From Prada and Gucci to Fendi, Marni, Bottega Veneta and Giorgio Armani, the Milan Fashion Week 2026 schedule brings together some of the biggest names in Italian and international fashion.
Following London Fashion Week, the fashion world now turns its attention to Milan, where the Spring/Summer 2027 collections will be presented through a combination of runway shows, presentations, events and special projects.
This season brings a particularly interesting moment for Milan Fashion Week. Several of fashion’s newest creative directors will present their second collections for major houses, while Prada takes an earlier position on the schedule and a number of established Italian brands return to the spotlight.
Here is everything to know about Milan Fashion Week S/S 2027, including the key designers, brands, shows and moments to watch.
When is Milan Fashion Week S/S 2027?
Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 runs from 22 to 28 September 2026.
The week follows London Fashion Week and precedes Paris Fashion Week, making Milan the latest stop in the international Spring/Summer 2027 fashion calendar.
The schedule includes 54 physical runway shows and 88 presentations, according to the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, making Milan Fashion Week one of the most extensive events of the season.
Prada opens Milan Fashion Week
One of the biggest changes to the Milan Fashion Week S/S 2027 schedule sees Prada move into the opening position.
The house, which traditionally presents later in the Milan schedule, will show its Spring/Summer 2027 collection on the afternoon of 22 September.
The move places Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons at the centre of Milan Fashion Week from its opening hours, creating an immediate focus on one of the most influential creative partnerships in contemporary fashion.
Prada’s presence in Milan extends beyond the runway this season, with the opening of Prada Galleria at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
The new multi-level space expands the Prada presence within one of Milan’s most iconic architectural landmarks, combining retail, hospitality and cultural experiences. It also connects the house’s contemporary identity with its history in the city, where Prada’s first store opened in 1913.
A permanent exhibition, Pradasphere, will explore the evolution of the house from its origins to the present day.
Emporio Armani enters a new era
Another major talking point of Milan Fashion Week 2026 is the transition taking place at Emporio Armani.
Dario Vitale has been appointed creative director of Emporio Armani, following his previous work at Versace and earlier experience within the Prada Group, including Miu Miu.
However, his first collection for the house will come later.
For Spring/Summer 2027, Emporio Armani will present its men’s and women’s collections through a presentation rather than its traditional runway format. Silvana Armani and Leo Dell’Orco will remain responsible for the collections this season.
The presentation is scheduled for 24 September, giving fashion audiences a moment to consider what Vitale’s arrival could mean for the future direction of Emporio Armani.
Milan Fashion Week’s second-act designers
If the previous Milan Fashion Week season was defined by major creative-director debuts, Spring/Summer 2027 is the season of the second collection.
Among the designers returning for their sophomore shows are Demna at Gucci, Maria Grazia Chiuri at Fendi and Meryll Rogge at Marni.
The second collection can be one of the most revealing moments in a designer’s tenure. The debut establishes a new creative language; the follow-up begins to show whether that language can evolve into a longer-term vision.
At Gucci, expectations will be particularly high following Demna’s first runway presentation for the house.
At Fendi, Maria Grazia Chiuri will continue developing her interpretation of the Roman fashion house, while Meryll Rogge will build on her debut at Marni.
Together, these collections make Milan Fashion Week S/S 2027 an important season for understanding where several major fashion houses are heading next.
The return of Milan’s biggest fashion houses
Alongside the new creative chapters, Milan Fashion Week S/S 2027 will feature many of the Italian fashion houses that have helped define the city’s position on the global fashion map.
The schedule includes:
- Prada
- Gucci
- Fendi
- Marni
- Bottega Veneta
- Dolce & Gabbana
- Giorgio Armani
- Ferragamo
- Max Mara
- Tod’s
- Jil Sander
The wider schedule also includes presentations from brands including Brunello Cucinelli, Brioni, Herno and Valextra.
This combination of established Italian houses, emerging creative perspectives and international collaborations gives Milan Fashion Week its distinctive character.
What to expect from Milan Fashion Week S/S 2027
Beyond the individual shows, Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 is likely to be defined by a broader question: what does the next generation of Italian fashion look like?
With established houses refining new creative directions and designers such as Demna, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Meryll Rogge entering their second seasons, the September 2026 edition offers a clearer picture of how these appointments are reshaping some of fashion’s most recognisable names.
There is also a growing crossover between fashion, architecture, interiors, cinema and art, reflected in projects such as Guadagnino and Baisi’s Zara Home collaboration and Prada’s expansion of its cultural presence in Milan.
For anyone following the Milan Fashion Week 2026 schedule, the week promises a mix of established Italian craftsmanship, new creative leadership and increasingly blurred boundaries between fashion and the wider creative world.
