From Gucci’s thrilling collection where heritage reigned supreme to Fendi’s masterclass in balancing the past, present, and future, here we round up our favourite shows and looks straight from the runways of Milan Fashion Week Fall 2025.

Ciao, Milano! Gucci kicked off Milan Fashion Week with a collection that was nothing short of a triumph. In a transitional moment for the house, the in-house design team stepped up and delivered a collection that honoured Gucci’s iconic heritage while injecting a fresh, modern perspective. Interplaying between masculine and feminine aesthetics the collection was a beautiful synergy of past, present, and future with pops of green and purple dominating alongside the iconic Horsebit motif appearing in fresh iterations across the collection, as well as textures of tweed, mohair, and wools.

The show was a testament to Gucci’s enduring creative spirit that certainly left us wanting more. It’s a collection that whispers “Gucci” from every seam, every accessory, every carefully chosen shade of green. Bellissima!

Reflecting the duality of human nature, Luke and Lucie Meier presented a collection that followed in the footsteps of more recent collections, taking a darker turn than when the Meiers first joined the brand in 2017, which had a much more feminine, light, and sensual focus. The collection explored couture-like craftsmanship that invited a sensory experience with exaggerated fringing, dip-dyed floral print pieces, and miniature bows.

Precision-creased silk blouses were paired with armour-style breastplates of silver sequins, a mini-trend we’ve seen emerging this season. Altogether their Fall collection was one of both desire and defense, turning light into dark and vice versa, reflecting the human ability to embrace both.

Fendi’s Fall 2025 presentation was more than a show; it was a grand celebration, marking 100 years of the iconic Roman fashion house. With Silvia Venturini Fendi at the helm, the collection served as a loving tribute to the brand’s rich history, while also casting a keen eye toward the future.

The show opened with a charming nod to Fendi’s origins, as young members of the Fendi family ushered in a parade of models showcasing looks that drew inspiration from the house’s archives. There was a palpable sense of nostalgia, with elements of old-school Roman style woven throughout the collection. Embellished tweed, flapper-era influences, and supple chevron leather were prominent, evoking a sense of timeless elegance.

Fendi’s Fall 2025 show was a masterclass in balancing heritage with innovation. It was a celebration of the brand’s past, present, and future, reaffirming its status as a fashion powerhouse.

Under the visionary guidance of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, Prada presented a collection that was less a simple display of garments and more an intricate exploration of modern femininity. It was a study in contrasts, a dance between the polished and the undone, the classic and the subversively modern.

The show opened with a powerful statement: a series of black dresses that defied conventional notions of “figure-flattering.” These were not mere little black dresses; they were architectural statements, playing with proportions and hinting at a deeper, more complex understanding of what it means to dress as a woman today.

With the rest of the collection masterfully juxtaposed textures, silhouettes and colour palettes. Accessories were not mere afterthoughts either; they were integral to the narrative with jewellery integrated into the clothing itself, with bejewelled knit collars and chains suspending Art Deco motifs.

Prada’s Fall 2025 show was a masterclass in how to challenge conventions while remaining true to the brand’s core identity. It was a collection that invited contemplation, that celebrated the complexities of womanhood, and that, as always, left us eagerly anticipating what Prada will do next.

A collection that echoed the power of literature’s most enduring heroines, drawing heavily from the works of the Brontë sisters, specifically “Jane Eyre” and “Wuthering Heights”, that spoke of both resilience and undeniable elegance.

With a focus on rich textures like mohair, plush fabrics, ribbed knitwear, and velvet, the collection provided a tactile experience. Silhouettes were defined by cinched waists, flowing skirts, and wide-legged trousers, brought to life with a colour palette of earthy tones, creating a sense of cozy sophistication.

Max Mara’s Fall 2025 collection was a tribute to enduring strength and timeless elegance. It was a collection that provided a sense of comfort and protection in an uncertain world, while never sacrificing the brand’s commitment to refined style.

Donatella Versace didn’t just present a collection; she unleashed a captivating fusion of classic Italian glamour and a surprising dash of cowboy cool. Milan’s twilight barely settled before the runway lit up with a spectacle that felt both familiar and refreshingly new.

The show opened with a bold statement: puffy pieces emblazoned with Versace’s iconic prints, immediately setting a tone of confident exuberance. Sleek ensembles followed, showcasing plunging necklines, and buttery leather.

But the collection wasn’t confined to urban chic. A Western influence galloped in, with denim and patchwork detailing, shimmering accents, and cowboy-inspired boots and shirts. The models, with their dark lips and slick-straight hair, amplified the drama, strutting in everything from leg-baring mini dresses to floor-sweeping gowns.
