two of London Fashion Week delivered an electric mix of emerging talent and legacy names, with standout collections from Patrick McDowell, Toga, Ahluwalia, Roksanda, and a jaw-dropping 56-look finale by Richard Quinn. Plus, a personal highlight - I was officially confirmed to walk a runway tomorrow, and the excitement is very real.
