Here are the standout shows from Milan Men's Fashion Week 2025
Over several packed days, Milan reaffirmed its place at the heart of men's fashion, hosting a packed lineup of runway shows that set the tone for Spring/Summer 2026. Against a backdrop of shifting global moods and evolving definitions of masculinity, designers used the runway to explore not just what men will wear next summer - but how they'll also express themselves. Here are three standout shows that captured the spirit of the season: Dolce & Gabbana Dolce & Gabbana embraced a relaxed, crumpled elegance, presenting a collection that felt equal parts resort-ready and runway-polished. Striped pyjama sets, loose tailoring, and soft textures like raw knits and fuzzy coats blurred the lines between loungewear and luxury. Standout looks paired crisp PJ tops with leather Bermuda shorts, while the finale shimmered with beaded embroidery and sliders. Prada In a world growing tenser by the day, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons offered a gentler message. Their collection opened with playful high-cut shorts and sun-printed shirting, gradually shifting into layered tailoring, flip-flops, and loose silhouettes that balanced ease with edge. Bright cone-shaped raffia hats added humor, while a soft, unstructured palette moved from muted neutrals to vivid color blocks. It was a collection that mixed innocence with intellect - fashion as reflection, not reaction. Armani Though Giorgio Armani was absent from the show, his presence was deeply felt in a collection that celebrated cultural curiosity and timeless elegance. Emporio Armani's Spring/Summer 2026 line was crafted for the modern nomad: lightweight tunics, scarf-collar jackets, Moroccan-inspired prints, and breezy natural fabrics spoke to travel and tranquility.

French police probe fake Disneyland 'marriage' with nine-year-old
Two people were held for questioning in the case, which initially caused alarm when staff alerted police on Saturday that it could have concerned an illegal child marriage. But investigators now believe that the so-called "marriage" was staged, with the girl's mother reportedly saying that she wanted her to feel like a Disney "princess" for the day. "The event turned out to be a staged event, with the guests themselves extras" invited to be part of the stunt, deputy prosecutor Alexandre Verney said. Advertisement "So it wasn't a wedding, but a staged wedding filmed with around a hundred extras. They hired Disneyland Paris, pretending it was a real wedding," he told AFP. Four people were arrested and taken into custody, and the questioning of two of them - suspected of fraud and money laundering - was extended on Saturday evening. They are the so-called "groom" who is believed to be behind the event, 22 years old and "presumed to be British", and a Latvian woman, 24, said a source close to the case. However, the other two people detained - a 41-year-old Ukrainian woman, and a 55-year-old Latvian man - were released. The investigations, including a medical examination of the nine-year-old girl, a Ukrainian national, found that "she had not been subjected to any violence or coercive acts," the prosecutor's office said. According to the Le Parisien daily, which first reported the incident, a man had several weeks previously hired the Disneyland Paris complex for a sum of €130,000 for several hours before it opened to the public. Staff were astonished when the nine-year-old appeared wearing high heels on Saturday morning, barely able to stand in the elaborate footwear, and they alerted the authorities, it said. Advertisement The paper said the man who organised the event had submitted false documents concerning his identity and Disneyland filed a complaint. Hundreds of extras were bussed in to play the part of the guests, it said, while the girl's mother told investigators she wanted to organise a "day worthy of a princess" for her daughter.
