You’re no doubt aware Anna Wintour supports stars from the world of sport via the cover of Vogue. Throughout her tenure at the helm of the American fashion bible, Wintour has endorsed the likes of Marion Jones, LeBron James, Naomi Osaka, Simone Biles, and Coco Gauff while Serena Williams has a total of four covers under her belt. Up next on the cover of Vogue with the unveiling of the Winter 2025 issue are Angel Reese and Gabby Thomas. The American professional basketball player and American track and field athlete both pose for Norman Jean Roy. Reese strikes a pose in a ruby red Versace number, as chosen by stylist Julia Sarr-Jamois. Gabby Thomas (also photographed by Norman Jean Roy) is captured in crisp black and white, dressed by stylist Yohana Lebasi in a fringed Sportmax top and Tory Burch shoes.

Angel Reese for Vogue Winter 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“NO! We only like fashion with sports when models and a few celebrities do editorials inspired by sports practices,” instantly declared DK92.

“Oh no. I was dreaming of some movie star on the cover, like Demi, Angelina or Pamela,” shared forum member jeje10.

“I don’t know anything about women’s basketball but it’s weird that Vogue didn’t pick Caitlin Clark, I thought she was supposed to be the big star?” Marc10 quizzed.

Ivancica commented: “I like Gabby Thomas, but not this cover, unfortunately!”

“I couldn’t care less about a sports cover but I don’t mind the first one with Angel Reese. I like the color scheme and styling,” admired kokobombon.

“The Angel Reese cover is the strongest out of the two. It doesn’t rock my world but it feels… fierce(?). I like the coloring, the stare (despite the weird-looking eyes), the movement of the hair, and how Reese is wearing that Versace. Overall, it’s strong and commanding,” vogue28 voiced.

Make no mistake ELLE Spain is one of those magazines we anticipate each and every months, here at theFashionSpot. Can you blame us? Covers over recent months alone, starring the likes of Bianca Balti, Penélope Cruz, Monica Bellucci, Diane Kruger, Susan Sarandon, Eniko Mihalik, and Valentina Sampaio have wowed us to no end. Next up on the cover of ELLE Spain for November 2024 is none other than Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu. Editor Benedetta Poletti insisted the French actress (perhaps best known as Sylvie in Netflix’s Emily in Paris) pose for photographer Nicolas Valois across a duo of covers. In the first cover, Philippine is all smiles in a look from Sabato De Sarno’s Fall 2024 Gucci collection. Stylist Bárbara Garralda then selected a little black Sportmax dress for Leroy-Beaulieu to rock in cover two (after the jump).

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu on the November 2024 Covers of ELLE Spain:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Mother,” simply declared JPineapple upon checking out the two covers.

“LOVEEEEE! Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu should be getting so much more exposure than Lily Collins,” expressed forum member marsnoop2.

“This is lovely. Great use of color too,” instantly admired Nomar.

“You can never miss with Ms. Sylvia,” Deleted Member 1957 enthused.

Vogue28 was also very much a fan. “Absolutely love Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu! She is one of the most chic and sexiest women on TV right now and always looks fantastic. Always down for seeing Philippine splashed across the covers of fashion magazines and all involved have done a superb job here. The cover with the little black dress is my favorite!” he raved.

Oaklee91 used the word “sublime” to describe the outcome and we couldn’t possibly disagree.

Three down, one to go and that’s a complete wrap on the Spring 2025 season of Milan Fashion Week. Officially running from September 17-23, this season of MFW most definitely has us in a chokehold here at theFashionSpot.

Report: Milan Fashion Week Spring 2025

The Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana looked to Kim Jones at Fendi to open up the Milanese fashion festivities. Ahead of Fendi’s monumental 100th anniversary in 2025, the designer looked back to the Roaring Twenties. At Marni, Francesco Risso’s showcase was soundtracked by a group of piano players. The designer presented a collection focusing on ruffles, volumes and dresses reminiscent of elaborate prom dresses, celebrating his ninth year as creative director. Alberta Ferretti displayed airy fabrications enhancing the movement of the body, helping get day one of Milan Fashion Week off to a fine start.

Day two of Milan Fashion Week began with Antonio Marras, unveiling a collection inspired by the 1950s. The lineup consisted of statement looks including XL skirts and hats made of raffia, and prints of tropical landscapes and palm trees. Ombré silky separates, vintage car prints, and neutral office-ready tailoring were served up by Luke and Lucie Meier at Jil Sander while Daniel Del Core doubled down on the sheer trend and invited supermodel Naomi Campbell to close his show. Speaking of supermodels, Fausto Puglisi paid tribute to the late Roberto Cavalli with a brigade of the designer’s favorite model muses.

