Milan · Big Four / AW26

Houses, craft, hair.

Milan is the heritage-house stop: Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana womenswear and menswear, with Pitti Uomo in Florence opening the June menswear circuit. Hair-as-silhouette language is read here first this season.

Use this desk for Milan weeks, Pitti Uomo, Italian-nationality faces, and Milan-tied hair finishes. Skip it if you need couture credits — those sit in Paris.

Skip this if you need haute couture. Milan is ready-to-wear and menswear craft, not the legally protected couture calendar.
