Summer is almost here, and fashion’s busy season is just around the corner. Before we all head off on vacation, there’s a packed schedule of early summer fashion shows to look forward to.

After Louis Vuitton’s Resort 2026 show in the South of France this Thursday and Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Christian Dior spectacle in Rome next week, the men’s shows will begin at Pitti Uomo on June 17 and wrap up in Paris on June 29. Milan Fashion Week, as usual, falls in between—and the schedule for its Spring 2026 men’s collections has just been released. Here’s what you need to know.

Notably absent are Gucci and Fendi, two Milan Fashion Week regulars. Gucci’s new designer, Demna, is expected to debut his first collection during the ready-to-wear shows in September, with the brand presenting co-ed, studio-designed collections until then. After Alessandro Michele’s gender-fluid approach, Sabato De Sarno reintroduced separate men’s and women’s shows—whether Demna follows suit or keeps it co-ed (as he did at Balenciaga) remains to be seen. But since Gucci isn’t showing during men’s week, his Spring 2026 presentation will likely include both. Meanwhile, Fendi, under Silvia Venturini Fendi’s steady leadership, will stage another co-ed show in September following the success of its centennial celebration in February.

Other missing names include rising star Luca Magliano, JW Anderson (as Jonathan Anderson prepares for his Dior Men debut in Paris on June 27), and Zegna, which usually closes Milan Fashion Week. Instead, Alessandro Sartori will present Zegna’s Spring 2026 collection in Dubai on June 11—the brand’s first runway show outside Italy and an unofficial start to the men’s season. Giorgio Armani will take the closing slot in Milan on June 23.

With Federico Cina (a frequent opener) absent, the first show will be Satoshi Kuwata’s Setchu on June 20. Kuwata made his full runway debut as a Pitti Uomo guest last season. Saul Nash returns for his second Milan show on June 22, following his Fall 2025 presentation. Etro is also back with a men’s showcase on June 22 (Marco De Vincenzo shifted to co-ed shows for fall and standalone men’s presentations for spring last year). Bally, currently without a creative director after Simone Bellotti’s departure (he’s now at Jil Sander), will present a co-ed collection on—you guessed it—June 22. (Mark your calendars—it’s going to be a busy day!)

The musical chairs of fashion’s revolving door may be slowing down, but the men’s calendar has taken some hits, with several brands opting out this season. Since many newly appointed designers will debut in September, the future of men’s fashion—and fashion week—won’t fully take shape until 2026. Still, we’ll be keeping a close eye on it all.
