Best in show: The top 10 collections from Milan Fashion Week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The spring/summer 2027 edition of Milan Fashion Week was one of consolidating visions as creative directors settled into their roles at Italian luxury houses. Prada focused on the single concept of a skirt, represented in 63 different ways, while Maria Grazia Chiuri’s second ready-to-wear collection for Fendi exhibited a loosening of house codes.

Few cities generate a quasi-religious fervour for fashion quite like Milan. In the Lombard capital, brands tack billboards onto scaffolding covering churches under renovation.

We have also just opened a show at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, as well as a small office [an offshoot of the practice’s base in London].
