And so to Milan, where a jam-packed week of shows begin Wednesday afternoon with a new collection from Alessandro Michele for Gucci, the onetime accessories designer hailed as the man with the Midas touch for his role in a turnaround of fortunes for the Italian luxury powerhouse owned by Kering.
The fashion elite has applauded his romantic, eclectic styles — as have customers, judging by the latest sales figures — so all eyes will be on Mr. Michele com e 2:30 p.m. to see what he delivers this time. After the blockbuster curtain raiser comes Fay at 3:30 p.m., then, an hour later, a parade of floaty femininity from Alberta Ferretti.
At 6:30 p.m., Fausto Puglisi, the flamboyant Italian with an unabashed love for kitschy Americana, will show his label's latest offerings (he also is creative director of Ungaro, but that show isn't until March 4 in Paris). Afterward, there should just be time to get to the Palazzo Morando for the Next Talents cocktail reception for new designers, hosted by Franca Sozzani, editor of Vogue Italia, and Federico Marchetti, chief executive of the Yoox Net-a-Porter Group.
Then, rounding off the day is Roberto Cavalli, in a new 8:30 p.m. time slot. Peter Dundas will show his second collection for the house, just days after it announced it would be opening its first store in Iran.
Correction: February 24, 2016An earlier version of this article misstated the location of Roberto Cavalli's new store. It is to be in Iran, not Milan.
