The National Chamber of Italian Fashion has officially released the calendar for Milan Fashion Week Men’s Spring/Summer 2026, which will take place from June 20 to June 24, 2025. The highly anticipated event will feature nearly 80 activities in total, including 20 fashion shows—15 of which will be held in person and 5 digitally—alongside 41 presentations and 16 additional events. The week promises a dynamic blend of creativity, tradition, and emerging global talent.
This season, Milan Fashion Week Men’s will open with a runway show by Satoshi Kuwata, designer of SETCHU and winner of both the 2023 LVMH Prize and the CNMI Fashion Trust Grant. As has become tradition, the event will close with a show by fashion icon Giorgio Armani, offering a signature finale to the fashion-filled week. Among the newcomers to the official PDF calendar, which will be shown for the first time during the Milan Fashion Week schedule, are the British label Qasimi and designers from Oporto, including Madrid-based David Catalán and Portuguese designer Miguel Vieira. Several other names will be making their debut during the week as well, such as Cascinelli, Leonardo Valentini, Merisi, Rowen Rose, Uma Wang, and Vivienne Westwood.
The Spring/Summer 2026 season will also feature the return of celebrated British designer Paul Smith, who will present a men’s fashion show in the historic Viale Umbria venue. Also returning are Dunhill, known for refined British formality, and Bally, which will debut its new collection through a presentation. Additionally, Jacob Cohën will mark an important milestone by celebrating its 40th anniversary during the week.
The calendar of shows begins on Friday, June 20, with SETCHU taking the opening slot at 5:00 PM, followed by Flowers at 6:30 PM and PDF at 8:00 PM. Saturday’s lineup includes Pronounce at 10:30 AM, Dolce & Gabbana at 12:30 PM, Paul Smith at 5:00 PM, and Emporio Armani at 7:00 PM. Sunday will see shows from Simon Cracker, Qasimi, Prada, Bally, Saul Nash, Tod’s, and Dunhill, spanning the day from 10:00 AM until 7:00 PM. Monday’s highlights include David Catalán at 9:30 AM, Miguel Vieira at 10:30 AM, and Giorgio Armani at 12:00 PM. On Tuesday, June 24, the digital presentations will feature Carnet-Archive, Rkive City, Victor Hart, Sagaboi, and Outbreak Lab, all within the morning hours.
Complementing the fashion shows, the National Chamber of Italian Fashion has launched a new promotional campaign in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan, YesMilano, and the Museo Olimpio. This initiative aims to spotlight Milan Fashion Week Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 throughout the city from June 19 to 24. The campaign was photographed by Giuseppe Triscari at the Flower Market in Milan—a distinctive urban setting operated by Sogemi—and was styled by Diletta Ariano with set design by Stilema Studio.
In the campaign visuals, three models are featured in striking looks by emerging and established designers including Ascend Beyond, Federico Cina, Gams Note, Magliano, Meriiisi, MTL Studio, SETCHU, and ViaPiave33. This effort not only promotes the week’s events but also reflects Milan’s ongoing role as a global capital of fashion, committed to innovation and creative diversity.
As the fashion world turns its attention to Milan, the Spring/Summer 2026 edition of Men’s Fashion Week promises a rich dialogue between heritage brands and forward-thinking newcomers. Through a packed schedule of events, presentations, and digital content, the city reaffirms its influence in shaping the future of menswear on the international stage.
