As the Spring/Summer 2026 women's ready-to-wear season shifts from Paris to Milan, anticipation is building for one of the most exciting fashion weeks in recent years. The Milan calendar, running from September 23 to 29, is packed with momentum: 12 new names are joining the schedule, balancing out 11 absences and injecting fresh energy into the week. Among the highlights are hotly awaited returns, buzzworthy emerging labels, and game-changing debuts from new creative leads at Gucci, Jil Sander, and Bottega Veneta. Adding to the significance, Giorgio Armani will celebrate his 50th anniversary with a landmark show. Milan will host 55 physical runway shows this season—slightly more than February's 54—including two from Emporio Armani. The week wraps on Monday, September 29, with four digital showcases featuring Maxivive and three newcomers: Mein Corp by Italian designer Lorenzo Sala, Ukrainian label Nadya Dyzak (launched in 2008), and Zenam by Cameroonian designer Paul Tanonkou, previously featured on the menswear calendar. Gucci will open Milan Fashion Week on Tuesday, September 23, with Demna unveiling his first collection for the house. Although included in the official calendar, the debut will take the form of a presentation rather than a runway show. During Kering 's half-year results, Francesca Bellettini, Deputy Managing Director for House Development, stated that the artistic director will share 'his vision and a complete collection presented in a static way to remind people what Gucci is all about.' Demna will stage his first runway show for the brand in March 2026. Simone Bellotti will present his debut collection for Jil Sander on Wednesday, September 24. Later that week, on Saturday, September 27, Louise Trotter will reveal her first collection for Bottega Veneta, which will return to the calendar after its absence last February. Fendi will continue its centennial celebrations on the same day with a mixed-gender show curated by Silvia Venturini Fendi. Giorgio Armani will begin marking his anniversary earlier in the week, on September 24, with the opening of a major retrospective at the Pinacoteca di Brera, featuring 150 archival looks. He will then close Fashion Week on Sunday, September 28, with a celebratory show in the courtyard of honor at Palazzo Brera. Versace will step away from the runway this season as it undergoes a transition under new creative director Dario Vitale. Now part of the Prada Group, the house will stage its first official runway show under Vitale next winter. However, it will remain in the presentation calendar with a 'confidential' event on September 26, previewing the designer's first looks. KNWLS will make its Milan debut on Wednesday, September 24. Known for its sexy, Y2K-inspired silhouettes and focus on feminine empowerment, the London-based brand has built strong momentum in recent years. English designer Charlotte Knowles and her Canadian partner Alexandre Arsenault founded the label in 2017. A finalist for the 2022 LVMH Prize, KNWLS now appears in more than 50 top multi-brand retailers worldwide. Several designers will return to the Milan schedule this season after recent absences, including Boss, Calcaterra, Federico Cina, The Attico, and Stella Jean. Anglo-Nigerian designer Ineye Tokyo James, who first showed in Milan in February 2022 and returned in digital format last March, will also be back. Vietnamese designer Phan Dang Hoang, who debuted in September 2024, will return to the calendar as well. Indian designer Dhruv Kapoor and French designer Pierre-Louis Mascia, both previously shown on the menswear schedule, will shift to the women's week. The Milano Moda Graduate show will return on Sunday, September 28, for its 11th edition, spotlighting emerging talent from Italian fashion schools. A day earlier, on Saturday, September 27, the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards will honor leadership in eco-conscious fashion. Launched in 2017 by the Italian Fashion Chamber, the awards have become a benchmark in sustainable innovation. This summer edition will also see several brands step away from the schedule. In addition to Versace, both Marni and Bally will remain absent as they undergo creative transitions. Fiorucci will now appear on the Men's Fashion Week calendar, having shifted its showing to June. Other brands missing from the provisional lineup include Avavav, which had shown in Milan since September 2023; Susan Fang, who presented last March with support from Dolce & Gabbana; and Philipp Plein, K-Way, and DSquared2. Despite these absences, Milan Fashion Week will continue to showcase the strength of Made in Italy. Powerhouse labels such as Prada, Moschino, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, and Max Mara will lead a calendar that remains among the most influential in global fashion.

