Milan Fashion Week to be held virtually

  

This season, with the pandemic exacerbated by the spread of new COVID-19 variants, the Milan women's fashion week will once again be held in virtual mode.

The event is scheduled from February 23 until March 1. The first of the 64 catwalk shows will be held on February 24. The rest of the program includes 65 presentations and seven special events, among them a gala evening organized by the Italian Fashion Chamber (CNMI) for the fashion week’s opening.

Only two of the catwalk shows will actually be staged physically. The first is scheduled y Daniel Del Core, the former stylist to Gucci's celebrity clients, launching his own Del Core label. The second show will close the fashion week March 1, alongside Dolce & Gabbana, and will be staged by Valentino behind closed doors at the Piccolo Teatro, a unique opportunity for the renowned Milanese theatre to re-open its doors after twelve months of lockdown.

Besides these two shows, another highlight will be the eagerly awaited presentation of the first women's ready-to-wear collection by Kim Jones for Fendi.

The other new entries on the Milanese calendar, besides Del Core and Alessandro dell’Acqua x Elena Mirò, are Brunello Cucinelli; the ‘We are Made in Italy’ show by the Black Lives Matter in Italian Fashion collective; Onitsuka Tiger, the fashion sibling of Japanese sport brand Asics; Fabio Quaranta, a Milan catwalk show regular; and Maxivive, the androgynous label founded in 2007 by Papa Oyeyemi, a designer based in Lagos, Nigeria, renowned for his experimental approach.
