Check out the highlights from the second day of MFW.
The second day of Milan Fashion Week took place on Wednesday (September 18), featuring highlights such as Boss, Roberto Cavalli, and Etro. The spring/summer 2025 ready-to-wear runway shows in Milan will continue until next Monday (September 23).
Boss presented one of the most beautiful runway settings of the season. The show took place in a garden in the courtyard of the Palazzo del Senato, featuring a mirrored runway surrounded by grass.
Entitled “Out of Office,” Boss’s spring/summer 2025 ready-to-wear collection is less formal than previous ones, blending sportswear, casualwear, and tailoring in neutral tones. The womenswear line showcased high-hemmed pants, draped tops, wrap skirts, and shawl-inspired jackets, with fabric belts cinching the waist.
The menswear collection included three-button wool suits, looser trousers, unlined blazers, trench coats, and soft leather dusters. Ties were notably absent, replaced by small scarves.
Fausto Puglisi brought a taste of the ’90s runway shows with supermodels to the Roberto Cavalli Spring-Summer 2025 ready-to-wear show, the first since the brand’s founder passed away. The collection was inspired by Messina, the Sicilian city where Puglisi was born. The white looks drew inspiration from Messina’s houses, with strategic cutouts, buttons, and ropes referencing the sea.
Neutrals also made an appearance with fabrics and tailored pieces in faux snakeskin, while sunsets and waves adorned dresses and sets. The palette included white, gold, beige, black, brown, orange, purple, pink, green, blue, and red. The highlight of the show was a selection of seven evening dresses presented at the finale.
Etro closed the second day of Milan Fashion Week with a Mediterranean-inspired Spring-Summer 2025 ready-to-wear collection. The runway was decorated with agave plants, and Marco De Vincenzo’s creations featured black, white, blue, orange, purple, brown, burgundy, and green, along with sequins, crystal embroidery, slits, florals, and ruffles.
“The body is enhanced by the flow of the fabric, sculpted by tailoring, revealed by transparencies, and decorated by the symbolism of patterns and jewels that mark further paths and add other layers. It is the twists that define the movements and new ways of working with prints, hiding them to free them like sudden blooms, flashes, and illuminations. Flares, multicolored knits, and sumptuously psychedelic jacquards are part of the detour, levels of a composition in which chance and reason coexist, and the process is the product,” say the brand notes.
