Dolce & Gabbana Embrace Wrinkled Romance for Spring-Summer 2026
Dolce & Gabbana beckoned the warm weather with crumpled take-me-anywhere comfort in their menswear collection for spring-summer 2026 previewed during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday. The show opened and closed with a relaxed pajama silhouette – deliberately rumpled and effortless – in a clash of stripes with both shorts and long trousers. The Beethoven soundtrack belied designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's more deliberate intent underscoring the designers' structured approach to soft tailoring. A broad shoulder double-breasted suit jacket and tie worn with pink pinstriped pajama pants encapsulated the classic summer dilemma: work vs. pleasure. Raw knitwear or furry overcoats added texture. Boxers peeked out of waistbands and big shirt cuffs out of jacket sleeves challenging formal and casual codes. Nothing was cleaner on the runway than a crisp striped pajama top in sky-blue and white stripes tucked into white leather Bermuda shorts – good for work and for play. The designers' finale featured pajama suits, shorts and pants, with beaded floral patterned embroidery for an evening seaside shimmer worn with fuzzy sliders. Twin cameo brooches gave an antique accent. The crowd outside got to share in the fun when the finale models took the looks onto the streets, taking a full lap outside the designers' Metropol theater. Front-row guests included actors Zane Phillips, Theo James, Lucien Laviscount, and Michele Morrone.

Plan C Spring 2026: Vacation Clothes to Wear Again and Again
Carolina Castiglioni has found a new way to deliver the effortless chic her Plan C brand is known for. The label has carved out a niche of loyal customers with its intriguing mix of workwear, tailoring and sporty references that zhuzh up everyday dressing. But for spring 2026 Castiglioni broke free from the urban landscape and had her Plan C tribe take some time off — be it at the seaside or in the mountains. The vacation theme magnified the laid-back elegance of Castiglioni's clothes, making the case for covetable pieces to pack but also to wear again and again, even after returning to one's daily routine in the city. More from WWD Niccolò Pasqualetti Returns Home to Florence, With Something New to Say About Menswear Average Boys Club Is Calling for a Hot Boy Summer Robert Talbott Celebrates 75 Years With New Showroom, Updated Collection The lineup charmed with its heightened sense of spontaneity and naïf elements, detectable in everything from a crisp poplin dress with puffy shoulders and frill hemline to cute jewelry shaped as paddle boats or vintage toy cars. Some key looks were shared between women and men, including relaxed suits, cool pajama sets with contrasting piping and drawstrings, and zippered nylon anoraks letting lace slipdresses or paneled Bermuda shorts peek from underneath. Crinkled textures and asymmetric details amplified the nonchalant vibe, as seen on gauzy frocks in buttery shades, as well as a fluid long dress rendered in vibrant red or cut from a floral-printed silk fabric with a glossy effect, which was haphazardly gathered on its upper part. Elsewhere, ruffles running down striped shirts or viscose sets and knits playing with transparencies infused delicacy with their pastel color combinations; padded jackets in papery textures came with matching sequined-embellished skirts; while the simple lines of a leather jacket were elevated by a flower intarsia on the back. Those hoping to bring a Plan C souvenir back from the holidays can opt for an easy-peasy T-shirt printed with an original artwork by Castiglioni. It depicted a geometric vase with flowers, teasing the launch of the brand's homeware collection developed with Belgian design label Serax.

