Emerging designers joining the calendar for the first time include Feben, which is the latest young brand to receive support from Dolce & Gabbana, and Sagaboi.
Tentpole Milan houses like Fendi, Prada, Gucci (where Sabato De Sarno will continue to unveil his direction for the brand), Jil Sander, Tom Ford, Ferragamo, and Bottega Veneta are also set to return to more or less their typical time slots.
The definitive schedule of shows, including details for presentations and events, is set to be released on the morning of February 7th.