Inspired by the discipline of scientists and mathematicians, the sleek and sophisticated collection of Ian Griffiths of Max Mara paid homage to Alexandrian philosopher and teacher Hypatia. For spring, Prada co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons looked to gowns in vibrant hues, futuristic eyewear, patterned knits, and revived old Prada classics for footwear. At a venue surrounded by hanging clothes, Adrian Appiolaza unveiled his sophomore womenswear collection for Moschino – where the ordinary became extraordinary.

Tod’s creative director Matteo Tamburini found inspiration for spring in a journey through the Mediterranean coast. Mid-afternoon on September 20 during Milan Fashion Week Spring 2025, Sabato De Sarno exhibited his third mainline womenswear offering as Gucci creative director. Perhaps the most anticipated event on the Milan Fashion Week calendar, the designer honed in on his love for the silhouettes of the 1960s and gave them a modern twist. At Versace, Donatella referenced the Spring 1997 Versus collection and reimagined the prints from the archive.

Inspired by ballerinas, cross-crossed cardigans, tights, bodysuits, or ribbon ballet shoes were on full display at Maximilian Davis’ Ferragamo. The iconic Italian design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana paid homage to the equally as iconic Madonna for the Spring 2025 Dolce & Gabbana collection, complete with the iconic cone bra and models sporting blonde wigs in a nod to the queen of pop’s Blond Ambition tour. Matthieu Blazy gave power dressing a whole new, playful meaning with his latest offering for Bottega Veneta, essentially closing out Milan Fashion Week in high style.

Here’s all the Hits & Misses of Milan Fashion Week Spring 2025:

MISS | Prada

“I really despise Raf Simons with all my heart. Everything he does is so cold, emotionless, serious and pretentious. you can see he hates women and his use of colors is ghastly!” [carla56]

“WHAT THE SH#T IS THIS? I’m traumatized…” [DK92]

“A mess. And not a good kind of mess. Casting was awful.” [Isami]

See all the looks from the Prada Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Tod’s

“Quiet luxury done right.” [LadyJunon]

“Love this! Even the shower curtain gowns at the end!” [youthinasia]

“I want everything. Even the set design is cleverly done. Obviously Matteo Tamburini has less archive to play around with but certainly they want to project the craftsmanship luxury for the brand. Yes for everything.” [TaylorBinque]

See all the looks from the Tod’s Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Moschino

“I can’t believe this is only Adrian Appiolaza’s second collection. I am bored already. There is no theme here, an extremely unforgettable parade of expensive clown clothes.” [TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

“Can’t believe I’m saying this, but this actually makes me appreciate Jeremy Scott. This brand is only ‘good’ when it’s dumb and childish, which was Scott’s main talent. Whenever someone tries to go into a Betsy Johnson or Sonya Rykiel direction it never ends up being very good because it renders the brand unnecessary.” [GoldenPetals]

“When I see collections like this I wonder how someone could have the nerve to call themselves a fashion designer.” [GivenchyHomme]

See all the looks from the Moschino Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Max Mara

“It works! Straight to the point, efficient, well styled. On point!” [Lola701]

“One of the brands that delivers season after season. Just enough glamour, opulence, and sexiness to everything.” [tourbillions]

“I’m in love with this collection, just as much as the vast majority. Divine, absolutely divine from the opening look to that closing look on Vittoria Ceretti. From the set to the styling it’s all just so chic, effortless, and utterly immaculate. One of the standout shows from Milan Fashion Week, without a shadow of a doubt.” [vogue28]

See all the looks from the Max Mara Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini

“One of Lorenzo Serafini’s best collections in a long time.” [Lola701]

“Some dresses are stellar!” [disco54]

“I really like almost every single look. It looks like what Chemena Kamali did at Chloé, except done right instead of what she actually produced.” [philophile]

See all the looks from the Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | MM6 Maison Margiela

“Normally I always like something from MM6, because they always keep a bit of the original Margiela spirit, but this! Especially if you watch the video. It’s like Y2K’s Baby Phat all over again. And the music didn’t help to recreate that vibe.” [philophile]

“There is something Philipp Plein or Dsquared2, in a sl*tty Y2K trash-reality TV vibe.” [yslforever]

“This looks more Diesel than Margiela. Generic garments with some light archival regurgitation. They need new ideas to make Margiela evolve.” [jeanclaude]

See all the looks from the MM6 Maison Margiela Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | No.21

“This is STUNNING!” [TianCouture]

“Finally, something good to eat! Obsessed with that brocade cocktail dress/striped scarf combo! I love this.” [IsabelMarantBoy]

