This Season Offers a Lighter Schedule as Gucci, Fendi, and More Opt to Show Men’s Collections Outside of the Week
Italy’s Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana has shared the official calendar for the Fall 2025 season of Milan Men’s Fashion Week. Encompassing a slightly reduced lineup as several major brands have opted to show off-calendar or with co-ed shows during Women’s Fashion Week in February, the calendar features 20 runway shows, with 16 held in-person and 4 presented digitally. There are also 38 static presentations and 3 by appointment, along with 7 additional events.
The week will commence with a runway debut by Pierre-Louis Mascia, following a successful format test at Pitti Uomo last June. The coed show, scheduled for 4 p.m. on January 17, will be the opening event, followed by the debut of indie label PDF by Domenico Formichetti and a return to the catwalk for Philipp Plein.
The following day, January 18, will see the return of Pronounce, which previously transitioned from London to Milan, alongside fashion shows by Jordan Luca and Emporio Armani.
January 19 features a lineup including Magliano and Prada, which retains its 2 p.m. time slot, followed by the 10th anniversary show of Dhruv Kapoor and the Milan debut of British emerging brand Saul Nash. Dunhill will close the day’s events, having also relocated from London in the previous season.
Giorgio Armani is set to hold its traditional double show on the morning of January 20, followed by Zegna in the afternoon, drawing the physical events to a close. January 21 will be dedicated to digital showcases featuring emerging brands.
Significant presentations throughout the week include Brunello Cucinelli on January 17 and Brioni on January 18, along with showcases from Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Pal Zileri, Corneliani, Kiton, Harmont & Blaine, and Mordecai. MSGM will conclude January 18 with a celebration in party format.
The subsequent day will feature presentations by Tod’s, Canali, and Woolrich Black Label by Todd Snyder, with Rubinacci making its debut on January 20. Additional brands such as Federico Cina, Maragno, Qasimi, Rold Skov, and a collaboration between Blauer and Pirelli will also stage presentations for the first time.
Notable changes include Fendi’s decision to merge its men’s and women’s shows into a coed event in February to commence its centennial celebrations, under the guidance of Silvia Venturini Fendi, the artistic director of accessories and menswear collections, following Kim Jones’ departure. Dsquared2 is shifting its presentation to the women’s schedule in celebration of its 30th anniversary. Gucci, opting to skip this round, plans a “unified” show in February, while Moschino recently unveiled its men’s Fall 2025 collection alongside the Women’s Pre-Fall line. Other absences include David Koma and Martine Rose.
The entire event can be followed via a dedicated live streaming site, which will also feature virtual showrooms for both multi-brand and single-brand collections. These virtual spaces will offer extensive information on the collections, including photos, videos, sales campaign details, and media releases. The platform will remain accessible post-event for ongoing industry engagement.
