Milan Fashion Week came to a close today, wrapping up another compelling season marked by creative shifts and masterful Italian craftsmanship. Across the city, luxury houses drew on their signature house codes, balancing them with fresh, modern energy, moving seamlessly between expressive colours, minimalist and dramatic silhouettes, and soft, relaxed Italian tailoring. 

Here are the standout runways from the week so far. 

Bottega Veneta

For Bottega Veneta’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Creative Director Louise Trotter refined the house’s craft languages into something lighter and more tactile. Presented in a minimal white setting with resin-coated cardboard stools by artist Illya Goldman Gubin, the collection began with restrained neutrals, bringing rich texture and colour later on.

Trotter’s interpretation of the house’s signature Intrecciato weave alongside airy Venetian lace, crochet, and fringe detailing brought movement to the silhouettes, while clean-cut trousers, lace-up shoes, and soft, structural coats grounded the collection, ensuring everyday wearability. 

Dolce & Gabbana

Titled “Stravaganza Siciliana”, Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection is a celebration of its Sicilian heritage. The collection did not shy away from excess, with tweed trimmed with leopard print, checkered tablecloth patterns cut into bloomers and bra tops, crochet doilies turned into dresses and skirts, and lace slips finished with beads and fringes.

Familiar house signatures like the animal prints, black lingerie dressing, and embellished denims remained intact, with the styling introducing a young, diverse energy. Throughout the collection, jewellery took centre stage, bags anchored each look, and footwear, from stilettos to boots, brought a contemporary edge.

Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani’s SS27 collection was titled “Evolution” and marked Creative Director Silvana Armani’s sophomore collection for the house. Preserving the house’s familiar codes of precision tailoring, understated evening gowns, and restrained palette, the collection was elevated and heightened with its use of light-catching crystals and sequins.

Blazers and jackets carried the 80s power shoulders, while the knee-length trousers and graphic patterns brought a geometric edge to the looks. Small pouches, clutches, loafers, high-heeled sandals and flat neoprene boots completed the progression from day into evening. The collection is a mindful recalibration of the Armani codes, blending fluidity and evening sparkle seamlessly. 

Ferragamo

For Ferragamo’s SS27 collection, Maximilian Davis shifts his gaze to the 1940s, reworking the era’s liberating wardrobe through a distinct Ferragamo language. Throughout the collection, high-waisted tailoring was cinched with statement belts and featured military pockets and utilitarian vests.

Davis infused his signature fluidity into the sharp silhouettes through looped silk, leather trains, and draped sequin gowns, bringing movement and sensuality, while translucent rubber, leather shirting, and glossy python introduced a subtly fetishistic edge. Accessories and footwear extended the dialogue between heritage and innovation, from sculptural F-wedge heels and a reimagined Vara bow to updated Cara and Hug bags. 

Tod’s

For Tod’s SS27 collection, titled Italian Attitude, creative director Matteo Tamburini celebrated an instinctive Italian appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship and life’s simple pleasures. The collection placed leather and artisanal expertise at its centre, from exceptionally soft Pashmy hides to perforated leather, nappa and Windsilk trench coats.

Natural and burnt tones were contrasted by saffron yellow, red and horizon blue, with the iconic Gommino loafer motif seen across outerwear, footwear and bags. New interpretations included the elongated Bilbao loafer, a lightweight sneaker ballerina and a selleria style finished with metal dots. Accessories brought further modernity through the returning Candy Bag, evolving Di Bag and personalised My Signature pieces. 

Gucci

Presenting his first complete personal vision for Gucci, Demna’s SS27 collection for the house, “The Store Show”, moved between men’s and women’s collections, exploring the contradictions that have long defined the house. The opening looks paired skin-tight jodhpur trousers, upturned collar shirts, and riding boots, carrying a country-club mood, transitioning into razor-sharp tailoring with dramatic collars, pencil skirts, and capris introducing controlled silhouettes.

Rugby shirts, pleated tartan skirts and puffed bombers brought a deliberately offbeat, youthful energy, cinched with triple-horsebit belts and layered accessories, closing with fluid, draped gowns bringing a darker, sensual mood.
