The Biggest Shows from Milan Fashion Week

Dsquared2 kicked off Milan Fashion Week with a bang celebrating its 30th anniversary. The Fall 2025 runway show had everything: a nightclub-inspired venue, Doechii coming out of an armored tank stuffed with dollar bills; collaborations with Magliano, Vaquera, Bettter, Ducati and Kiss; a star-studded lineup including Naomi Campbell, Amelia Gray, Alex Consani, NLE Choppa and more; and Brigitte Nielsen "arresting" founders Dean and Dan Caten before Doechii and JT performed to kick off the afterparty.

The Fendi Fall 2025 collection celebrated its centennial by fusing past and future for the Fall 2025 collection. Honoring five generations, Silvia Venturini Fendi reflected on the brand's evolution since its founding in 1925 by Edoardo and Adele Fendi, drawing from personal memories to reinterpret what Fendi represents today with Italian sophistication.

"Fendi reminds me of the future," she said in a press release. "I didn't want to spend too much time dwelling on the physical archives. For me, Fendi 100 is more about my personal memories — real or imagined — of what Fendi was and what Fendi means today."

Each generation of designers and creative directors have left their mark on Gucci, adapting to the times and shaping the brand’s identity while staying true to its roots, moving from past to present and into the future — and constantly redefining what luxury means.

The Fall 2025 collection is a reflection of that evolving spirit, bringing together Gucci’s signature elements in a way that feels both familiar and fresh. At its core is effortless Italian cool — what the brand cites as "sprezzatura," or "the perfectly imperfect, a studied effortlessness." That attitude runs through the collection, reinforcing Gucci’s cinematic, larger-than-life world, that's rich, expressive and a little unexpected.

Marni's Fall 2025 Vol. 2 collection, "The Pink Sun," was the product of a coincidental night over drinks between creative director Francesco Risso and artists Olaolu Slawn and Soldier Boyfriend. Taking part in a month-long residency, the three shared a studio to make the collection come to life, mixing historical influences with underground culture, with Slawn's artwork as prints on Marni's silhouettes.

For Fall 2025, Moschino's creative director Adrian Appiolaza took inspiration from the "work hard play hard" mantra, as well as the tailoring of Franco Moschino. Underneath it all was a nod to Moschino's iconic “mannequin” dress from 1992. And of course, a sense of play was woven throughout: dresses in mid-construction, deconstructed tailoring, sweaters wrapped together, denim and leather workwear in exaggerated shapes, gowns made from paper or trash bags and the appearance of the brand's smiley face in new ways.

This season, Versace's message had a timeless message: "Be yourself. Believe in yourself. Break the rules." For the brand's Fall 2025 men's and women's collections, Donatella Versace looked to the past in order to step into the future. Pieces were inspired by the interiors of Gianni Versace's homes, which resulted in a mix of neoclassical prints in contemporary silhouettes. The women's collection was punk-ish, while the men's was tailored and statuesque
