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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Harris Reed’s Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection opened London Fashion Week with a theatrical yet intimate showcase of gender-fluid fashion and architectural silhouettes. From sculptural corsetry to couture-level storytelling, Reed continues to redefine what Ready-to-Wear can mean on the runway.