Burberry launches campaign for next month's Chinese Valentine's Day
China's a major focus for Burberry and remains a key part of the London fashion house's ongoing comeback. So it's no surprise its latest campaign targets its youth market and in particular Chinese Valentine's Day on 29 August. Called 'Love, unexpected', the campaign's accompanied by a special capsule collection which features a 'knot' concept, co-created with professors and students from Donghua University. In addition to celebrating Chinese Valentine's Day, the partnership also 'revitalises traditional handicrafts in the context of a modern fashion collection'. So the central emblem is inspired by knotting, 'a time-honoured craft in Chinese culture that carries many positive meanings and values'. The embroidered knot therefore features on a range of products, including T-shirts, cotton poplin shirts and shorts, as well as scarves made in Italian-woven silk. The wider campaign focus unites Burberry's 'expertise as a global luxury brand' with Donghua University's 'strengths in fashion education', with the partnership 'empower[ing] the next generation of Chinese creative talent by presenting them with a real industry brief that enhances both their creative and commercial skills'. Burberry's relationship with Donghua University stems from its partnership with the Shanghai Youth Development Foundation where it's one of the participating universities supported by the Burberry Youth Entrepreneurship Fund. 'We believe in the power of nurturing young creative talent. This initiative underscores our commitment to empowering youth, providing not only theoretical knowledge but also hands-on experience and insights crucial for shaping the future of fashion and luxury', said the house.

Art Wars: Everything you need to know about George Lucas' new museum
After decades of shaping galaxies far, far away, George Lucas finally made his debut at San Diego Comic-Con - the annual pop culture mega-event. It was Sunday afternoon when the 81-year-old veteran filmmaker, dressed, in his usual flannel shirt and jeans, stepped on stage at the convention to thunderous applause, with John Williams' iconic score for Star Wars swelling around the hall. But instead of teasing a new film or reviving an old franchise, Lucas was there for something far more personal: to talk about his very own museum. Co-founded with his wife, businesswoman Mellody Hobson, The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is a passion project that's been decades in the making. Set to open in Los Angeles in 2026, it promises to be a space that reflect Lucas' lifelong obsession with storytelling across genres, eras, and mediums. 'This is sort of a temple to the people's art,' Lucas told the crowd. "(Art) is more about a connection and emotional connection with the work, not how much it cost or what celebrity did it. I don't think it's anything anyone will tell you. If you have emotional connection, it's art. If you don't, just move onto the next painting,' Lucas added. Here's everything that's been revealed about this ambitious project so far: A museum that looks like a starship Designed by visionary architect Ma Yansong, of Chinese architecture firm MAD Architects, the museum's sleek, curved exterior resembles a giant spaceship - an appropriate design for the man who gave us the Millennium Falcon. Once completed, the five-story structure will span 300,000 square feet, making it about the size of a typical IKEA store. It will sit on 11 acres of landscaped green space next to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the University of Southern California, where Lucas once studied. So what will be inside? While Lucas is adamant that the museum is not a shrine dedicated to Star Wars, fans of the sci-fi franchise will still have plenty to geek out over inside. A sizzle reel, shown exclusively at the panel and narrated by Mace Windu himself, Samuel L. Jackson, previewed a number of Star Wars items that will be on display, including General Grievous's bike, the original landspeeder, and Anakin Skywalker's spaceship from The Phantom Menace. Many of these Star Wars works, also including artworks by legendary concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, will be housed in the museum's cinema gallery. But the scope of the museum goes far beyond a single franchise. Attendees of the panel were shown highlights from Lucas' personal collection, which includes paintings by Mexican icon Frida Kahlo and American painter Norman Rockwell, comic art by R. Crumb and Jack Kirby, and the first character drawing of Flash Gordon from 1934. Other marvels inside the futuristic building will include original Charles Schulz Peanuts strips from the 1950s and '60s, the first pen-and-ink splash page of Black Panther from 1968 and even the original drawing from the first Iron Man comic cover. Aside from expansive gallery space, the museum will also feature two cinemas, classrooms, a library, a restaurant, and a gift shop. The surrounding parkland will remain open to the public. When is the museum set to open? The museum was originally slated for completion in 2021, but the pandemic and the complexity of the build pushed the timeline back. While no specific opening date has been announced, it is set to open it's futuristic doors in 2026.
