Milan Fashion Week Wraps With Armani After Prada Opener

Milan Fashion Week closed Sunday in Milan after a week of previews for spring and summer 2027.

The week opened Tuesday with Prada's show and ran through Sunday with presentations from Bottega Veneta and Giorgio Armani, according to ABC News. The schedule covered collections designed to be worn more than six months from now.

Giorgio Armani presented its women's Spring-Summer 2027 collection in Milan, Italy on Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026. The Sunday slot placed the house among the last presentations of the week.

The opening date was Sept. 22. Wallpaper reported ahead of the week that Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 would begin with a Prada show on 22 September 2026. That matches the Tuesday opening. Vogue listed Giorgio Armani as the closing show on Sunday, September 27.

AP photo editors gathered the runways in a gallery titled "Explore the highlights of Milan Fashion Week in photos." The edit pulls runway moments from across several days into one place for readers who did not follow every show.

For newcomers, the calendar takes some getting used to. A spring-summer collection is a preview of warmer-weather clothes. Designers show the clothes in September. Stores then make buying decisions, produce inventory and stock the pieces in the new year.

That lag is why an opening show matters. Prada set an early tone on Tuesday. Then other houses followed through the week with their own ideas for shape, fabric and color.

The close matters too. A final-day presentation gets a clear look. Bottega Veneta and Giorgio Armani held those late positions on Sunday.

What makes this stand out is the shape of the week itself. It started with one of Italy's best-known houses. It ended with two more. Short week. Big names on both ends.

The photos tell the rest. Runway images show how each collection looked in motion, under lights, in front of an audience. That is the part shoppers will eventually see translated into stores.
