Milan Menswear Fashion Week Heads To The Slopes
Milan’s menswear fashion week began on Friday, with very wintry, sporty shows from Ralph Lauren and Dsquared2.
Ralph Lauren marked his return to Milan after a 24-year absence with symbols of American elegance, from formal suits and tweeds, toughened up with boots and cowboy boots, in front of celebrities including actors Liam Hemsworth and Tony Leung Ka-fai.
The American designer also looked ahead to the Winter Olympics that begin on February 6 in the Italian city, and where he is dressing the US team, with nods to winter in Aspen, featuring patterned jumpers and a blue ski suit cinched with turquoise.
Dsquared2 also presented for autumn-winter 2026-27 an army of holidaymakers shod in provocative footwear.
Puffer jackets cut like dresses and huge parkas topped with XXL fake fur hats completed the look of the “hot as ice” team, as one jumper had it.
Canadian actor Hudson Williams, star of the television series “Heated Rivalry” in which he plays a professional ice hockey player, opened the show for Dsquared2.
Armani’s sports brand EA7, Italian label K-Way and Chinese sports giant Li-Ning, sponsor of its national team, have also planned Alpine-themed events before the Milan-Cortina Winter Games.
Earlier on Friday, designer Alessandro Sartori invited buyers and journalists into Zegna’s personal wardrobe, with structured jackets paired with flowing trousers in natural green and terracotta, and innovative fabrics.
“He’s created a wardrobe that puts down roots in the past but looks to the future,” the head of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, Carlo Capasa, told AFP.
He called it an example of “the trend towards a return to basics, to craftsmanship, to tailoring” and a positive sign at a time when Italian fashion is in crisis.
In menswear, the turnover of Italian companies fell in 2025 by 2.1 percent year-on-year, to 11.2 billion euros ($13 billion), according to the employers’ federation Confindustria Moda.
Every category is down, apart from leather garments, in a sector that represents 19.3 per cent of Italy’s textile economy.
Exports, mainly to destinations such as France, Germany and the United States, have fallen two per cent while imports are up 2.8 per cent.
China is buying less, but the Italians are “working on new markets”, said Capasa.
“Welcome to Mercosur (the four Latin American countries with which the EU has recently secured a free trade deal), to the Middle East, which is growing, and also to the first Indian buyers,” he added.
The Giorgio Armani show is scheduled for Monday in its historic workshops in the heart of Milan’s fashion quarter.
Even though his partner and collaborator Leo Dell’Orco was already in charge of the menswear collections, this will be the first show without the supervision of the indefatigable founder, who died in September last year, aged 91.
Dell’Orco has indicated that there will be “continuity, with bright touches”.
“We allowed ourselves take a few liberties, we have looked again at sizes, some new colours, fabrics with changing shades, as symbols of a change, with the utmost respect,” he said in an interview with the Corriere della Sera on Friday.
Milan show regulars Prada and Dolce & Gabbana are scheduled over the weekend, while British designer Paul Smith is making a comeback after a first menswear show in June last year.

Israel DMW joins Davido to blast Sophia Momodu’s lawyer
Israel DMW, Davido’s aide, has joined him in lashing out at Sophia Momodu’s lawyer.
It was reported two days ago that Davido had reportedly lost his cool in court. Lawyer Maruf Muhammed, via Twitter, alleged that the singer was in court in Yaba, where he lost his cool during cross-examination and was creating chaos in the courtroom.
Davido explained that he never asked for full custody and asked for joint custody.
He announced that he had decided to drop the case and assured his daughter that she would grow up knowing he fought for her.
In a now-deleted Instagram story, he admonished the public to fear women who carry churches on their heads like Cross.
He noted how their minds are always deep and don’t care how one feels when they hurt them.
“Fear women, who carry churches on their heads like Cross. Their minds are always deep.
They don’t care how you feel when they’re about to hurt you.
Wicked and useless lawyer”.
Recall that in 2024, Davido filed a lawsuit, demanding joint custody of Imade as he claimed Sophia was denying him access to her and was extorting money from him, which she denied.
A week later, she had opposed his joint custody battle, citing the death of his son, among others, as reasons the singer is unfit to raise their daughter on his own.
Last year, Davido announced that he had finally reunited with his mini-me as he shared photos of him with Imade. The music star declared it the best day of his life.
The estranged lovers had reunited for the first time in 3 years for Imade’s 10th birthday party. The former couple were captured maintaining social distance as they pose for camera with their daughter.