“I watched this show live and the collection was so fun, joyful and delicious. It’s very 2000s Prada, but it’s done so well.” [LadyJunon]

See all the looks from the No.21 Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Fendi

“A slow-paced boring show of boring clothes with a terrible casting. Such a waste of resources. And this time, even Silvia’s accessories couldn’t save it.” [Lola701]

“This is really bad, and the bags are awful too.” [TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

“Boring clothes, boring set and a parade of boring girls with dead eyes. The styling was hideous, whoever put models in those ugly boots should be jailed. Kim Jones really isn’t helping himself by showing an already soulless collection in such sterile space and casting girls that bring nothing.” [avonlea002]

See all the looks from the Fendi Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Del Core

“Maybe Daniel Del Core’s most subtle collection! Very pleasing.” [Lola701]

“More Jil Sander than the current Jil Sander, and I love it.” [yslforever]

“He’s one of my favorite designers (if not my favorite at the minute) and even if this is slightly tamed for what I was expecting, it’s still really amazing! Naomi looked so stunning that I forgot how fed up I was of seeing her! Breathtaking!” [WAVES]

See all the looks from the Del Core Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Jil Sander

“10 years after and Lucie Meier and Luke Meier still don’t have a f*cking clue about Jil Sander.” [helmutnotdead]

“Yikes. It’s so stuffy and unflattering. At this point just throw the whole brand away.” [GoldenPetals]

“Everything but Jil Sander (as always). Lucie Meier and Luke Meier destroy the brand image with collections like this one. Horrible oversized jackets with huge shoulder pads falling…horrible prints and stupid ornaments.” [jeanclaude]

See all the looks from the Jil Sander Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Roberto Cavalli

“The beginning was weird and full of copies. Very limited and one note. Then, Puglisi ran wild with the prints. The random homage could’ve been better incorporated or reflected throughout the show. It’s giving tacky. We’re missing the party, the glamour, the zest of life. Where is the excitement, confidence, enthusiasm?” [TerraVera]

“The models carried the show literally. The clothes were a shadow of the high-octane glamour of Roberto Cavalli.” [disco54]

“The problem with referencing Cavalli is that people can look up the old shows, compare and be disappointed. Cavalli was a master of glamour but also of leather. There was substance.” [Alquimista]

See all the looks from the Roberto Cavalli Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Dolce & Gabbana

“This collection isn’t just Madonna coded, it’s Madonna from start to finish. An amazing tribute to her, and so appropriate that she was in the front row.” [mepps]

“It’s a very nice hommage. After all, Madonna was very instrumental in their success.” [Lola701]

“I like this collection a lot probably because it has allure and sultriness of Monica Bellucci in Malena!” [JohannesL]

See all the looks from the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Gucci

“The show was a disaster. First look and I already knew it was a flop. The basicness of it. And those tracksuit-inspired pants oh dear. Seriously, Sabato De Sarno has zero vision for the brand. This collection was just a bunch of uninspired clothes put together with no emotion, no direction.” [Frederic01]

“So basic and generic! No POV at all. It’s many things mixed together to hide the lack of vision. Gucci needs somebody with a real vision. This could be a Zara fashion show.” [Creative]

“This was a trunk show. De Sarno showed everything under the sun so ultimately, everybody is going to find something they like. I find it decent verging on boring. A non-event.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Gucci Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Versace

“I’m so tired of Donatella at this point. Everything she’s done in the last decade has either been a sh*tty archive rehash or a even sh*ttier attempt at being ‘Sexy Prada’.” [LadyJunon]

“What a lovely Missoni collection.” [Magic Spells]

“What in the identity crisis was that? It looked like a bad Versus collection that has been rotting in the warehouse since late 90’s. The draping numbers towards the end were offensive. Donatella should retire.” [avonlea002]

See all the looks from the Versace Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Boss

“Ouch. What a snoozefest.” [90sfan]

“Yawn. Why is spring heavy and dark this season? The energy of Milan is exhausted and autopilot.” [TerraVera]

“I’m sorry, I fully stopped taking this seriously after seeing that one TikTok dude who’s famous for pulling a weird face come out in look #12. What the actual.” [Mr-Dale]

See all the looks from the Boss Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Antonio Marras

“Gorgeous. Beautiful clothing, wonderful prints and color combinations.” [Nimsay]

“This stands out in a sea of minimalist Phoebe Philo and Prada copies. Nice to see high-fashion clothes actually made for adults.” [tourbillions]

“The look with the straw hat and straw skirt combo made me gasp. Love it!” [philophile]

See all the looks from the Antonio Marras Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Marni