Zegna's first show outside Italy is a love letter to Dubai
Zegna, the Italian master of quiet luxury, just staged its first fashion show outside Italy. On Wednesday, it transformed Dubai Opera into an oasis of fashion, with nods to both Italy and the UAE. Guests were greeted by birdsong recorded in Oasi Zegna, the land planted as a forest by the founder, as they took in the set of sand dunes, native ghaf and palm trees, and a sand-strewn floor. Across 54 looks, the spring/summer 2026 show delivered a masterclass in the impeccable, laid-back dressing Zegna is known for, formed from elegant cuts and astonishing materials. About 600 guests, many of whom were flown in for the event, witnessed the unfolding of a typically discreet palette that shifted from cream and bone, through olive and fern green to autumnal dark red and mulberry, played out across quietly remarkable pieces. The art of understatement As with everything Zegna does, this was about layered nuance. Unlined jackets were casually worn over collared shirts of perforated suede, laser-cut in dogtooth patterning; tabard tops were spun from linen and paper; and cotton ticking became summery suit jackets and matching shorts. Crumpled linen was cut into boxy jackets, and woven into airy polo tops, while loose shirt jackets and even scarves arrived in Zegna's new 'washable leather'. In a nod to the host city, 25 of these runway looks were made especially for the Dubai show. The subtle brilliance of Zegna is best seen up close, when the true beauty of its pieces becomes apparent. Knitted suede tops, roomy crocheted tops that hang just-so, jacquard jackets that resemble tweed, and actual tweed spun into a light summer coat – this is a house that has mastered the art of understatement. The show featured a diverse cast of models – from teenage to septuagenarians – some barefoot, all restrained and elegant. Although predominantly featuring male models, there were a few women on the runway, clad in the same menswear as a sign of its wearability. As owners of its own factories (to oversee a process it calls 'sheep to shop'), Zegna can push boundaries of what is materially possible. As creative director Alessandro Sartori explained ahead of the show: 'Through this experimentation, we are finding a lot of new ideas.' In turn, these become new propositions for today's client. 'There is a huge space between classic and avant-garde menswear that we can explore,' Sartori said. The looks paraded in the opera house suggests this is not a middle ground, but instead a new frontier; making daily uniforms for the ultra-refined, using hyper-modern materials and devoid of logos, for a if-you-know-you-know cache. Stepping into Villa Zegna Zegna's polished ethos extends well beyond the runway, too. Part of the opera house has been converted into Villa Zegna, a private invitation-only club open for five days. Named after the original family house in Northern Italy, Villa Zegna allows clients to sample the new limited-edition Il Conte fragrance (created as a run of just 300 and housed in Murano glass bottles), and gain exclusive access to the Dubai capsule collection. Separate from the fashion show pieces, these additional 70 or so items cater to the lives of the ultra-rich – think croc skin jackets tumbled to the suppleness of suede, and hoodies in creamy cashmere. In a moment of Narnia-like charm, this arena can only be reached by passing through a rail of suits, which represents the wardrobe of founder Ermenegildo Zegna. Elsewhere, to ensure its guests glean the most from their visit, Zegna enlisted Dubai Tourism to guide them around the city Zegna describes as being a 'celebration of vision'. Such is the level of precision at Zegna, that every detail – from triple-stitched moccasins to leather-covered buttons – is catered to. Accordingly, choosing Dubai for its first venture beyond its homeland does not feel coincidental. Carefully considered, the city has been selected for the values it shares with the storied Italian house. As one reaches for the sky, the other deals in the height of quality and sophistication. Both are fascinated by the intersection of the innovative and the remarkable. And if this evening were anything to go by, it is a quest without end.

The Milan Men's Fashion Week Calendar for Spring 2026 Is Here
The weather is getting warmer and spring is slowly transitioning into summer—yay! But not so fast. Before us fashion folks grab our beach totes and turn on those 'out-of-office' autoreplies, an early summer of fashion shows is on the horizon. Soon after Louis Vuitton's resort 2026 show in the south of France this Thursday and Maria Grazia Chiuri's Rome extravaganza for Christian Dior next week, the men's shows will kick off at Pitti Uomo on June 17 and close in Paris on June 29. Sandwiched in between, as usual, is Milan Fashion Week, which just released its men's collections calendar for the spring 2026 season. Here's what you need to know about it. Gucci and Fendi, typically Milan Fashion Week staples, are missing in action again. Demna's debut show for the former is expected to happen during the ready-to-wear collections in September, with Gucci showing co-ed, studio-designed collections in the meantime. Sabato De Sarno reinstituted split shows at Gucci after Alessandro Michele's all-gender era—whether Demna follows suit or keeps it co-ed, as he did at Balenciaga, remains to be seen, but we can expect his spring 2026 presentation, at least, to encompass both genders given the fact that Gucci isn't showing during men's. Fendi, for its part, is being guided by Silvia Venturini Fendi's steady hand, and following the warm reception her centennial celebration in February received, she'll be staging a co-ed show in September once more. Also missing from the calendar are rising star Luca Magliano, JW Anderson as Jonathan Anderson prepares to present his debut collection for Dior Men in Paris on June 27, and Zegna, which usually occupies the closing slot in Milan. Alessandro Sartori will take his spring 2026 Zegna collection to Dubai this season instead. Scheduled for June 11, it will be the brand's first-ever runway outside of Italy and the unofficial kickoff to the spring 2026 men's collections. Giorgio Armani will tie the ribbon in Milan instead on June 23. In the absence of Federico Cina, who often opens the schedule, the inaugural honors go to Satoshi Kuwata of Setchu on June 20. Last season Kuwata staged his first full runway presentation as a guest at Pitti Uomo. Saul Nash is returning for his sophomore season in Milan following his fall 2025 show; he will present his collection on June 22. Etro is back on the presentation schedule with its men's collection showcase on June 22. (Designer Marco De Vincenzo began staging co-ed shows for fall and a stand-alone presentation for men's spring as of last year.) Bally is currently operating sans creative director after Simone Bellotti's exit (he's headed to Jil Sander), so the brand is preparing a co-ed presentation on… June 22. (Busy day, that one, be sure to pack snacks!)
