Heraldic Workshop from the Art Studio "Traditions of Times"

Where can you immerse yourself in a world of art, exquisite symbols, emblems, laconic monograms and graceful coats of arms, a world of fashion, history and tradition? That's right, fashion week. This applies to every fashion week, regardless of the city where it's held. Whether it's the famous four—Paris, New York, London, Milan—or future fashion capitals like Tokyo and Berlin. This time, the focus is on vibrant Milan, Italy, and its Milan Fashion Week, which took place from January 16th to 20th. On these crystal-cold January days, Milan breathes calmly and evenly. The Italian city hosted Milan Fashion Week Men's 2026, a time when there's certainly room for bustle, but not on the catwalk. There, calm confidence reigns. In a palazzo where the walls recall the whispers of centuries past, the silhouette of the coming autumn is born. During the show, a silent dialogue between fabric and time takes place. Wool learns softness, cashmere durability, and the lines of silhouettes hone their impeccable angles for the coming year. Designers offer collections as access codes to seasons, both current and yet to come. The code lies in the fold of perfectly tailored trousers, in the lapel of a coat that will drown out the autumn breeze.

Soon this tonality will be replaced by another, more elegant music, which will sound at the end of February and last until the beginning of March. When Milan, having thrown off its winter restraint, puts on something lighter, awaiting sunlight, warmth, and anticipation. Milan Fashion Week Women's will begin. Imagine a room where sewing machines recently hummed and artisans hand-embroidered fabric. Now it will give way to another space, filled with an exciting silence before the show. The first chord of music. And here they appear, collection after collection, with the names of the designers who worked on them and each drew their own inspiration. Flowing silk that seems to sing. Breathable velvet that plays with incredible shades under the spotlights. Each model in the couturier's collections tells a part of a shared story. One show is a story told in a short time. A story in which there are no words. Instead, the combinations of fabrics, silhouettes, and accessories speak. One by one, these stories from fashion houses form a seasonal romance, woven into the fabric of patterns, brand emblems or monograms, couturiers' names, and fashion house crests. Some are regular participants, primarily Italian brands such as Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, and Zegna, as well as many young designers. Also this year, for the first time in many years, Ralph Lauren presented his fall/winter 2026-27 men's collection in Milan. The week's program extends far beyond catwalk shows. The city will become a vibrant exhibition venue for presentations by leading menswear brands, including Ferragamo, Brunello Cucinelli, Tod's, Church's, Etro, Brioni, Stone Island, Bally, Canali, Kiton, K-Way, and Jacob Cohen. The final day, January 20, will be dominated by digital formats, showcasing collections online.

It all began long ago, in 1958, with a simple and brilliant idea. Fashion is an art, and the art of sewing is the art of making things for life. Italian fashion, with its heart in Milan, is more than just an industry. It's a long-honed art of living beautifully, where a superb cut is valued as much as demeanor, and luxury lies in the quality of the material. Here, silk remembers the warmth of a master's hands, and the shoulder line of a jacket carries the wisdom of entire dynasties of tailors. It's that very magic that transforms clothing into an extension of the soul, with a light, elusive sparkle of true craftsmanship. Today, looking at this endless, dazzling parade, you understand the main thing. Milan Fashion Week is not just about what to wear. It's about who you feel like. It's an opportunity to try on a different self: bolder, lighter, gentler, or more elegant. Or simply your own, dressed in the most beautiful shell possible. And until the last model disappears backstage and the spotlight dims, Milan experiences all seasons at once. Here, autumn is sewn, winter is anticipated, and the eternal spring of human imagination and long-awaited summer are celebrated. A fantasy that requires just one glance at a perfect fold to believe, if not in a fairy tale, then in the reality where dreams take shape.
