This week, editors, buyers, stylists and other industry stalwarts will criss-cross Milan for the spring/summer 2027 shows, with plenty to look forward to – from Simone Rizzo and Loris Messina’s Moschino debut to Maria Grazia Chiuri’s second outing for Fendi. Tonight, though, the city’s historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II was the destination, as some of the world’s most in-demand models gathered beneath its glass roof for Vogue World: Milano. Dressed by Italy’s most storied houses, they traced the centuries of craft and creativity that have shaped Italian fashion.

From homegrown talent Vittoria Ceretti and Gigi Hadid in Renaissance-inspired textiles to Paloma Elsesser and Imaan’s colourful ode to “Made in Italy”, scroll on for the models who brought Vogue World: Milano to life.
