As the Autumn/Winter season of Milan Fashion Week closes, we bring you highlights from the weekend’s top shows.
Bottega Veneta
For her autumn/winter collection for Bottega Veneta, Louise Trotter delivered a confident fusion of sensuality and brutalism, drawing on Milan’s architecture and the assured elegance of its women. Oversized coats, lowered waists, and elongated sleeves create striking proportions, while sharp darts and seams subtly echo the city’s modern skyline.
Fabrics that resemble leather and fur are revealed as technical fibres and pure silks, adding depth and innovation to the co-ed show. A strong, architectural statement for the house.
Giorgio Armani
Giorgio Armani closed Milan Fashion Week with quiet authority inside the house’s historic palazzo on Via Borgonuovo. Designed by Silvana Armani, the collection balances signature elegance with refined practicality. Spruce tailoring sets the tone, with long-waisted blazers and fluid, ankle-length coats leading a modern, unadorned silhouette.
A nuanced shift in colour brings freshness, while standout pieces include a dramatic drop-shoulder slate-grey leather trench, a pearly shearling wrap coat, and a striking sapphire-blue pony-skin jerkin. Throughout, the focus remains on exceptional fabric quality and a dedication to elegance.
Loro Piana
Loro Piana unveiled its Fall/Winter 2026–2027 collection, Nomadic Reverie, at the Cortile della Seta in Milan. Inspired by the poetry of travel, Paisley becomes the defining motif, woven through prints, shawls and accessories in rich, evolving tones. Luxurious fabrics take centre stage, and the palette moves from ochre and terracotta to deep greens, midnight blue and touches of black and gold. Silhouettes are elongated and layered, with fluid coats, dusters, knitwear and romantic evening pieces softened by subtle contrasts in texture. A collection shaped by movement, memory and material mastery.
Dolce&Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana presented its Autumn/Winter 2026–27 Women’s Collection under the powerful theme of IDENTITY, asserting that identity itself is the ultimate luxury. Rather than revisiting the past, the collection stands firmly in the present, celebrating the confidence of living fully in the now.
Rooted in the House’s enduring codes, the collection draws on the emotional intensity of Sicily, the strength of black, the intimacy of lace and the authority of precise tailoring. These signatures are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, shaping a vision of womanhood that feels both instinctive and assured.
Femininity and masculinity exist in dialogue; one silhouette honours the body, celebrating rather than concealing it. Sensuality, devotion, glamour and craftsmanship converge in looks that are unmistakably Dolce & Gabbana. A collection that reaffirms how true luxury lies in authenticity and unwavering faithfulness to one’s own aesthetic.
Ferragamo
Ferragamo’s Creative Director, Maximilian Davis, delivered a confident and sharply defined vision for the house. Precision tailoring set the tone, with clean lines and elongated silhouettes asserting a quiet authority. A rich palette of deep purples, midnight blues and ash greys grounded the collection, while sculptural gold accents introduced moments of bold contrast and modern opulence.
Elevated yet powerful, the collection reaffirmed Ferragamo’s evolving identity under Davis, balancing heritage craftsmanship with a contemporary edge.
