The big fashion marathon was in full swing at the start of the year, with men’s collections followed by couture and then women’s lines. From Prada to Dolce & Gabbana to Ermenegildo Zegna, the men took to the catwalks of Milan, proudly displaying Italian elegance.
Held from 17 to 21 January 2025, Men’s Fashion Week Autumn-Winter 2025-2026 celebrated some of the biggest names in Italian fashion, despite the absence of several iconic houses, including Gucci, Fendi and Moschino. Here’s a look back at five inspirational shows for next season.
Prada
‘Unbroken Instincts’ is the name of the men’s autumn-winter 2025-2026 collection by design duo Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons. The line emphasises the idea of dressing instinctively, freely, almost casually, while remaining sophisticated. ‘In the instinctive, a new refinement and an intimate, wild elegance can be revealed. Unintentional contrasts give rise to unexpected and seductive combinations, the body dresses itself by freeing itself from the constraints of reason’ explained the designers. The result was coats with animal-skin collars cut brutally or adorned with animal prints, sometimes worn with nothing underneath as if they had been put on in a hurry. These cohabited with layered down jackets, pyjama trousers worn with boots, frayed knitwear, leather ensembles and a multitude of protective symbols, such as four-leaf clovers, anchors and flowers for a bucolic touch.
