From September 23- 29, 2025, Milan Fashion Week will showcase Spring 2026 collections to an audience of celebrities, buyers, and press. This season is particularly notable for several major debuts, with new creative directors unveiling their first collections for iconic Italian houses.
The week kicks off with Glenn Martens' show for Diesel, followed by a highly anticipated moment for Gucci on September 23. Demna, the former creative director of Balenciaga, will present his first collection for the house. It's expected to be a clean, back-to-basics collection that honors Gucci's heritage. Demna's full vision for the brand is slated to be unveiled at Gucci's March show.
On September 24, Simone Bellotti will make his debut for Jil Sander. Based on his pre-show teasers, which included a music video and EP, the designer is expected to present a collection with a musical theme.
The week will also feature Prada in its usual slot on September 25. The day after, on September 26, Dario Vitale will present his first collection for Versace, a show that is planned to be a more intimate event.
The end of the week will see more significant moments. On September 28, Bottega Veneta will begin a new chapter as Louise Trotter, previously of Carven, makes her debut for the brand.
Later that evening, Armani will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a special runway show at the Palazzo Brera in Milan's design district. This major milestone will be preceded by two Emporio Armani shows on September 25.
