The international fashion month highlights a diverse array of styles, each city bringing its unique flair to the forefront. This year has seen New York champion contemporary designs amid celebrations of the city itself. London, on the other hand, showcased its inherent rebellious spirit through daring fashion statements. As Milan Fashion Week unfolds, attention has gravitated toward renowned heritage labels like Prada, Gucci, and Fendi, each embodying a bold approach to this season’s trends. A common theme? An abundance of sheer and daring designs.
Milan’s trend toward sheer styles has manifested in various expressive forms. Many designers opted for revealing silhouettes, using sheer materials as a central element. In contrast to last year’s prevalent braless looks often accompanied by thong-style underwear, this season has leaned toward a bit more coverage—featuring exposed full-coverage underwear reminiscent of classic “granny panties,” as exemplified by brands like Gucci and N°21.
In a more audacious display, labels such as Moschino and Prada embraced this season’s daring aesthetic. Notably, Prada sent models down the runway with sheer outfits, including bandeau bras adorned with strategically placed buttons designed to suggest a playful nod to nudity.
Alberta Ferretti
Alberta Ferretti’s runway was a vibrant showcase of chiffon pieces in bold colors, embracing the revival of the ’70s-inspired band girl look. These flowing, ruffled designs signal a trend toward nostalgic aesthetics that are likely to resonate in upcoming seasons.
Gucci
At Gucci, a collection of lace dresses that were completely transparent stood out, particularly one featuring intricate cutouts. While the brand has made waves with its G-string styles in recent years, this season subtly shifted focus toward more traditional, full-coverage underwear.
Fendi
Fendi made a statement by showcasing two of fashion’s most provocative focal points—nipple and toe—within a luxurious design. Inspired by 1920s fashion, the collection boasted elaborate beading set against sheer black textiles, with equally revealing footwear enhancing the risqué allure of the ensemble.
Prada
Prada has continued its exploration of sheer fashion, with several models confidently showcasing their nips. A standout piece featured a model in a bandeau bra that cleverly mimicked the appearance of being completely bare, hinting at the provocative nature of this season’s trends.
Etro
Etro’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection presented a rich blend of opulent patterns crafted from diverse materials. One noteworthy outfit included a transparent orange garment adorned with a leafy motif, layered under a chunky navy blue-and-white sweater knotted at the waist.
N°21
N°21 took a straightforward approach to sheer fashion, presenting a collection that included a diaphanous dress worn without a bra, complemented by visible undergarments, showcasing the playful side of the current trends.
Vivetta
Vivetta’s designs often drew inspiration from sleepwear, with several pieces resembling loungewear. One model stood out wearing a buttery yellow, long-sleeved button-down shirt accentuated with a lace-trimmed collar. The sheer fabric and absence of pants reinforced an aesthetic reminiscent of bedtime comfort.
Sportmax
In a bold move, Sportmax featured a completely transparent look, with the only opaque element being the model’s sunglasses. This design, despite its embossed details, showcased the unabashed trend towards sheer styling.
