Milan Fashion Week in Review (Hair trends)

Milan Fashion Week AW2026 explored contrast through restraint and character. While some houses

leaned into understated, controlled shapes, others embraced individuality and expressive styling.

Across the shows, hair balanced polish with imperfection, allowing natural movement and

personality to shape each look.

Prada

At Prada, hair was pulled into low, textured ponytails that felt intentionally undone. The lengths

were slightly dishevelled, with natural separation and irregular texture giving the hair a relaxed,

almost accidental felling. Rather than appearing overly styled, the ponytails suggested hair gathered

quickly by hand, maintaining softness and feeling deliberate.

Marni

Marni presented hair with a strong middle parting, creating a clear, graphic structure at the front

while keeping the lengths natural and fluid. The hair remained slim and controlled without feeling

forced, falling neatly behind the shoulders with a polished, healthy finish.

Gucci

Gucci embraced a wider spectrum of characters, allowing hair to shift between glamour and

rawness. Some looks featured large, glamorous blow-dries with volume and movement, while others

leaned into more dishevelled, natural textures that felt spontaneous and lived-in. The contrast

between these approaches created a sense of individuality across the cast.
