Milan Fashion Week opened Wednesday, kicking off six days of shows by the top names in Italian fashion with expectations high for the debut by Gucci's new creative director.
Almost 70 catwalk shows are scheduled in the northern Italian city, with Fendi, Prada, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Bottega Veneta and Giorgio Armani among those showing their women's spring-summer 2024 collections.
The hottest ticket in town is Friday's Gucci show, the first under new artistic director Sabato De Sarno.
The Italian, who previously supervised the men's and women's collections at Valentino, was named in January to replace star designer Alessandro Michele.
The legendary brand, owned by French luxury group Kering, has also seen the departure of long-time chief executive Marco Bizzarri this year as it grapples with stagnating sales.
