The Must-Know Trends and Stories from Milan Fashion Week

Fashion Week Milano continued to shape the men’s runway conversation as reporter Jacob Gallagher recapped show reviews while preparing to move on to Paris. In Thom Browne’s presentation, the American designer emphasized a preference for structured, fully canvassed suits in contrast to industry trends toward softer shoulders and less tailoring. Browne discussed his long-standing approach after more than 20 years in business, and referenced the debate over Zegna Group’s 2018 stake in his label, while comparing Zegna’s lighter, unstructured look with his own and Tom Ford’s more “sexed-up” image. At Prada, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons aimed for simplicity, framing the collection around a single item: jeans, described as “the most universal object.” The report notes Zegna’s recent shift of its show to Los Angeles.