“Probably Francesco Risso’s best collection ever and possibly his closest to the spirit of Marni.” [Lola701]

“This is gorgeous. I feel like THIS is how you do luxury in 2024. It’s both timeless and fresh. I love that comic book-like quality it’s got. It fits so well at Marni.” [GoldenPetals]

“I really loved this collection! It was much more pared down compared to his previous offering for the house and I think that’s a good thing.” [Ruito]

See all the looks from the Marni Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Bottega Veneta

“A hodgepodge of ideas as per but this time it was even more disjointed. Still, no cohesion to be found in Matthieu Blazy’s collections. I found it boring. Still playing with the same motifs that he’s done to death.” [mteb123]

“I am very allergic to his BV. Everything is too heavy, cumbersome, rigid and strict. There is no ease, no sensuality.” [IloveDiorHomme]

“Very gimmicky. I think this is a collection of gimmicks with an excessive amount of fabrics. I think it’s time re-size things.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Bottega Veneta Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Ferrari

“They forgot to put the engine into Rocco Iannone’s Ferrari…” [jeanclaude]

“Ferrari need to hire someone very relevant in the fashion conversation and relaunch this project. If they want any real shot at being a serious contender in fashion…” [tourbillions]

“For me, Ferrari as a fashion brand is not working.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Ferrari Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Sportmax

“This is so chic and clean. Some fabulous cutting here.” [Nomar]

“Sportmax has had many very good collections. This one being one more.” [WAVES]

“When did Sportmax get this… decent? It’s quite beautiful.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Sportmax Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | The Attico

“Can’t stand it. And why new designers think it’s cool and underground to mix a bomber jacket with night dress? It’s so passe and not cool, sorry.” [Creative]

“For a brand called The Attico, this looks like it has been stored in a basement for a very long time…” [jeanclaude]

“I will not remember much of this within the next 24 hours, unfortunately.” [Cocteau Stone]

See all the looks from The Attico Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Bally

“Yikes, the tailoring is abysmal.” [avonlea002]

“What is this? Bally des Garçons? Comme des Bally? Hideous proportions and volumes, awful prints! What was the inspiration here… Quasimodo?? The disconnection with the image of the brand (the shoes) is abysmal.” [jeanclaude]

“The proportions and tailoring of those leather coats are killing me. They are so frumpy and unflattering.” [GivenchyHomme]

See all the looks from the Bally Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Alberta Ferretti

“To the point and classic Alberta.” [Cocteau Stone]

“I like how Alberta knows her brand and her clientele, and still manages to contribute a little something here and there to the fashion discourse, like the pink dress.” [ghostwriter10549]

“It’s all just so beautiful and so quintessential Alberta Ferretti, and I’m quite fond of the splashes of vivid bold color throughout the neutral collection.” [vogue28]

See all the looks from the Alberta Ferretti Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Diesel

“Diesel continues to be a standout each Milan Fashion Week season for how they are approaching show production and it’s what makes fashion exciting.” [jeremydante]

“The longer shapes with the fringe are a nice experiment.” [Cocteau Stone]

“I find it fantastic! It’s probably my favorite collection Glenn Martens did for Diesel. While Diesel is totally not my aesthetic, I think the collection was strong. It was well executed. Martens pushed everything to the max, it was tacky but with inventive ideas. It’s really fantastic!” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Diesel Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Ferragamo

“Sadly I don’t see any future here.” [helmutnotdead]

“I see Lemaire, Bottega and Dior by MGC but no Ferragamo. And I really don’t know who Maximilian Davis is creatively speaking. The POV is so weak that it feels non-existent.” [GivenchyAddict]

“This collection doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. I can’t see why a buyer would choose this when similar options are already out there. Honestly, your money would be better spent at Bottega Veneta or Loewe, where you’re getting more bang for the buck.” [GivenchyHomme]

See all the looks from the Ferragamo Spring 2025 collection.

Donatella Versace looked back to the Spring 1997 Versus collection, updating the prints from the collection this season, and presented within the historic grounds of the Sforzesco Castle. Inspired by Ballerinas, Maximilian Davis at Ferragamo delighted with fashion crowd with an assortment of cross-crossed cardigans, tights, bodysuits, or ribbon ballet shoes.

The post Watch: Part Two of the Highlights of Milan Fashion Week Spring 2025 appeared first on theFashionSpot.

