Set in the neoclassical grand halls of Palazzo Serbelloni, this September’s stage will showcase a diverse array of designer collections from around the world during Milan Fashion Week. Celebrating global culture and couture, the event is expected to unveil collections that transcend the boundaries of fashion. Here are some designers to keep an eye on.
Lara Dizeyee
Following her historic debut at Paris Fashion Week, Kurdish designer Lara Dizeyee is bringing her Milan Enchanted collection to Milan. A private show with 30 couture looks, each piece tells a story of identity and reawakening. The intimate showcase explores emotion and creativity through the designer’s blend of modernity and ancestral Kurdish elements. Joining forces with other Kurdish creatives like Al Azeez Jewellery, Hezhin Boutique, and Muna Darman, this powerful journey is not one to be missed.
Kyle Denman
Award-winning designer and artist Kyle Denman is taking a unique approach when it comes to his biblical 10-look collection. Coined with the name Judas Ate, Too, Denman explores the story of Jesus and Judas through a complex lens. Making fashion into prayer and protest, themes of forbidden affection and heartbreak transform the collection into something much more personal. Known for dressing legends like Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, fashion lovers are highly anticipating his debut in Milan.
Eva Rorandelli of Evaro Italia
Founded by Italian designer Eva Rorandelli, Evaro Italia returns to the runway with its Spring/Summer 2026: The Portofino Collection. Paying tribute to the beautiful Italian village, the collection is all about la dolce vita. With airy silks and a Mediterranean palette, each garment captures the timeless elegance of Italian summers.
Andrea Quezada, Diego Sebastian, and Sofia Rodriguez
This season at Fashion Week Studio, three visionary Mexican designers present the highly anticipated Mayáhuel. Andrea Quezada, Diego De León, and Sofía Rodríguez are bringing high fashion garments, luxury leather goods, and fine jewelry to the runway. Merging the roots of Mexican heritage with contemporary couture, this collection is making a statement. With support from San Miguel Shoes and the Tamaulipas government’s “Tamaulipas Seguro Te Enamora” campaign, tradition takes the spotlight.
Nonso Martins Obidike of 1981 Clothings
Founder of 1981 Clothings, Nigerian designer Nonso Martins Obidike brings The Traveller, a truly personal fashion collection. Combining the continents he’s called home: Africa, Asia, and Europe, make their appearance on every piece. With intricate handwoven textiles, crisp tailoring, and vibrant patterns, each garment taps into cross-cultural and self-expression.
Kely Velásquez
Created in 2012 by Kely Velásquez, Santísimas has since become a leader in Colombia’s lingerie revolution. Proudly woman-led, the brand has graced the runways of New York Fashion Week and major Latin platforms. Always handcrafted with luxury elements, including 24K gold-plated hardware, the designer promises to empower women at Milan Fashion Week.
Be sure to remember these talented designers and watch for what they bring to the table during Milan Fashion Week!
