As the sun begins to shine brighter in June, the fashion world turns its gaze towards the vibrant city of Milan. The city, known for its rich history and culture, is also renowned for its role in the global fashion industry. This year, the anticipation for Milan Fashion Week Men’s is palpable, with a line-up that promises to be both exciting and transformative.
The streets of Milan in June are a spectacle of fashion innovation, with the city’s inhabitants and visitors alike showcasing their unique style. This year, the men’s fashion shows promise to be an even more thrilling affair, with a series of debuts that are set to redefine the fashion landscape.
One of the most anticipated events is the first-ever runway show by ERL’s Eli Russell Linnetz at Pitti Uomo in Florence. Meanwhile, music and fashion icon Pharrell Williams is set to reveal his fresh perspective for Louis Vuitton, adding another layer of intrigue to the proceedings.
The headlines don’t stop there. Valentino is set to host a standalone menswear show, a significant shift from its co-ed format initiated in spring 2021. The show, aptly titled “Valentino The Narratives,” will take place at the Università degli Studi de Milano Statale, marking a return to the label’s roots. Valentino Garavani, the brand’s founder, held his inaugural menswear show at the same location in 1985. This spotlight on the brand’s menswear line is timely, given the recent attention it has received from celebrity fans such as BTS’s Suga, Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, and actor Pedro Pascal.

Ralph Lauren Purple Label is also making a comeback to Milan Fashion Week Men’s, having last showcased a fall collection here in 2020. GUCCI, too, is set to present a men’s collection, a precursor to Sabato De Sarno’s highly anticipated debut as creative director in September.
June 16th is shaping up to be a pivotal date in the fashion calendar, with the launch of Margherita Missoni’s new label, Maccapani. This innovative brand, which has been in the works since 2021, is set to debut a day before its e-commerce site goes live, embracing a see-now-buy-now model. Missoni’s decision to launch during men’s week is strategic, offering a chance to stand out during the shorter week and aligning with the brand’s genderless ethos.
The schedule is also packed with presentations from Italian fashion powerhouses such as Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio and Giorgio Armani, Tod’s, PRADA, Zegna, and Etro. JW Anderson will showcase his men’s and women’s collections on June 18th, while 2023 LVMH Prize Finalist Luca Magliano is set to reveal his latest collection earlier the same day.
Fans of FENDI’s menswear collection need not worry, as the brand will be showcasing her work as a guest of Pitti Uomo at its new factory in Tuscany.
Milan Fashion Week Men’s, running from June 16th to June 20th, 2023, promises to be a celebration of fashion innovation and creativity. As the city prepares for this grand event, the world watches in anticipation, ready to embrace the new trends and narratives that will emerge from this fashion capital.
