From Dolce & Gabbana’s unforeseen debut enrolling Kim Kardashian to Jeremy Scott’s buoyant Moschino pool couture, this year’s Milan Fashion Week took precedent with pristine and refreshing approaches to heritage house codes shown through exclusively avant-garde luxe wear. So whether you sat engrossed in the live streams or were seated front and center next to Anna Wintour, this shows edition carved out space for industry leaders to rein habit and elaborate on their complex praxis of mastery while still spanning visual hallmarks. V exposes limited behind-the-scenes images from this year’s Milan Couture Week from heavyweights Ferragamo, Jil Sanders, and Versace.
