While Milan isn’t typically discussed as a hotbed for emerging voices and next-generation talent in the same way as Paris or London, the designers making up our Standout category show that the Italian fashion capital is not to be left out when it comes to innovative independent voices.
Daniela Gregis and Calcaterra both displayed an evolved understanding of rich textures and oversized silhouettes – albeit with very distinctive perspectives – while the always disruptive and memorable Sunnei celebrated its ten years as a brand with a show that questioned the industry’s breakneck pace.
Del Core leads the pack with a collection that incorporated themes of scientific and literary inquiry along with deftly layered sheers into his practice of precise and imaginative contemporary formalism.
Here are The Impression’s Top 5 Standout fashion shows of the Milan Spring 2025 season as selected by our Editor-in-Chief, Kenneth Richard.
