"While most have come to visit the 750 brands on offer at the trade fair, there will be many excitedly anticipating the catwalk shows of the three guest designers invited to present their fall/winter 2026 collections. In the past few decades, the guest designer slot has been filled by design juggernauts, such as Giorgio Armani, Raf Simmons, and Vivienne Westwood, as well as contemporary cutting edge designers like Martine Rose, Grace Wales Bonner (of Wales Bonner), and Stephen Daley (of SS Daley)."
"He launched his eponymous label in 2015, and quickly gained traction for his unorthodox silhouettes that took inspiration from Jewish tailoring. He first debuted on the Paris Fashion Week Men's schedule in 2017, and then went on to win the Karl Lagerfeld Award at the 2019 LVMH Prize. Yesterday, Mayner showed his collection in the La Palazzina Reale (now home to the Architecture Society of Florence), his first in the Tuscan town as the main headline slot."
The trade fair hosts 750 brands and includes a high-profile guest-designer program presenting fall/winter 2026 catwalks. The guest-designer slot has historically showcased established and cutting-edge talents such as Giorgio Armani, Raf Simmons, Vivienne Westwood, Martine Rose, Grace Wales Bonner, and Stephen Daley. Observing the current guest designers provides insight into which designers and silhouettes may enter the mainstream. Hed Mayner, an Israeli-born designer trained at the Institut Français de la Mode, launched his label in 2015 and earned recognition for unorthodox silhouettes inspired by Jewish tailoring, winning the Karl Lagerfeld Award at the 2019 LVMH Prize.
