After exuberant iterations in New York, London, Paris, and Los Angeles, it was only right that Vogue World journeyed to Italy—and this fall, it’s doing just that.
Last November, Vogue Italia announced that the global fashion celebration would next take place in Milan, on the first day of Milan Fashion Week. Its overarching theme? Uplifting “craftsmanship and the human touch” in the age of technology.
“We are so excited that Milan will be the next city to host Vogue World in 2026,” Francesca Ragazzi, Vogue Italia’s head of editorial content, said in a statement. “This extraordinary event offers a unique opportunity to celebrate with a global audience the timeless story of Made in Italy, a story of genius and craftsmanship. It feels particularly meaningful to do so at this moment in time, in the era of artificial intelligence.”

On February 24, after a luncheon at Marchesi co-hosted by Prada and Vogue, Vogue World’s iconic next setting was announced at a press conference in Sala Alessi at Palazzo Marino.
That setting? Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the historic, glass-topped shopping arcade at the heart of the city, between La Scala and the Duomo. “Milan is one of the great European capitals of craftsmanship, where heritage and modernity meet, and where art, literature, opera and industry have long converged,” Anna Wintour, Condé Nast’s chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director, noted in a statement. “There could be no better place for Vogue World to honor everything that is extraordinary about this city than the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.”
What’s going to happen during Vogue World: Milano?
Over a series of thematic acts, Vogue World: Milano will survey and celebrate fashion’s ability to “preserve heritage, drive innovation, and shape the future.” From the brocade work of the Renaissance period to industrial wool, screen-based imagery to textiles, “a continuous dialogue between hand and machine” will emerge—with leading Italian fashion houses, master artisans, and international talent helping to tell that story.
