The Milan Fashion Week Men’s Calendar for Fall 2026 Is Here

The FW26 season takes place during a special moment for Milan and the Lombardy region, as it coincides with the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, which will take place between Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI) will release an Olympics campaign in line with MFW Men’s featuring items from the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, and highlighting the works of young brands on the calendar including Cascinelli, Ascend Beyond, Moarno, MTL Studio, Via Piave 33 and LVMH Prize 2023 winner Setchu. Setchu returns for its second show on the Milan schedule, following a runway debut at Pitti Uomo in January of this year.

Carlo Capasa, president of the Italian Chamber of Fashion, is doubling down on the city’s fashion future.

In a press conference on Wednesday, Capasa highlighted brand incubator Fondazione Sozzani, “the beating heart of the week”, founded by Carla Sozzani and Sara Maino Sozzani in 2016, which will once again present its Fashion Hub of young talents. Elsewhere, Capasa pointed to Domenico Orefice, Simon Cracker and Marcello Pipitone as some of the young talents to watch.

“Milan confirms its position as a central city for creative and men’s fashion, a place where identity, experimentation and industry continue to interact. At Milan Fashion Week, institutions, businesses, creativity, the production chain and distribution work together to strengthen the competitiveness of ‘Made in Italy’ on a global level,” Capasa said. “[We] continue to invest in the future, opening up concrete spaces for young brands and emerging talent, because the creative energy of the new generations is a fundamental lever for the growth and evolution of our system.”
