Milan Fashion Week Begins with Wintry, Sporty Shows

Milan's menswear fashion week kicked off on Friday with Ralph Lauren and Dsquared2 showcasing wintry, sporty collections. Ralph Lauren marked his return to Milan after 24 years with a show featuring American elegance and nods to the Winter Olympics. Dsquared2 presented an 'army of holidaymakers' in provocative footwear and puffer jackets. Other designers, including Armani and Zegna, also showcased their collections, with a focus on craftsmanship and tailoring. The event comes as Italian fashion faces a crisis, with menswear turnover falling 2.1% in 2025. Will Milan Fashion Week help boost the industry, or will it struggle to regain its footing?
