Here's All You Need To Know About Milan Fashion Week 2023

The third leg of Fashion Month officially began in Milan on Wednesday and will continue until February 27, with over 50 Runway shows with the usual heavy hitters such as Prada, Gucci, Fendi, & Diesel.

Milan Fashion Week has begun with a bang, with leading Italian labels Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, and Missoni displaying flair and sophistication for the autumn/winter 2023-24 season. 

There will be 59 catwalk displays from Giorgio Armani to Bottega Veneta between February 21 and February 27, with the big fashion event taking place after news of LVMH and Kering's record revenues.

Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, and Missoni are among Italy's leading labels presenting at Milan Fashion Week this week, with the industry boosted by record sales despite the country's war-torn economy. 

The event will run from February 21 through February 27.