In the eyes of ALL of us here at theFashionSpot, supermodels will always and forever a good idea. Whether it’s Linda Evangelista wonderfully reuniting with Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia or Naomi Campbell cropping up on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar – we will always approve. Therefore, you can imagine our absolute delight to see Claudia Schiffer turn up as Vogue Arabia’s September 2024 cover star. Manuel Arnaut shares our love for supermodels, having welcomed the likes of Cindy Crawford and Iman onto the Arabian fashion title in the past. This month, across a trio of collectable covers, Claudia takes to Kayt Jones’ photographic duo and is styled by Barbara Baumel in an array of tailored looks from Karl Lagerfeld, Nina Ricci and Sportmax.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Wasted potential. The fonts are enormously awful and distracting,” immediately critiqued lanvinray.

“They are okay. Just a bit weird with the positioning. I prefer the first cover,” shared oaklee91.

“Love the second cover, the first one does not say ‘cover’ to me,” Bertrando3 pointed out.

Kokobombon commented: “I actually prefer third cover over the others. The styling and posing works but none are great!”

“These covers… amateur hour! Poor Claudia,” sighed forum member thenewclassic.

WAVES wasn’t best impressed either. “I find all covers underwhelming, considering Vogue Arabia’s glamorous take on most of their cover subject. This kinda falls a wee flat,” they disapproved.

“It’s all just very stiff, which is such a shame because I love me some Claudia Schiffer and enjoy Vogue Arabia on the regular. I’m putting the blame on Kayt Jones, whose photography is just feels very flat and amateur. For me, the second cover with the Nina Ricci is the strongest,” voiced vogue28.

There’s always cause for huge celebration whenever a new fashion magazine is launched or relaunched. The year 2024 is looking bright for print, and in the past two months alone we’ve welcomed Vogue Adria onto the market and bared witness to the relaunch of ELLE Australia and now Nylon.

Following a 7-year hiatus from newsstands, the American publication that focuses on fashion and pop culture makes a grand return and is set to be released bi-annually. Lauren McCarthy celebrates Nylon‘s relaunch by welcoming Gwen Stefani as cover star, who first appeared on the magazine back in June/July 2000. Fast forward 24 years and Stefani is posing across two dynamic covers by two different photographers: Giel Domen and Kenneth van de Velde. Styled by Jan-Michael Quammie, the American singer-songwriter wears a mashup of pieces from Sportmax, Seks, Andreadamo and Piferi.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Admittedly I was never a one for Nylon but I’m extremely fond of that first closeup cover, which instantly commands you attention. Great relaunch covers,” applauded vogue28.

Also full of praise was Bertrando3: “I love it all, for me it works very well: hair, makeup, her presence and I love the colors too! Really good covers.”

“Classic Gwen. She looks amazing,” admired Alquimista.

Not everyone, however, was so forthcoming. “Well, it’s not the worst Allure cover I’ve seen. Where’s Nylon?” asked forum member KoV.

“Jennifer Lopez is that you? What in the world. Looks like ELLE or something else but not Nylon,” chimed in matheus_s.

“I was expecting something better,” Kimy Jo confessed.

That’s a wrap on MFW, with the undisputed king of Italian fashion that is Giorgio Armani rounding out the Milan Fashion Week schedule with a dreamy confection of whimsy and timeless silhouettes – sprinkled with a touch of romance. A wardrobe of winter florals, leaving us all here at theFashionSpot speechless in admiration.

Back on day one, it was Glenn Martens kick-starting the 5-day Milanese affair, with his fifth physical showcase as the creative force behind Diesel and experimented with a new and accessible show format. At Fendi, Kim Jones is wrapping up the Fendi woman for the Fall 2024 season in elegant tailoring. For a shot of color and extra warmth, Jones finished off the silhouette by adding extra layers of knitwear and cashmere. Utilitarianism done right. In an ode to metamorphosis, Fausto Puglisi ditched the signature animal prints in favor of a different kind of texture at Roberto Cavalli, opting for a marble-esque print this season. MFW staple Alberta Ferretti mixed leather and lace, fluffy winter coats with short skirts and chic tailoring with broad shoulders.

Timeless elegance reigned supreme at Ian Griffith’s Max Mara showcase, fabulous knitwear pieces in shades of grey were paraded down the runway by a stellar cast of top models including Natasha Poly and Yasmin Wijnaldum. Office attire with glimpses of the 50s were on full display at Prada, with co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons fusing together fashion with fragments of history. In a stunning tribute to a luminous nights sky, models walked the Emporio Armani finale with umbrellas as a light flurry of fake snow fell softly down on the runway – making for a truly unforgettable MFW moment.

