Well folks, Milan Fashion Week is now in the history books, but not without some interesting controversies—and more importantly some of next year’s key trends. Yes, you did see fringe and aspects of Americana in New York, and phenomenal, huge bubble hems in London, but guess what, the Italians must have done their thing because I am willing to bet you my shirt that you’re going to see these everywhere and, trust me, everywhere. And does it have to ever be said that you’ll find the outrageously chic Prada and Fendi here as well as the ever equally trendy Bottega Veneta and Gucci.
So, ahead, are the best Milan Fashion Week Spring/summer 2025 fashion trends that our team can’t stop thinking about.
- Flapper 2.0
Y2K, you’ve met your match: the Roaring ’20s. It could be seen this season that flapper dresses dominated Milan’s runways, however, each of them looked rather new. Stylistically, the design of the Fendi bag is in the art-deco mean of the 1920’s and for this collection; it was done in sheerness of fabrics synonymous with the 20’s. In part, Onitsuka Tiger also went literal, deferring to the below the knee length favored during the time and the straight up shape. Such looser piece’s evoking sens of the dancing dresses were presented as more subdued variations at Genny and Jil Sander.
Fendi opened Milan Fashion Week with a look to the1920s in tribute to the Italian luxury house’s founding in 1925. For the entire week, the flapper proved to be a favorite inspiration for designers. At Sportmax, beaded and fringe tops and dresses were shown as well as at Emporio Armani and the design team at from Tom Ford played dutes with the archetype of the flapper in pastel silk cording.
- Haute Hoodies
Luxury is again impacted by streetwear and in this case, by hoodies, at the most fundamental level. Fiorucci, Del Core, and Boss have all dressed the item down, layering the functional piece underneath tailored blazers and trench coats. Some designers put on the full ‘errand core’ like avavav and etro.
- Fringe Fest
Along with New York, fashion week in Milan also witnessed a serious fringe love after it walked through the New York Fashion week. The fringe was applied by Bottega Veneta and Jil Sander on accessories like sculpting fringing asDuring, scarves as well as headpieces. While Antonio Marras and Missoni thought that it was perfectly acceptable to have their models strut the runway in full fringe. Some of the designers, such as Fendi, Prada and Vivetta, incorporated it additional detail on the edges of the garments.
- 50 Shades of Orange
If NYFW needed a mascot in a single hue, then that was butter yellow, while LFW took pink to the background, Milan’s colour to go was orange… any shade of it. There were deep and warm (Ferrari and Ferragamo), the vintage tangerine (Alberta Ferretti), sharp and clear poses with reddish tint (Gucci).
- Hot Pants
It’s official: It was reignited again for Spring 2025 with no pants / hot pants trend. This other spring trend Diesel added to the itty-bitty shorts’ length: fringe. Versace used colored tights as the base layer and, although Bally did not incorporate micro mini shorts into the conventional business environment, he did show how micro mini shorts could be worn with a white button down and a reformed blazer.
- Shoulder Tease
Structured shoulders? Don’t know her. In this season, the Italian designers left garments to be suspended on models’ bodies for the ease of a shoulder exposure. Chicco Mao and Bottega Veneta used blazers and sweaters slipping off a shoulder just like they are wearing clothes a size bigger. Gcds, Prada and Marni all chose the just dropping off straps while the just one shoulder was borne through asymmetrical necklines of Roberto Cavalli.
- Birds of a Feather
These dainty, ethereal, and light pieces call for spring out loud. Using different tactics, these designers have been able to realise the realistic animation of real feathers. Starting from the sophisticated leather used at Bottega Veneta to the linen and banana leaf fabrication at Loro Piana, the looks are marvelous pieces.
