Now that New York and London Fashion Weeks are over, the focus moves to Italy. Milan Fashion Week runs from February 24 to March 2, with a full schedule organized by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. Early signs suggest Fall 2026 could be one of the most important seasons yet.
Opening Statements: Diesel to Fendi
The week starts on Tuesday with Diesel setting the tone, a perfect opener for a brand that keeps blending street style with edgy rebellion.
Wednesday is expected to attract large crowds with Maria Grazia Chiuri’s highly anticipated debut as Fendi’s creative director. Industry insiders are keen to see how she reinvents the Roman house’s style for the Milan runway.
That day also features a strong lineup of well-known brands, including Jil Sander, Missoni, Etro, MM6 Maison Margiela, No. 21, Antonio Marras, and Vivetta, offering a blend of minimalism, classic prints, and bold tailoring.
Thursday Powerhouses
Thursday starts with Max Mara, famous for its sleek outerwear and strong yet subtle shapes. The day goes on with shows from Genny, BOSS, Emporio Armani, Marni, and Roberto Cavalli.
But everyone will be watching Prada, which is usually one of Milan’s most talked-about shows and a sign of where fashion is heading next.
A High-Voltage Friday
Day four brings Tod’s, Sportmax, Blumarine, Elisabetta Franchi, Moschino and GCDS.
But the headline-grabber may well be Demna’s first official runway show for Gucci, a debut that signals a fresh chapter for the Florentine powerhouse.
Weekend Momentum
Saturday opens with Ferrari, which has steadily built its presence within the fashion arena. The day continues with Ermanno Scervino, Ferragamo, Dolce & Gabbana, MSGM and Philipp Plein.
Another key moment will be the sophomore collection from Louise Trotter at Bottega Veneta, following her closely watched arrival at the house.
The Grand Finale
The week wraps up with Giorgio Armani, a lasting icon of Milanese fashion. The womenswear line is now led by Silvana Armani, marking a new generation for the brand.
After Milan ends on March 2, the fashion world moves on to Paris Fashion Week, which runs until March 10, keeping the Fall 2026 story going nonstop.
With major creative debuts, heritage houses defending their territory and emerging voices pushing forward, Milan Fashion Week Fall 2026 promises not just collections but defining moments.