Adrian Appiolaza made an extremely good impression on his first outing as Moschino’s creative director, having only had one whole month to work on the collection. On his second outing at the helm of Tom Ford, Peter Hawkings only further continued his vision of glamour and power. Models walked a marble runway wearing sleek tailored suits, hyper sexy dresses, big gold jewelry and killer heels. Matteo Tamburini’s debut at Tod’s saw the designer present an impeccable edited collection, true to the brand’s heritage. At Gucci, Sabato De Sarno essentially delivered part two of his Ancora vision, doubling down on the distinct shade of burgundy. Punk rock and the vamp aesthetics of the 80s were unveiled by Donatella at Versace, proving the iconic designer is wild at heart.

The Fall 2024 collection at Jil Sander featured pieces with crystal accents and an assortment of shaggy bags and shoes. Faithful to the brand’s DNA, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana presented a collection where black reigned supreme (with leopard print splashed throughout). Matthieu Blazy played with texture, shape and volume at Bottega Veneta and made the banal brilliant. Maximilian Davis’ latest for Ferragamo took inspo from the flapper girls of the 20s while it was all about pattern and play at Missoni.

How did such collections fare amongst theFashionSpot’s very own army of fashion critics, you ask? Scroll on further for the (many) hits and misses of Milan Fashion Week Fall 2024:

HIT | Missoni

“What a great way to combine colors, stripes and texture. everything worked perfectly! Loved the venue and the music too.” [prylvi]

“What a great collection! This is the energy Missoni needed! The overload of patterns and styling works perfectly! Well done!” [WAVES]

“Ooh this a fun and smart with a small side of pop art. It is refreshing to see a collection that looks like itself (exuding its energy and essence) while also being forward thinking and contemporary. I really like this. Bravo, Grazioli. Impressive.” [TerraVera]

HIT | Giorgio Armani

“The craftsmanship is exquisite.” [lowfive1715]

“At last someone capable of designing flattering trousers. They are exquisite, while looking effortless.” [yslforever]

“Exquisite. As per usual with Giorgio Armani, the fabrics look extremely luxurious, plush and expensive. The color palette, as always too, is fabulous. There’s a flow from one look to the next, it’s all just executed to perfection. Armani’s shades of pink are always ultra-fabulous.” [vogue28]

See all the looks from the Giorgio Armani Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Bottega Veneta

“I mean it’s gorgeous, sumptuous and in the moment. The woven knits are delicious and the best pieces in the collection.” [Nimsay]

“It’s such a beautiful collection, I’m impressed! I love how graphic the silhouettes are, even the sharpness of the shoulders makes sense for me here, especially in knitwear. I also feel like it’s less heavy on experimenting with fabrics, and maybe that’s why it feels less forced than Spring 2024. I love it, and this time, even the in-house styling is not problematic at all.” [perhydrol]

“Sublime! Haven’t enjoyed a collection this much in a very long time.” [Ruito]

See all the looks from the Bottega Veneta Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Tom Ford

“I love this, all that this beautiful brand needed was a bit of streamlining to take it‘s rightful place as the most aspiring mainstream luxury brand and that‘s what Peter Hawking‘s done here.” [tricotineacetat]

“Streamlined and sexy. Love!” [AnaD]

“It’s got that disco gloss to it without venturing into Eurotrash territory. It’s really done in a tasteful way and whether people want to accept it or not, this has become a classic silhouette that Tom Ford himself popularized.” [GoldenPetals]

MISS | Prada

“Prada used to be famous for ‘ugly chic’. Now it’s just ugly.” [Koibito]

“At this point the brand is dead to me. I have nothing but love for Miuccia, but I’m no longer interested in her work. It’s all become too obvious. Sales may be up, but at what cost?” [GivenchyHomme]

“This looks like luxe apocalypse fashion. Boring, dated, the whole tone and styling of the show seems weird. The intentionally awkward arm placement of the models. The cast looks like they were told to look miserable onstage.” [AnaD]

MISS | Gucci

“I’m crying… it’s just so cheap! The new low.” [Kanzai]

“It’s becoming increasingly clear that Kering wasn’t looking for a designer with a strong point of view (unlike Alessandro Michele) but just someone capable of making decent clothes for a large demographic so that they can sell them at an excessive price and that everything will be put into the marketing side.” [GivenchyAddict]

“When it was suggested that his designs need to be elevated, it wasn’t meant literally on a raised runway.” [Cocteau Stone]

MISS | Jil Sander

“Horrendous.” [Alquimista]

“Are women actually buying these frumpy clothes? Even the tailored pieces are unflattering. There is no reason for them to shift away from the DNA of the house. Minimalism is thought of as easy, but it’s actually more difficult because it involves an emphasis on tailoring.” [GivenchyHomme]

“The spirit of the brand is certainly missing. It all seems a bit too tortured and away from the body in unappealing ways.” [Norden]

