Men’s Fashion Week S/S 2026: what to expect

With the latest edition of Men’s Fashion Week just a few weeks away – the month-long event unfolds in mid-June with stops in Florence, Milan and Paris – provisional schedules for each of the cities have been released. Last month, it was revealed that Paul Smith will shift from Paris to Milan for an intimate ‘salon-style’ showcase celebrating his longstanding ties with Italy, while Homme Plissé Issey Miyake was announced as the guest of honour at Florentine menswear fair Pitti Uomo. Elsewhere, Italian house Zegna will take a pause from the official schedule this season, choosing instead to show in Dubai on June 11, marking the unofficial start of menswear month, and Jonathan Anderson will mark his much-anticipated debut at Dior Men.

Meanwhile, the British Fashion Council has announced the ‘strategic’ decision to call off the standalone London Fashion Week Men’s in June, with the February and September editions now co-ed. Instead, the BFC will support emerging menswear talent with an expanded London Show Rooms in Paris four times a year – including this June – giving designers a chance to showcase their S/S 2026 collections to buyers and stores.

‘By scaling back to more targeted programmes this June in London and Paris, we aim to create strong foundations to amplify the message of our brilliant British menswear businesses,’ said a spokesperson for the organisation. ‘We will continue to adapt and find ways to platform our brilliant British menswear business.’

Here, everything Wallpaper* knows about Men’s Fashion Week S/S 2026 so far.

Pitti Uomo S/S 2026 (17–20 June 2025)

Reflecting the shifted menswear schedule earlier this year, Pitti Uomo arrives a week later this season, taking place in Florence from 17–20 June 2025. As ever, the historic menswear fair – which takes over the 14th-century Fortezza da Basso twice a year – will invite a series of guest designers to show in locations across the city (previous guest designers have included Raf Simons, Grace Wales Bonner, Martine Rose and more). The first announcement was that Homme Plissé Issey Miyake will show its S/S 2026 collection in the city, part of an ongoing plan to take the brand on the road in upcoming seasons (its spot on the Paris schedule was replaced with IM Men, another offshoot of the Issey Miyake Design Studio, this past January).

‘Starting this year, the brand will travel around the world to present its clothing in places and at events where it has never been before, meeting local communities and connecting with a global creative scene,’ said the Homme Plissé Issey Miyake design team in a statement. ‘We feel grateful for this opportunity to be featured at one of the most celebrated menswear events around the world.’

The other two guest designers will be Post Archive Faction (PAF) and Niccolò Pasqualetti, both showing in locations across the city. The former is helmed by Korean designers Dongjoon Lim and Sookyo Jeong and known for its dynamic, experimental riffs on sportswear (including a cult collaboration with Swiss sneaker brand On), the latter is one of menswear’s rising stars, hailing from Tuscany (as such, the show marks something of a homecoming for Pasqualetti, who typically shows in Paris). ‘It means a lot to be invited to show at this season's Pitti Immagine Uomo, which for me has always stood for rigour in the making and meaning of clothes,’ he said. ‘Being from near Florence, I am especially thankful for this chance to return and present my work here.’

Milan Fashion Week Men’s S/S 2026 (20-24 June 2025)

Last month, it was announced that after recent showings at Pitti Uomo and Paris Fashion Week, British design legend Sir Paul Smith will show his S/S 2026 menswear collection in Milan. Celebrating the brand’s longstanding links with Italy, the designer promises an ‘intimate presentation’ at his showroom in the city. ‘For the first time ever, I’m delighted to be showing my new collection as a part of Milan Men’s Fashion Week in June,’ he said in a statement. ’I’ve proudly had my own showroom in Milan for 22 years and have great affection for the city. I’ll be hosting a salon-style show which I know will be intimate and honest to who we are.’

The rest of the schedule, released today (20 May 2025) comprises the usual usual line-up of Milanese mega-brands, including Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani, alongside eclectic additions – from Satoshi Kuwata’s on-the-rise label Setchu, which held its debut show at Pitti Uomo last season, to British designer Saul Nash, who will show on the afternoon of June 22 in his second Milanese outing. One notable absence is Zegna, which will instead show in Dubai on June 11 2025 in a one-off runway show in the city, while Gucci will also take a break with new creative director Demna presenting his initial vision for the house this September (a larger debut runway show is expected next February).

Paris Fashion Week Men’s S/S 2026 (24-29 June 2025)

Paris Fashion Week Men’s will conclude menswear month in typically blockbuster fashion, including the latest collection from Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton – previous shows during his tenure have taken place on Paris’ Pont Neuf and the grounds of UNESCO House, with star-studded guest lists to match the dramatic set-ups. His latest show will take place on the evening of 24 June at 7pm; earlier that day, at 5pm, Anthony Vaccarello will show his latest menswear collection for Saint Laurent in a shift of schedule (in recent seasons, Saint Laurent has shown at the end of the week).

Though it will be Dior which will provide the week’s most anticipated moment: the debut collection from Jonathan Anderson at Dior Men, a much-rumoured appointment which was confirmed by LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault last month. He will show at 2.30pm on June 27 – it’s one to mark on your calendar.

Elsewhere, there will be the usual outings from Rick Owens, Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garçons and Hermès, while Loewe looks set to pause its menswear show this June in favour of a debut for new creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez in September. As for who else will round out the schedule, American designer Willy Chavarria will continue to show in Paris, Wales Bonner will make its return to the schedule, and Jacquemus will close out the week at 5pm on June 29.
