Milan Fashion Week’s fourth day maintained the trend of audacious ingenuity and artistic expression.
Renowned designers showcased ensembles that experimented with vivid color schemes, inventive textures, and forms that varied from geometric to flowing.
Highlights of the day were innovative takes on classic looks as well as cutting-edge creations that perfectly encapsulated the multifaceted nature of Milan’s fashion landscape.
GUCCI
Presenting at Triennale Milano, Sabato De Sarno’s Spring/Summer 2025 Gucci collection honors ephemeral yet meaningful events, like as the golden hour of sunsets.
Mirroring Gucci’s changing partnership with the Triennale, the area changes into a colorful passageway that leads spectators from white to Gucci Rosso Ancora. The collection is a construction journey that combines Gucci’s history with De Sarno’s obsessions with tailoring, 60s styles, leather, and lingerie.
Notable pieces from the collection include the Gucci Bamboo 1947 bag. A relaxed yet opulent ambiance infused with the brand’s history is created by playful layering of men’s and women’s wardrobes, bold tailoring, and vintage-inspired pieces.
LORO PIANA
The ongoing fashion marathon signals a shift to a bolder, maximalist wave, yet Loro Piana remains a symbol of understated elegance. For Spring 2025, the brand emphasizes linen as the noble fiber of the season, highlighted in an installation at Palazzo Belgioioso featuring artworks by Adriana Meunié.
A standout fire red look pairs a cropped jacket with a knee-length skirt, while eveningwear combines sparkly embellishments with easy shapes.
The collection also includes sunglasses crafted in Japan, named after Loro Piana’s iconic garments, celebrating the brand’s craftsmanship.
MISSONI
Reimagining its signature knitwear was the main theme of Missoni’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection at Milan Fashion Week. The collection focused on vivid, bright patterns, especially the zigzag patterns that are emblematic of the brand.
With the introduction of lighter, thinner materials like cashmere and wool, Missoni made knitwear suitable for the warmer months.
These comprised hoodies, bomber jackets, and loose-fitting sweaters with a new take on its classic style thanks to a combination of these signature designs woven into different textiles including nylon.
The collection exuded a laid-back, cozy vibe that was firmly anchored in the brand’s vibrant past.
SPORTMAX
The Spring/Summer 2025 Sportmax line emphasizes design intuition and perfection while embracing simple elegance. The body is encircled by flowing, sculptural forms that combine artistry and practicality.
The catwalk, which took place in the Pinacoteca di Brera, showcased Italian creativity with a fusion of monochromatic costumes and mineral hues. The collection strikes a balance between asymmetric layering, soft tailoring, and structured outerwear—accessory pieces like the Soffy purse debut with a contemporary appeal.
The sensuality and adaptability essential to Sportmax’s aesthetic are celebrated by the light, pliable textiles, and geometric cuts, which conjure a new femininity.
TOD’S
For spring, Tod’s Creative Director Matteo Tamburini drew inspiration from a Mediterranean journey, emphasizing the beauty of relaxed shapes and artisanal craftsmanship. This vision was symbolized by Lorenzo Quinn’s sculpture of hands gripping leather bands at Milan’s Macchi foundry, highlighting the brand’s dedication to Italian know-how.
Tamburini’s color palette reflected this ethos, featuring shades of dark green, grey, and brown, alongside accents of white, dark blue, and sunny yellow. He explored innovative silhouettes that combined traditional craftsmanship with contemporary styles, resulting in relaxed yet tailored pieces that emphasized comfort without sacrificing sophistication.
The collection embraced materials like poplin and leather, with fresh patterns such as stripes and reversed checks. The latter, printed inside out on lightweight cotton fabrics, created a veiled effect that added depth and texture to the garments.
Tamburini’s second collection honored Tod’s heritage while pushing boundaries in design and fit, showcasing a commitment to sustainable luxury with responsibly sourced materials and timeless designs that transcend trends.
VERSACE
Versace’s spring 2025 collection featured a vibrant mix of colors, ranging from baby blue and lilac to rich browns and sunny yellow tones, all inspired by the ’90s.
It showcased casual separates like floral slips, silky blouses, and zigzag polo sweaters for women, alongside rave-inspired looks for men, including sheer floral shirts and Medusa-print jackets. Tailoring also made a strong appearance, highlighted by clean-cut leather jackets, vests, and pants.
The collection incorporated materials like leather, lace, and silk, alongside innovative 3D-printed recycled nylon in metal mesh designs. Quirky accessories included sculptural heels and flower fragment brooches made from recycled plastics.
Reflecting on the spring 1997 Versus collection, Donatella emphasized themes of “freedom” and “happiness,” championing fashion that is both thoughtful and uplifting.