HIT | Dolce & Gabbana

“This is a strong collection from Dolce & Gabbana solely because it is confident and extremely focused! There’s something that I will always appreciate about designers doing what they know they can do well.” [Lola701]

“Glad they found their way back to the much-needed sexy collections. No one does it better than them!” [tourbillions]

“YES, this is everything. It’s focused, direct, the mood is right and well made. They wanted to make a collection of tuxedos, jackets, coats, furs and that’s what they did. The sheer lingerie compliments them like a template of sexiness. Casting was great too!” [Alquimista]

MISS | Bally

“Those clothes are so weird. What a strange cut, ugly accessories and the whole bit is quite tragic. A waste of resources!” [Lola701]

“Undesirable.” [jeanclaude]

“I’m kind of repulsed by that olive green top with the flattened ruffle.” [Cocteau Stone]

See all the looks from the Bally Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Roberto Cavalli

“What happened. Their previous seasons were so tight and screamed Cavalli. This feels like Prada trying to be sexy.” [Nimsay]

“A massive step back. Looks like a nondescript collection from the early 2010s. The casting is all over the place, making the clothes look even worse because there’s no attitude to it.” [Cocteau Stone]

“Ugh, I hate it. I want trashy 2000s Cavalli back!” [Scotty]

HIT | Ferragamo

“Love it. The perfect cast. Great colors, good footwear and I am even starting to warm up to his oversize hug bag. All Maximilan Davis’ women are strong and sultry, but still full of grace.” [VERNIQUE]

“I can see myself going to a fancy dinner in the two full knitwear looks (the beige and the green one) with just a nice little bag and it’s perfect! I must say this about Maximillian: he has a nice eye for colors! He chooses the right shades. And the burgundy and red combination is kinda fantastic!” [Lola701]

“The colors in this are just absolutely gorgeous! He’s certainly started to wise up and become more intuitive with his skill set and what he needs to work on.” [Cocteau Stone]

See all the looks from the Ferragamo Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Marni

“What the hell is this? What happened to Marni? I want to like the coats and capes, but this is awful.” [TerraVera]

“I feel sick. This makes me sad.” [Not Plain Jane]

“Utter trash, all this needs to be put in a pile and doused in gasoline and burnt.” [disco54]

See all the looks from the Marni Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Versace

“Ever since the Michael Kors takeover, Versace has become so insanely cheap looking. It’s like a completely different brand from those Donatella glory days of the early 00’s.” [lookatme]

“The styling and overall tone of the collection feels confused to me, a little goth, a little sprinkle of punk, a little Chanel… there’s a lot.” [aracic]

“This brand is completely neutered. It can still smell hormones but it doesn’t know what to do with it. All sex appeal is lost. It’s just kind of sad.” [TianCouture]

See all the looks from the Versace Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Tod’s

“Great debut! Bravo! I haven’t loved a Tod’s collection that much since Alessandra Facchinetti left. I think this is good because it’s clever. Tod’s is not a fashion brand, it’s a leather goods maison. Here, he understood the assignment. The bags and shoes were very beautiful! Those bags are perfect! The clothes were down to earth, well designed and well styled. That’s a bit how I want Hermes to look.” [Lola701]

“Wonderful collection. I love how practical and elegant (also expensive) everything looks.” [thiago]

“This is by a mile the most pleasant surprise of the season. A very strong collection with variety of offerings and delicious accessories.” [TaylorBinque]

MISS | Blumarine

“Remember when Blumarine was fun?” [AnaD]

“Something about this all looks so dated. Would have passed for a collection from 2015 or 2016 but not cutting it for 2024 sweety darling.” [GERGIN]

“The result was exactly what I expected. Sad and depressing. Why they thought a designer who does quiet luxury could do Blumarine is beyond me.” [LadyJunon]

See all the looks from the Blumarine Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Emporio Armani

“Absolutely stunning. Bravo our master!” [Kanzai]

“I love seeing a master at work. The finale is stunning and I love seeing the cast look happy rowing their job. Fabulous show full of beautiful clothes!” [AnaD]

“The finale was breathtaking!” [Koibito]

See all the looks from the Emporio Armani Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Moschino

“Way better than I was expecting. I don’t know why but I LOVED the last look. Bravo Adrian!” [Alejandra Isami]

“That was a TERRIFIC collection! He really understood the spirit of Franco Moschino. It’s classic with a twist, the right dose of humor but also very serious in terms of cut and execution. He is a dressmaker. The dressmaking was kind of exceptional for Moschino. The references were there but it had his spirit. Once again there’s a coherence between the designer and the clothes.” [Lola701]

