Summary
With four new designers at important Milan brands, and a celebration of the late Giorgio Armani’s 50 year career, the generational change that has long been discussed finally arrived in Milan Fashion Week. Vogue Italia’s Head of Editorial Content Francesca Ragazzi joins Nicole Phelps to talk about the debuts and all the news from the week. They discuss Dario Vitale’s gutsy Versace debut, Demna’s coming out party at Gucci, Armani’s lasting legacy, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’s quest to keep us guessing, and a front-row cameo by none other than Miranda Priestly at Dolce & Gabbana. Ragazzi gets it exactly right when she says, “I found the whole week very cinematic.”

Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.
