Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2022: Dolce & Gabbana and Diesel Lead Digital Presentations

Milan Fashion Week's Spring/Summer 2022 men's presentations were held entirely digitally due to the ongoing pandemic, with no international buyers or press in attendance. Many brands embraced nature-themed, sustainability-conscious messaging, but Dolce & Gabbana stood out by ignoring green themes entirely, staging a spectacular runway show at the Metropolitan venue in Milan. The brand presented over 100 looks featuring impeccable tailoring, Swarovski crystals, and luxurious psychedelic prints, with a diverse casting of models. Diesel, under new artistic director Glenn Martens, debuted its collection with a focus on sustainability: Martens implemented a certified Denim Library capsule covering 40% of the new offer, with certified washes and raw cotton. The collection included denim clichés, recycled paper coats, and utility skirts, blending eco-consciousness with Diesel's sexy, well-constructed denim tradition. Prada and Fendi also presented notable collections, while the overall mood was described as 'consciously green.'