“My ancestors and Chi are solidly behind me” – Judy Austin tells haters amid May Edochie’s trip to Jamaica
Nollywood actress Judy Austin has addressed her haters as her rival, May Edochie, vacations in Jamaica.
Taking to her Instagram page, Judy shared a throwback video from her birthday shoot, while referring to herself as the Most Beautiful Woman she knows.
Yul’s wife expressed gratitude for everything God has been doing for her, noting that she is living proof that God passes the devil.
The Asaba actress said her ancestors and Chi are solidly behind her, and she is too blessed.
“God’s Favourite
IJELE ISI MMILI JI OFOR
The Most Beautiful Woman I Know
A Grateful Heart
I’m so full of Gratitude
Thank you, Lord, for everything you’ve been doing for me
I’m living proof that God passes the devil
Nothing works against me and survives
God loves me too much!!!!!
My Ancestors and my Chi are solidly behind me
I’m too BLESSED
Most of you won’t understand, and that’s okay, too.
I’m just appreciating the handwork of God in my life.
How He constantly stands in the gap for me
Thank you, ABBA FATHER.
I’ll forever worship your name.
I want appreciating these beautiful ladies, my stylist and my makeup artist. @maytajraiments and @unis_glam for making my birthday so beautiful with their beautiful work”.
In a cryptic post, Austin, while addressing a manipulative person, said people can’t manipulate someone who isn’t desperate to be liked. Judy stated that God is intentional with her and expressed gratitude for everything.
Austin had issued a stern warning to an unnamed witch and her coven members for attacking her. Judy said her manipulation to gain pity is okay, but hiding behind that and consistently attacking her and her children with her fans was the other part that people don’t see.
After her birthday festivities, Austin declared herself different from the rest. She revealed that she was humbled enough to know that she isn’t better than anyone, yet wise enough to know she is different from the rest. She said there is nothing like living one’s life on one’s own terms.
Recall that Judy Austin became one of the most hated women in the world after her affair with Yul Edochie, who was at the time married to May Edochie, the mother of his four kids

Also sharing photos of them, Mercy noted how they’re still together.
“Odiwife. Still together.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Hubs”.
Last month, the famous couple had arrested TikTok content creator Eedie Bliss for sharing unconfirmed news about her family. Eedie said Mercy allegedly connived with her husband’s alleged pregnant mistress’s house help to cause her miscarriage.
Confirming her release on Instagram, Johnson said she withdrew the charges against her out of love and respect for numerous individuals. She begged netizens to leave her family alone, as she revealed how the headlines were affecting her family, especially her children.
Standing by his wife, Odi shared lovely photos of himself and his wife, stating that they’re rooted in grace and covered by God’s blessings.
Refreshing your memory, last year, a famous blogger alleged that Johnson was feuding with her husband’s pregnant side chick.
The blogger claimed that the politician forgot to cover his tracks, and Mercy, who was on his trail, found out and succeeded in getting to the side chick through her help, and the help helped her feed the side chick a concoction that aborted what would have been her stepchild.
In response, Johnson, via her Instagram page, shared loved-up photos of herself and her husband, revealing that she hadn’t slept because ‘no sleep for the wicked’.
Joining his wife to shut down the rumours, he shared a loved-up video of them from their daughter, Angel’s 10th birthday party.
