Shows for the select few
Altogether, the organisers have 60 events on the programme. This season’s Milan Fashion Week Men calendar, with its 53 labels, comprises “16 physical shows, 22 presentations, 18 digital shows and seven special events.” Due to the pandemic, the shows will welcome only a limited number of guests, up to 100, and most of the shows will also be streamed live online.
The gala evenings and special events programme too has been cut down to size, since many of the happenings initially planned have been cancelled. However, participants will still be able to attend a number of important events, such as the eighth edition of Fashion Film Festival Milano, the tribute exhibition for photographer Giovanni Gastel, and the exhibition dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Italian sportswear label C.P. Company
Finally, Louis Vuitton
