Milan Fashion Week Highlights
Spring Summer 2027
Milan opens our European fashion journey for Spring–Summer 2027, with a Fashion Week whose richness lies in its variety. From the exceptional cashmere of Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli to Giorgio Armani’s tailoring, Roberto Cavalli’s prints, Prada’s minimalism, Ferragamo’s craftsmanship and Alberta Ferretti’s romanticism, alongside the distinctive worlds of Fendi and Gucci, Milan offers many ways of imagining how we dress. Beyond the runway, presentations, showrooms and trade fairs introduce independent designers and new creative voices.
The whole city takes on a new rhythm, its streets buzzing with excitement and conversations in different languages. Designers, buyers, editors and guests from around the world bring the excitement of discovery and the intense emotions of fashion into Milan’s everyday life.
Our first stop is Chiostro Cappuccio, where Claudio Ligato introduces LACCA. Following a career that includes Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier, Maison Margiela, twenty years at Roberto Cavalli and a role as Head Fashion Designer at Elie Saab, Ligato brings his experience to a project of his own.
His Calabrian roots, Constantin Brâncuși’s essential forms and Gianfranco Ferré’s architectural elegance inform Collection 0. In a palette of cream, white and black, sculptural volumes meet embroidery and macramé designed by Ligato himself. Masculine accents lend definition to romantic silhouettes, while removable sleeves and interchangeable collars allow garments to take on different expressions.
Inspired by Brâncuși’s Sleeping Muse, the egg becomes a symbol of birth and possibility. What struck us most was the collection’s freshness, combining casual ease, couture-inspired details and a chic, minimal sensibility.
Although this was LACCA’s first presentation, it felt as though everyone was there. The gathering became an international salon celebrating the debut and the beginning of Fashion Week, bringing together influencers Tamara Kalinic and Leonie Hanne and supermodel Irina Shayk. We wish Claudio Ligato and LACCA every success in this new chapter.
Our second appointment takes us into a different mood with Brunello Cucinelli. Entitled The Nature of Savoir-Faire, the collection explores the harmony between exceptional craftsmanship and everyday ease. Organza lightens outerwear, while hand-worked crochet and weaves inspired by Viennese canework give familiar pieces a new dimension.
Alongside the exquisite yarns and refined everyday looks, the special pieces also caught our attention: openwork bombers with sheer effects, skirts with modern volumes, metallic crochet knitwear paired with relaxed trousers, and a floor-length metallic crochet dress with an open back and crossed straps. Even the most intricate designs retained Cucinelli’s characteristic lightness, bringing effortless elegance to special occasions.
Music and dining accompanied our exploration of the showroom in a warm, familial atmosphere. It felt like a gathering in a grand salon, where fashion and hospitality came naturally together.
Our next appointment takes us into the world of The Queen of the Desert, where animal, botanical and mineral elements meet in a dreamlike landscape.
Tuareg cobalt blue fades into softer shades, alongside sandy neutrals, sunset reds and paprika. The depth and subtle nuances of Suzanne Belperron’s hardstone jewellery inspire the spectrum of blues.
Scarf-inspired panels edged with delicate fringing create an asymmetric silhouette, while prints combine sandy hues with darker animal and botanical motifs. A deep neckline and rope belt define a softly pleated dress, its skirt opening into movement. In a terracotta tulle gown, knotted draping shapes the waist, while a slender cord outlines the neckline. Transparency balances softness with definition.
This is Sara Cavazza Facchini’s vision for Genny Spring–Summer 2027: a woman both strong and delicate, expressing herself through colour, texture and movement.
Los Angeles sets the scene for Roberto Cavalli’s House of Prints — The Muses in Los Angeles. Print is where Roberto Cavalli’s story began, and Fausto Puglisi pays tribute to that heritage by giving the maison’s mastery pride of place. Floral and animal patterns, both essential to its DNA, come together within a single design. The skill lies in making these bold contrasts work in harmony, with each motif enhancing the others.
The shapes remain classic Cavalli: a slip dress, a long kimono to wear over different outfits, and a long dress with a deep neckline and high leg cuts. Leopard meets pink and burgundy florals, while orange and golden yellow reflect the Los Angeles inspiration.
A printed kimono over a leopard-print cropped top and decorated jeans carries the same idea into styling, confidently combining patterns and textures.
The journey continues at sea with Ermanno Scervino, whose collection imagines a corsair voyage infused with cinematic references and rock energy. Sailcloth, rigging and sun-weathered surfaces inspire colours and textures.
An oversized pale blue tuxedo shirt, open over a lace-up corset and paired with a sculptural red miniskirt, introduces bold volumes and masculine references. A crisp white shirt accompanies a sheer black skirt embroidered with palms, translating the tropical landscape into a graphic silhouette.
A blush-pink bra top and fitted midi skirt combine a glossy crocodile-effect surface with floral lace and a scalloped hem. Here, the collection returns to a more familiar romanticism: even on this corsair adventure, Scervino’s signature lace and delicate pink find their place.
At Ferragamo, Maximilian Davis explores women’s growing independence in the 1940s and the wardrobe that accompanied their changing roles. High-waisted tailoring, utility pockets and references to uniforms bring a practical attitude to the collection, softened by fluid fabrics, transparency and draping.
Belts are central to this dialogue, emphasising the waist and connecting military influences with lighter silhouettes. A red draped silk dress with cut-out details captures this balance, its softness defined by a glossy black belt. The same idea takes a different form through double belts worn with a textured washed-blue jacket and sheer skirt.
Contrasting surfaces add another dimension, from a translucent blue trench with a glossy finish to a fitted jacket and matching skirt in precious exotic leather—the ensemble we have already seen on Céline Dion during her appearance in Paris. Colour brings further depth: the Cara bag in deep teal suede, one of Ferragamo’s recent designs, creates a rich contrast against a camel outfit.
The accessories also draw on the maison’s history. Salvatore Ferragamo’s F wedge, introduced in 1947, inspires curved heels, while a new interpretation of the Vara bow carries that heritage into the collection.
Beyond these collections, the week brought many more presentations, events and encounters with people from across the industry. We will share more of these discoveries in our next stories. Milan Fashion Week remains a lively, inspiring occasion, worth experiencing for the atmosphere as much as for the fashion itself.
See you at our next fashion appointment!
