Here’s everything you need to know from the last few days of Milan Fashion Week.

Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta has become known for holding one of the entertaining shows of Milan Fashion Week. For its SS25 spectacle, the house curated animal-inspired beanbags (made from Bottega leather) which saw Kendall Jenner sitting on a horse and A$AP Rocky sitting on a chicken beanbag amongst the audience. Inspired by childhood, creative director Matthieu Blazy said of his latest collection: “As a kid, there is the adventure of the every day – there’s a feeling that anything could happen, no matter how fantastical and we are not so bound by regular expectations and conventions. The door is open to the possibility of strange realities and wonders, impossible scenarios that banish disillusion. This is about the power of sincerity over strategy.” 

Tod’s 

Italian house Tod’s revealed an SS25 collection at Milan Fashion Week which celebrated “Artisanal Intelligence”. Explaining the process behind the theme, the house said it is about “valuing the individual and reminding us that, beyond any innovation, behind every product lies the knowledge and hands of its creator. Craftsmanship and the excellence of Made in Italy values, which have always been essential to Tod’s, constantly engage in dialogue with research and experimentation.”

Versace

For the new season, Donatella Versace brought the jovial spirit of the late 1990s to her SS25 collection for Versace at Milan Fashion Week this weekend. Bold prints, tea dresses and power suits all took to the runway through a kaleidoscope of nostalgic colourways, from pastel palettes to bold brown and blue shades.

D&G

Dolce & Gabbana brought nostalgic nineties glamour to the house’s SS25 show at Milan Fashion Week. Titled “Italian Beauty” the collection was in part an ode to Madonna’s 1990 Blonde Ambition tour wardrobe (the music icon was a guest at the SS25 show and received a standing ovation). Across the runway, there were platinum wigs and silhouettes inspired by the era.
