Backstage is where the magic happens. While we are missing a few Milan regulars like Fendi (who showed their co-ed collection in February), and JW Anderson, there will still be plenty of backstage wonder in Milan this season. We’re looking forward to shows from our favorite Italian legacy brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, and Giorgio Armani, while rising stars like Setchu and Magliano make the week buzzy and vibey. And to capture all of the best moments is our photographer Acielle Tanbetova, who will be the first to get a glimpse at the new spring 2026 menswear pieces before they even hit the runways.
