Paul Smith to show at Milan Men’s Fashion Week for the first time

British fashion designer Paul Smith has announced he will be showing his SS26 collection at Milan Men’s Fashion Week.

The show will take place at 5pm on 21 June 2025 at Paul Smith’s Milan showroom in front of buyers, press and other guests, as part of the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana calendar in what will be a Milan show debut for the designer.

Since the earliest days of the company, Paul Smith has enjoyed a deep connection to Italy and was once a mainstay exhibitor at the Pitti Uomo trade show in Florence with its various sub-brands.

Drawing inspiration from the innate style of the country’s residents, and "working with their expert craftspeople to create a superior product", Italy is a key part of the Paul Smith story.

Paul Smith, founder and designer of his eponymous brand, said: "For the first time ever, I’m delighted to be showing my new collection as a part of Milan Men’s Fashion Week in June.

"I’ve proudly had my own showroom in Milan for 22 years and have great affection for the city. I’ll be hosting a salon style show which I know will be intimate and honest to who we are."

Yesterday, 9 April, saw Paul Smith attend a state dinner in Rome hosted by Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinale Palace to celebrate the visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
