Milan Fashion Week inaugurates the European circuit of runway spectacles. Set to unfurl from Tuesday, February 20th, through Sunday, the 25th, the forthcoming showcase of Fall-Winter 2024/25 collections promises a myriad of eagerly awaited events happening in the esteemed Italian fashion hub.
At Etro, Marco De Vincenzo is set to unveil a co-ed Fall-Winter collection on Wednesday the 21st, a first for the designer ever since he took on the direction of the brand. Meanwhile, Tom Ford will showcase Peter Hawkings’ second delivery, an anticipated unveiling scheduled for Thursday the 22nd.
Moschino is set for a transformative moment as Argentinian-born designer Adrian Appiolaza steps into the spotlight with his inaugural collection to be shown on Thursday the 22nd, marking his ascension to the helm of the house following his appointment in January. The Italian fashion house has weathered a whirlwind of change in recent months, with the departure of Jeremy Scott, who steered the creative ship for a decade, and the untimely passing of Italian designer Davide Renne, who died suddenly in November, a mere 10 days into his role.
Tod’s is also on the brink of a creative revamp guided by the artistic vision of Matteo Tamburini, who will show his debut collection on Friday the 23rd. Previously at Bottega Veneta since 2017, Tamburini received the creative baton from Walter Caponi, who departed the brand in July 2023 to take the helm at Blumarine. Caponi is set to debut his premier collection for the label on the same day, Friday the 23rd.
Marni and Francesco Risso make a homecoming to Milan for their show on Friday the 23rd, concluding a global tour of presentations that showcased the brand in various locations, spanning from Paris and Tokyo to New York.
Following his debut collection in September, which marked the abrupt departure of Rhuigi Villasenor, Simone Belloti is set to unveil his second collection for Bally on Saturday, the 24th.
Closing up the calendar of Milan debuts is London-based designer Feben, who will present her first collection outside the UK with the support of Dolce & Gabbana on Saturday the 24th.
