&The third leg of fashion month unfolded in Milan with its signature mix of sensuality, glamour, and unapologetic flair. Italian powerhouses including Gucci, Prada, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, and Emporio Armani showcased their Spring/Summer 2026 collections with the grandeur only Milan can conjure. It wasn’t just the runways making statements... front rows were a spectacle of celebrities and influencers whose eyewear choices sketched the outline of next season’s trends.
From bold cat eyes to retro aviators and futuristic curves, sunglasses were more than accessories—they were declarations of personality and style. With New York setting an energetic start and London delivering heritage codes, Milan reaffirmed the power of eyewear in defining a fashion moment.
Gucci – "The Tiger" premiere
There was no show, but a premiere of the star-studded film The Tiger took place instead — featuring Demi Moore, Edward Norton, Elliot Page, Keke Palmer and more. During the film’s official screening we spotted:
Model Alex Consani, who also starred in the short film, wearing sunglasses from Gucci’s upcoming collection—arriving at Pretavoir in early 2026. Stay tuned!
Influencer Carodaur and American model Amelia Gray Hamlin twinned in dramatic Gucci GG1654S 010 aviators with detachable chains, fresh from our September drop and tipped to be next season’s must-have (kudos, Demna).
Yes, it is a womenswear fashion week happening in the end-of-September calendar, but it was the men attendants who brought joy with their shades:
