Discover The Buzz From Milan Fashion Week FW23

You can now check Milan Fashion Week FW23 off your list, as the Italian capital joined New York and London in the recent fashion history books. As we await what Paris has in store, we reflect on the week that was—with such viral happenings as A$AP Rocky meeting K-Pop outfit NewJeans at Gucci, a fake Jennifer Coolidge showing up at Diesel, and the quiet reign of trench coats from the street-style set. Read on for our rundown of it all—plus, all the wishlist-worthy runway inspiration your future closet could possibly desire.

Maximilian Davis Makes His Mark at Ferragamo 

For his sophomore collection at Milan Fashion Week FW23, the 27-year-old British designer offered a futuristic vision of 1950s Hollywood—a flashback to when the original designer of the house was dressing Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe. Sharp tailoring, curvilinear knits, and metallic accents were out in force, while a star-studded audience—Uma Thurman, Hunter Schafer, (G)I-DLE’s Soyeon, and NCT’s Jeno—looked on.

A$AP Rocky Met NewJeans at Gucci

In lieu of a creative director, Gucci ambassador A$AP Rocky and rising K-pop outfit NewJeans gave onlookers plenty to post, tweet, and TikTok about when they met at the show during Milan Fashion Week FW23. Meanwhile, for the house’s in-between collection—the first since Alessandro Michele departed and the last before Sabato De Sarno begins (he’s currently still at Valentino)—the in-house design team sent out a collection of throwback pieces covered in the house’s old-school motifs.

A Jennifer Coolidge Imposter Attended Diesel’s Show

Alexis Stone sashayed down Diesel’s red carpet dressed in head-to-metallics and full prosthetics as everyone’s favorite White Lotus star. The London-based Drag Queen (whose real name is Elliot Joseph Ralph) is well-known for transforming into a celebrity—she’s previously arrived at fashion shows dressed as Dolly Parton. We can’t wait to see who’s up next!

Trench Coats Were a Big Street Style Trend

The time-honored classic, and SS23 runway trend, was out in force in New York and reappeared at Milan Fashion Week FW23. The new way to wear them? Nonchalantly open, belts hanging, to reveal lingerie-style slip dresses underneath.

Prepare to Obsess Over Prada’s New Triangle Bag

Posturing as a modern-day frame bag, complete with a top handle, Prada’s evolved iteration is set to be an instant hit. Holding all the tropes of the house’s sharp minimalism, but pushed further, consider this new angular addition an ‘It’ bag in the making.

Max Mara Declared Camel A Must-Have Neutral

If it ’ain't broke, why fix it? That seemed to be the thinking at Max Mara, where the house’s penchant for smooth camel tones was taken a step further. Dramatic, head-to-toe looks entirely doused in the chic hue stormed the runway at Milan Fashion Week FW23, covering everything from dresses and bags to tights and even lips. Our favorites? Teddy coats with hoods, chunky knitted headbands, and oversized obi belts brought a playful edge.
