Organiser of Milan Fashion Week, Camera della Moda (CNMI) has increased the number of shows for this edition to 58 including three virtual presentations. CNMI has also extended the back-to-school catwalk program for the women's ready-to-wear collections for Spring/Summer 2025 by an additional day. Despite the absence of Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford, and MSGM this season, the event will welcome eight new designers, both returning and newcomers, compared to February's winter session.
Typically reserved for inauguration and a few other activities, the opening day on September 17will include four shows. The day will begin with a show by Fendi followed by other shows by Marni, Alberta Ferretti, and Iceberg, with the potential for another prestigious name to join the lineup.
This season, Giorgio Armani will organise a double show for his Emporio Armani range on September 19. Having parted ways with his creative director Peter Hawkings, Tom Ford will showcase his collection in a showroom.
One of the young designers to debut on the catwalk, Susan Fang will organise her show alongside Chiccomao, a brand founded by Chinese designer Mao Bao Bao, and Vietnamese designer Phan Dang Hoang. The event will also mark the return of Laura Biagiotti, who previously presented her collection in digital format, as well as young labels like Federico Cina, The Attico, and Andreadamo. The event will end with a digital show from Defaience by Nicola Bacchilega and Jacob Cohen on Sept 23, 2024
