Flashes of creativity and elegance

Sportmax, opening the show, captivated with monochromatic silhouettes, oscillating between softness and rigor. The shades of powder and cream, reflecting the light, contrast with total black looks, while the baggy jeans stretch boldly, creating a fascinating play of lengths. The trench coats and jackets, crafted from fresh wools and soft leathers, are tailored with precision, while maintaining a sensation of lightness thanks to the airy fabrics that dance around the bodies.

Blumarine, for its part, explored the duality of the modern woman, blending romance and mystery.

“Fragility and freedom oppose strength and power”

, confides the creative director. The chiffon blouses and airy dresses, intertwined with black lace, evoke a sensual universe where the butterfly becomes a symbol of this struggle between softness and intensity.

Institution, the latest rising star of the Milanese scene, amazed with pieces inspired by the ancestral know-how of Azerbaijan. Galib Gassanoff, with his creative boldness, transforms the traditional chepken into fitted jackets, while blending weaving and modernity. His sculptural vision highlights a new era of fashion, where heritage and innovation intertwine.

This Milan Fashion Week, a true mirror of feminine aspirations, offers a glimpse into a spring-summer 2026 where elegance is intertwined with multifacetedness. An invitation to explore the nuances of beauty and style through the lens of boundless creativity.