“Guys, let’s be realistic, the man had a month to put together a debut collection and I think he did a very good job. He knows the archive very well, to begin with. He gets the Moschino values more than Jeremy Scott ever did.” [bc collector]

See all the looks from the Moschino Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Sportmax

“I haven’t seen such a chaotic collection in a long time. Grazia Malagoli are so inconsistent.” [helmutnotdead]

“This is kind of hard to comprehend as a collection. Just way too many disparate ideas that have been chucked in a design blender and they just hoped for the best.” [Cocteau Stone]

“A disaster.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Sportmax Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Max Mara

“Luxe and chic! Making me anticipate redoing my fall/winter wardrobe Clean, straightforward design. I appreciate it.” [TerraVera]

“A quintessential Max Mara collection, and I have nothing but love for every single look. So clean, refined, elegant, sophisticated, luxurious – the list goes on and on. This whole entire collection was styled by Tonne Goodman perfectly. Goodman and Ian Griffiths are proving to be a match made in heaven!” [vogue28]

“Such a ‘simple’ show and such a great fashion moment. It was close to perfection and this casting will be hard to beat!” [Ihhbl]

See all the looks from the Max Mara Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Alberta Ferretti

“I can always count on Ferretti for beautiful clothes each season.” [LadyJunon]

“In love with those massive knits! Very good collection for separates and outerwear. Good use of color too, it’s nice to see some restraint. This may be one of the few times chartreuse doesn’t turn my stomach.” [AnaD]

“Gorgeous!” [Nimsay]

See all the looks from the Alberta Ferretti Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Fendi

“Such a depressing collection, possibly the worst Fendi collection in decades? Honestly, Kim Jones should get a lifetime ban from designing womenswear ever again.” [style_expert]

“The worst knitwear of the season and so many unflattering propositions in one collection is just too much.” [perhydrol]

“Remember when Fendi used to be actually luxurious? Why would anyone spend thousands of dollars on stuff that has no glamour or uniqueness?” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Fendi Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Del Core

“Oh I think this is fabulous. Feels very directional while remaining a bit effortless.” [TianCouture]

“I was a fan of Del Core’s since day one. I’m happy to see that he’s balancing out his offering with more daywear than he used to present at the beginning. I’m all for young designers who are out there with a serious proposition, real clothes, designed, cut and sewn clothes (not just styled). And worn by real models rather than the usual bunch of weirdos.” [bc collector]

“Beautiful collection! So minimal yet so sharp! Really love the draping here, it’s like I’m seeing fabric as portrayed in Michelangelo’s paintings. Chic!” [Ruito]

See all the looks from the Del Core Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Etro

“Sumptuous fabrics, lush textures, this was heavenly!” [Ruito]

“This is lovely! The color palette works so beautifully with the textiles. The prints and textures also looks very mature and expensive with the knitwear being my favorite part.” [dancv]

“Oh this is LUSH. It’s got that Colonial-era jazz lounge kinda glamor to it. There’s something very Chinoiserie about it. I love the details, like the fringes, ruffles, and tribal jewelry.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Etro Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | No.21

“This this what I like about Dell’Acqua: he’s a real clotheshorse, he does what he does with a very earnest approach and he’s not pretentious about it.” [bc collector]

“It’s a beautiful and solid collection. The knitwear and the cocktail dresses are kind of exceptional…” [Lola701]

“Fabulous fabulous collection.” [TianCouture]

See all the looks from the No.21 Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Diesel

“Always have a soft spot for his Diesel. I see some Gaultier-esque pieces here.” [Kanzai]

“Some looks are super exquisite and more elevated than what he usually offers. Like WOW!” [IloveDiorHomme]

“I like it much more than the past seasons! It’s a hit!” [Ihhbl]

By the time the fashion crowd descends on Milan, there’s always a real sense of the season coming to fruition. This season, Missoni celebrated a monumental 65 years in the business, 90s supermodels like Georgina Grenville made a surprise appearance at Salvatore Ferragamo and Shalom Harlow closed out the Versace show.

Miuccia Prada is officially back in full form with Prada‘s latest collection, Jeremy Scott is slowly becoming a bona fide forum favorite after his scribble-inspired Moschino collection (despite accusations of copying another designer’s designs) and the Max Mara show was sophistication personified, once again. Yet the sound of applause slowly turned into the sound of crickets as Dolce & Gabbana insisted on the same old “Viva Italia” aesthetic, Alberta Ferretti shamelessly knocked off Isabel Marant and we strongly suggest Donatella Versace not shy away from the original, sexy and straightforward Versace DNA ever again.

As the industry’s elite now flock to Paris, here are the hits and misses of the Milan Fashion Week Spring 2019 season, according to our brutally honest forum members.
