From participating fashion houses to star-studded front rows, here&rsquo;s what to expect at the most anticipated men&rsquo;s fashion week.

If 2025 was fashion&rsquo;s &ldquo;big reset&rdquo;, there&rsquo;s barely been time to catch your breath because come January, the menswear carousel spins again with A/W 2026 Men&rsquo;s Fashion Week. The tour kicks off in Florence at Pitti Uomo, the legendary twice-yearly trade fair where suits, sneakers, and everything in between collide. Then it&rsquo;s off to Milan for that signature Italian flair, before landing in Paris, which this season carries the bulk of the schedule and, of course, the drama.

Come Friday, 16 January, all roads lead to Milan. The Italian fashion capital is once again rolling out the runway for Milan Fashion Week Men&rsquo;s, and while this season&rsquo;s schedule may be lighter than Paris&rsquo;s, do not be fooled. A tight lineup often makes for sharper statements, and this one is primed to punch above its weight. First up, Prada. On Sunday afternoon, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons will unveil their latest men&rsquo;s collection, and if history has taught us anything, it&rsquo;s this: when Prada speaks, the rest of fashion listens. Often Prada shows are seen as the blueprint or tend to set the mood for the month of menswear ahead, and sometimes even longer.

Zegna, meanwhile, is shaking things up. Formerly the grand finale, the house now takes on opening duties, kicking off the week at 3PM (Milan time) on Friday. That same evening, Ralph Lauren makes a long-awaited return to the Milan runway, presenting a menswear show that is sure to draw a crowd, and a fair bit of nostalgia. Ferragamo is slowly creeping back into the men&rsquo;s fashion week after staging co-ed show for many years with a collection presentation. Paul Smith is also back in town after showing in Milan last season, joining a dependable roster of the city&rsquo;s heavy hitters: Dolce &amp; Gabbana Dsquared2, Tod&rsquo;s and Giorgio Armani. Armani&rsquo;s show is particular, carries added weight as it will be the first menswear presentation since the passing of the house&rsquo;s legendary founder last September. Check out the full schedule below.

Prada, as always, is shaping up to be the Met Gala of Milan Fashion Week with front rows packed with celebrities, style icons, and a few of the most influential names in entertainment. Expect familiar faces like the family; Win Metawin, Sana from TWICE, Byeon Woo Seok, Eric Chou, Louis Patridge, Riz Ahmed, Harris Dickinson, Enhyphen, Guan Xiaotong, and Li Xian to take their seats.

Dolce &amp; Gabbana, meanwhile, knows how to do drama. Last season, their front row was a masterclass in sex appeal, featuring Jung Haein, Theo James, Michele Morrone, Lucien Laviscount and Zane Philips. This season promises a smilier lineup, with a few fresh faces likely joining the ranks. Rumour has it we might finally see one or both of the stars from the viral Heated Rivalry series, Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, adding some extra heat to the mix.

Over at Tod&rsquo;s, Junwoo is expected to make his Milan return, while Mark Lee from NCT is set to bring star power to Ralph Lauren&rsquo;s runway.&nbsp;
