A woman from Milan, a man from Rome, and a woman from Calabria walk into a bar… well, not a bar, exactly, but the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. And that trio? Miuccia Prada, Alessandro Michele, and Donatella Versace, respectively.
The three legendary Italian designers weren’t the only fashion titans to find themselves as seatmates for Vogue World 2026: Milano—they were joined on their section of the front row by a who’s who of Italian style that also included Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Francesco Risso, and Maria Grazia Chiuri. (There was also a handful of honorary Italians thrown in for good measure: Demna, the artistic director of Gucci; Raf Simons, the co-creative director of Prada; Louise Trotter, creative director of Bottega Veneta; Maximilian Davis, creative director of Ferragamo; Meryll Rogge, creative director of Martin; and Pieter Mulier, who is currently beavering away on his first collection for Versace, to be revealed in February 2027.)
