Milan, the fashion capital of Italy, has just wrapped up its Spring/Summer 2025 fashion week, leaving us breathless and eager for the next stop in Paris. This season, Milan presented a compelling case for feminine ease. Kim Jones at Fendi showcased sheer skirts and buttery-soft clutches, while Jil Sander wowed with its luxurious materiality. Gucci, on the other hand, delivered a collection focused on effortless wearability.
But it wasn’t just about the clothes; the industry was captivated by the stunning show presented by Prada. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the creative minds behind the brand, once again delivered a collection that pushed sartorial boundaries, exploring the future of fashion while drawing inspiration from Prada’s rich archives.
The magic of Milan Fashion Week extends beyond the runways. Luxury houses are increasingly focusing on their audiences, giving exclusive previews to select guests in their respective venues. While these events usually feature a blend of industry professionals and VIPs, it’s the celebrity clientele that often steals the spotlight.
This season, Gucci and Prada took center stage when it came to star power. Gucci welcomed its newly-minted ambassador, BTS’s Jin, making his fashion week debut. He joined familiar faces in the front row, including Daisy Edgar-Jones, Julia Garner, and Hanni of New Jeans. Meanwhile, Prada brought back the K-pop group Enhypen, who were joined by a star-studded lineup including Letitia Wright, Simone Ashley, Karina of Aespa, Li Xian, Ella Purnell, and Jaehyun of NCT.
Madonna’s presence at Dolce&Gabbana was another major highlight, while Bottega Veneta attracted a mix of rising stars, including Jacob Elordi, Olympian Imane Khelif, and I.N from Stray Kids.
From K-pop sensations to Hollywood actors, Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 was a dazzling spectacle of fashion, celebrity, and the future of style. As the fashion world prepares for the next stop in Paris, we can’t help but wonder what surprises await us.
