Milan transformed once again into the world's fashion capital on Tuesday (Sept 17), with Spring/Summer 2025 women's shows rolling out amid a global slowdown in luxury apparel – and without longtime local icon Giorgio Armani.

A challenging environment for fashion won't stop the shows, however, which run through Sunday (Sept 22). The fashion week kicked off with Fendi.
