Kim Kardashian may have skipped the New York and London Fashion Week shows this season, but she arrived in Milan on the first day of the Italian city’s turn for presentations bright and early (wearing a brown PVC leather jumpsuit and Prada bralette, no less). It was just the beginning of what will surely be five days packed with star power. Take Fendi, for example—where Bella Hadid opened the runway wearing a sheer slipdress, fuzzy pink jacket, and pale green opera-length gloves. The look was one of many chiffon creations the artistic director of Fendi couture and womenswear Kim Jones showed on February 23. And until the 28th, heavy-hitting brands including Prada, Versace, and Giorgio Armani are scheduled to show in-person presentations. Follow along as the W editors track their favorite looks for fall 2022, right from the Milanese runway.
Gucci
Gucci has finally revealed its long-awaited Adidas collaboration. In a hot pink room filled with mirrors and bright lights, creative director Alessandro Michele put the collection, titled Exquisite Gucci, onto the runway on February 25. Although the fanfare at Exquisite was reminiscent of the Gucci Love Parade show that took over Hollywood Boulevard in November—Rihanna sat front row with boyfriend A$AP Rocky and her baby bump exposed—the fashion this time around was all-new.

Moschino
Jeremy Scott brought Beauty and the Beast to life for fall 2022 at Moschino, transforming models into everything from cabinets to rugs to harps. If they weren’t embodying an item, they were wearing them on their heads: “Hats” included urns, sheet music, lampshades, feather dusters, and even chairs.

Blumarine
Blumarine creative director Nicola Brognano looked to the iconic photographer Helmut Newton for inspiration for fall 2022, channeling his brooding, dark nature that he expressed through black and white portraits of the likes of David Bowie, Andy Warhol, and more.

Missoni
One thing about Missoni—the storied Italian brand will always put on a show. For fall 2022, that meant packing out an entire sports arena to show the feminine, chic, and American-inspired 1970s styles, all inflected with that special Missoni family touch.

Tod’s
Clean, classic, and focused on leatherware: Tod’s rarely strays, and always hits the mark. Here, Bella Hadid models an all-black look with a plunging V and maxi skirt—bag and belt not far from sight.

Fendi
Kim Jones didn’t have to travel far and wide to find a muse for fall 2022. He found one right inside the house of Fendi. Delfina Delettrez, with whom Jones works closely alongside Delettrez’s mother Silvia Venturini Fendi, one day wore her mom’s geometric Memphis-print blouse to the Rome-based offices one day, prompting Jones to dip into the archives for inspiration. He focused on Karl Lagerfeld’s era specifically, drawing from Fendi’s spring 1986 and fall 2000 lines.

Diesel
Don’t let Julia Fox’s appearance at Diesel’s fall 2022 Milan Fashion Week presentation take all the attention (although her eye makeup, done by Pat McGrath, was major). This was newly appointed creative director Glenn Martens’ first turn designing for the label, which showed a healthy mix of textures and prints mixed with the brand’s house codes: moto, moto, and more moto.
