In Milan, Ferragamo, Stella Jean and Msgm Bank in a vibrant summer

The fever seized Milan on Saturday, when Meryl Streep, in the midst of the filming of “The Devil Wears Prada 2”, was seen in the front row in Dolce & Gabbana. In this effervescent atmosphere, Milanese harvesters were particularly optimistic, depositing in a rebound. For next summer, they are betting on a return to lightness and a feeling of fun, with creations full of vitality. The collections of their women ready to use for spring/summer 2026 give pride to fluid, colorful, rich, texture and printing, particularly in Ferragamo, Stella Jean and MSGM.

Class, sensuality, movement. With Maximilian Davis directing aesthetics since 2022, Ferragamo continues its repositioning, cultivating a distinctive idea of ​​luxury and elegance. Sophisticated silhouettes and exquisite materials remain, once again, the cornerstones of their wardrobe.

This season, the British designer played as never before with color and texture, developing two threads: one female, the other more masculine.

The adaptation chapter embraced dark tones and an austere and almost winter spirit, with coats, gabardines and a series of costumes. Loose pants that accumulate with tuxedo jackets, tight at the waist with a long and arrowed satin scarf. Sometimes, these costumes assumed the ease of pajamas and gown. The leather appeared, for example, in a sleeveless shirt combined with a straight suede skirt, while a small short sleeve dress was cut in vinyl.

The other side of the collection was inclined in refined sensuality with diaphanous fabrics, often transparent, such as organs vertically divided into the front, or lace slippage with satin inlays. Silk dresses stopped above the knee, sometimes spreading in long and flutter tapes or fine fringes. This detail with fringes also drew the flanks and fists, evoking the fluid and oscillating appearance of the 1920s.

I am appealing to the VAT being reduced for all handicraft fashion products, and that our artisans can benefit from the self -ercling,” said the designer on stage.

At the end of his program, Stella Jean was flashing the white shirt with the slogan “Grazie, Mr Armani”, which he carried in 2013, when the Couturier showed his support by allowing him to organize his first show in Milan. “I wanted to pay him a last tribute.

In MSGM, Massimo Giorgetti transformed his boutique in the center of Milan, in the apogee of Saturday's purchases, in a vast study of glass walls and photos, where passers -by can observe through the windows of the wide store, such as a huge aquarium, the different phases of putting a fashion show, from the settings and the makeup to the session.

The street and carefree girls of their first days have become young women. They still show a fresh and cheerful style, but with a slightly more refined touch. Their cabinets took elegant haute couture dresses in the cotton poplin and polka dots numbers, small marlaced coats and satén of floral printed duchess. Not forgetting the essential cardigan, reinvented in pink or pop orange and metal storm.

Giorgetti proposes a fighter firmly anchored in the present, as evidenced by the models that leave the boutique and cut the next street before an enchanted audience, hidden bags under the arm, as in real life. They slide into beautiful dresses, tartan miniskirts and motifs of splicing hybrid t -shirts. They play with Breton stripes, mixing them with metal pieces of silver. A striped sweater thrown on a white Maxi shirt and wide -legged pants is enough to give them an instant touch.
