Milan may often be recognized as the most conservative of the major fashion capitals, but many of the best shows of the Spring 2025 season also saw a subtle thread of how playfulness, experimentation, and pushing individual boundaries can coexist alongside luxury heritage codes.
Del Core, for example, drew on scientific study and feminist critical theory to point toward a subtle interrogation of contemporary interconnectedness. The Attico continued to evolve with a vulnerable exploration of strength in fragility. Sabato De Sarno injected more of his own handwriting into his archive-focused vision for Gucci, while at Bottega Veneta, Matthieu Blazy revisited the possibility and play of childhood dress-up.
Prada takes home the coveted top spot with a collection that saw Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada set out to intentionally break the rules of the moment’s digital overload and shatter the algorithm with an ecstatic and beautifully chaotic celebration of utterly individual dressing.
