Milan designers are challenging the notion that a collection should dictate how one dresses, offering instead individual looks that can elevate, transform or simply complement a wardrobe.

Italian fashion house Prada played with distortion for its womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 collection at Milan Fashion Week on Thursday, presenting skirts suspended from belts, glasses with hugely oversized lenses and topless hats.

Fashion Week keeps going, after celeb-packed front rows in New York and London. Now, stars and models are hitting the Italian fashion capital of Milan to see shows from brands including Fendi, Alberta Ferretti and Boss (and enjoy the local cuisine while they're in town!).
