Over the past month, fashion's biggest stages have delivered non-stop excitement, satisfying our couture cravings and bringing our wildest designer fantasies to life. In what felt like the blink of an eye, New York and London Fashion Weeks sped past, leaving fashion lovers eagerly awaiting the next destination: Milan. With high expectations to meet, Italy’s fashion capital rose to the occasion in spectacular style. Kicking off with Kim Jones’ highly anticipated Fendi collection, Milan’s lineup showcased powerhouse names like Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, Missoni, Prada, Gucci, Max Mara, and Ferragamo. From Fendi’s centennial celebration to Dolce & Gabbana’s tribute to Madonna, the Milanese runways dazzled with breathtaking, symbolic creations.
But Milan offered more than just runway magic—guests brought their own sartorial flair away from the catwalks, turning the streets into a stylish spectacle. Let’s take a look at the best street style moments Italy had to offer:
