Dolce & Gabbana: A Cinematic Ode
Dolce & Gabbana’s latest collection channelled La Dolce Vita and the allure of paparazzi, reinterpreting cinematic glamour for the modern man.

Eveningwear dazzled with tailored blazers featuring wide lapels and stand collars, paired effortlessly with scarves. The collection struck a perfect balance between timeless sophistication and contemporary edge, proving Dolce & Gabbana’s mastery in crafting unforgettable menswear.
Giorgio Armani: Effortless Elegance
Giorgio Armani’s Autumn/Winter 2025/26 collection redefined elegance as freedom, embracing individuality over rigid formulas. Silhouettes exuded ease, with flowing overcoats, relaxed tailoring, and sporty gilets layered beneath suits. A palette of soft greys was electrified by jewel tones—ruby red, emerald green, and jadeite blue—bringing understated opulence to fine wools, silks, and cashmere. Textures stole the show, from tweed-like fabrics to luxurious shearling, while accessories like unstructured bags and statement hats completed the look. Armani delivered a confident, modern masculinity that effortlessly fused tradition with contemporary flair.
Emporio Armani: The Art of Seduction
Emporio Armani’s collection captivated with an intimate, lounge-inspired elegance. Long coats and stoles in luxurious long-haired fabrics paired with high-waisted pleated trousers embodied refined masculinity. Rich tones of tobacco, cognac, and chocolate complemented tactile fabrics, while touches of animal print and metallic threads added bold flair. Statement pieces, like a long shearling coat styled over a dinner suit, balanced tradition with eclectic influence. With every detail—from brocade-patterned bomber jackets to contemporary hats—the collection celebrated the body with effortless sophistication.
Tod’s: Timeless Italian Elegance
Tod’s celebrated Italian craftsmanship, blending understated style with impeccable materials. For this Milan Men’s Fashion Week, the Pashmy project reimagined wardrobe staples like bombers and shirt jackets in buttery suede and nappa leathers, paired with warm earth tones. Footwear highlights included updated Gommino styles, with the Winter Gommino in ankle boot, desert boot, and loafer variations stealing the show. Accessories like the oversized Di Bag Folio and trekking-inspired backpack added versatility to the collection. Tod’s delivered a refined yet modern take on luxury, rooted in artisanal excellence.
ZEGNA: A Masterclass in Craft and Nature
ZEGNA, showcasing the Vellus Aureum collection, celebrated the harmonious connection between man and nature. Set against a breathtaking landscape of rolling hills, the show evoked the lush landscapes of Australia, reflecting the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability. The collection featured luxurious outerwear made from the finest wool, including shearling jackets and the iconic Il Conte, while accessories such as tonal Mocassins and leather bags added sophistication. Alessandro Sartori’s reinterpretation of classic silhouettes with contemporary materials highlighted ZEGNA’s mastery of tailoring. The collection was a tribute to the brand’s values of exceptional quality and environmental responsibility.
JORDANLUCA: Love Takes Centre Stage

Friends, family, and rising fashion stars graced the runway, reflecting the show’s intimate and celebratory tone. British style took centre stage, with Harris Tweed, Marton Mills, and reimagined classics like duffle coats and trench coats defining the collection. Accessories blended tradition and edge, from shearling wedges to padlock-adorned Oxford flats. With its bold creativity and personal narrative, JORDANLUCA delivered one of the season’s standout moments.
Magliano: Adriatic Dreams
For Milan Men’s Fashion Week Magliano’s FW25 collection transported audiences to the Adriatic coast, blending Mediterranean hedonism with techno culture.

Accessories, like a provocative Medea bag, pushed boundaries, while Swarovski-studded knitwear and relic-like jewellery evoked a sense of lost mythology. This audacious, textured collection cemented Magliano as a standout of the season.
