In pics: Highlights of Milan Fashion Week spring/summer 2023

Presented by Alessandro Michele, Gucci's Twinsburg collection celebrated the magic of twins. The brand decided to street cast 68 identical twins for their collection to send out a message on identity and show that "the same clothes emanate different qualities on seemingly identical bodies".

To describe his playful spring/summer 2023 show for Moschino at MFW, Jeremy Scott said, "You have to save space for joy." With his "Inflation Chick" collection, he created one of the rarest fashion moments in MFW history and came up with a collection that tickled everyone's funny bone. For the collection, the designer imbued his ladylike silhouettes with inflatable elements and the results are admirable, to say the least.

Donatella Versace has decided to go goth for the spring and we are in love! With supermodels like Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid, she showcased her super slinky little black dresses, corsets and tasselled leather drainpipes. American heiress and DJ Paris Hilton also arrived on the runway to play "dark gothic goddess" for the brand.

D&G's SS23 collection, designed in collaboration with Kim Kardashian, was dominated by black, white and silver looks which featured their signature lace, crystals and leopard print embellishments. As the models strutted down the runway, a black and white video of Kim eating spaghetti played in the background. At the end of the main show, Kim made an appearance on the runway in a glittering black gown with designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

Beate Karlsson’s debut AVAVAV showcase at the Milan Fashion Week saw models purposely falling and tripping on the runway. The unique collection was based on the theme of fashion’s fixation on status and money.⁠ And, we saw models flaunting blingy couture with dollar-sign embellishments, furry monster boots, oversized hoodies and jackets, and a colour palette that ranged from grey to lilac, with a range of pinks and neutrals.
