Milan Fashion Week commenced with an exclusive skirts-only show from Prada, followed by a poignant farewell to Diesel and a spectacle of Italian extravagance at Vogue World. Prada introduced their spring/summer 2027 collection, featuring only skirts, presented in a diverse range of styles and materials. The models walked on a Perspex floor in a stark, illuminated setting, showcasing skirts from practical choices to flamboyant designs.
Miuccia Prada's signature obsession with the skirt's functionality and its potential to convey ideas was evident in the styling. Elsewhere, Glenn Martens concluded his tenure at Diesel with his final collection. He enlisted the help of dancers from the French collective (La)Horde to energize the audience during the presentation.
The show was a mix of classic Diesel elements, such as reworked denim and trompe-l'oeil effects, alongside more avant-garde pieces like oversized jackets and leather. The collection was presented as an immersive club experience, with Martens still serving as the creative director of Maison Margiela. Italian fashion took center stage at Vogue World Milano, held in Italy's oldest and most prestigious shopping arcade, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
The five-act spectacle gathered leading Italian fashion houses, including Armani Privé, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Ferragamo, Gucci, Prada, and Valentino. The event celebrated fashion, craftsmanship, and culture, with notable attendees such as Jennifer Lopez, Dakota Johnson, MGK, and model Alton Mason.
