With just over a month to go, Milano Fashion & Jewels returns to Fiera Milano from 21 to 23 February 2026. The upcoming edition introduces new layers to the fair’s format, from the debut of Milano Love Seoul, spotlighting a curated selection of Korean brands, to the launch of Beyond, an exhibition cycle opening with Beyond Body, curated by Alba Cappellieri. Together, these additions point toward a season shaped by research and cross-cultural dialogue.
Milano Fashion & Jewels continues to operate as a space where jewellery, accessories and ready-to-wear meet without rigid boundaries. Creativity, production quality and business exchange move side by side, reflecting a fashion system that is increasingly fluid and interconnected. The fair’s structure allows brands to present full identities rather than isolated products, offering professionals a reading of fashion that feels closer to the realities of contemporary retail.
The 2026 season builds on ideas that have been taking shape over recent editions. Earlier in 2025, during the February fair, one of the most striking elements was the attention given to emerging talent. Through collaborations with design schools and institutions, younger projects were given meaningful visibility within the wider programme, creating a dialogue between new voices and more established names. That edition also highlighted experimentation through initiatives such as the Contemporary Upcycling project developed with IED.
When we returned again in September 2025, the international dimension of the fair became even more apparent. Italian heritage labels shared space with designers from across Europe, South America and South Korea, creating a varied landscape of materials, techniques and cultural references. Moving through the halls, contrasts unfolded naturally, encouraging discovery rather than a linear reading of trends.
These observations now feel like a useful backdrop for the upcoming February edition, which expands those conversations with new curatorial and geographic perspectives. Among the most anticipated additions for 2026 is Milano Love Seoul, a focused selection of Korean brands known for hybrid aesthetics, material research and strong visual identities. The project opens a window onto a creative scene that continues to influence global fashion, adding another layer to the fair’s international outlook.
A new conceptual dimension arrives with Beyond, an exhibition cycle opening with Beyond Body, curated by Alba Cappellieri. The exhibition explores the relationship between body and design through accessories and garments that move past conventional ideas of ornament. Expanded volumes, altered silhouettes and experimental forms offer a forward-looking reflection on how fashion language is evolving.
Alongside these highlights, Design Directions continues to translate macro trends into practical tools for brands and buyers, while Exploring Sustainable Fashion, curated by Guya Manzoni, keeps sustainability grounded in structure, craftsmanship and long-term value. Together, they reinforce the fair’s role as both a creative and strategic reference point.
From February 2026, Milano Fashion & Jewels will also become part of Fashion Link Milano, aligning with events such as TheOneMilano, Sì Sposaitalia Collezioni, Micam and Mipel. This shared calendar strengthens dialogue across sectors and positions the fair firmly within the wider fashion ecosystem.
As the next edition approaches, Milano Fashion & Jewels offers a clear snapshot of where accessories and everyday fashion are heading, while leaving space for new ideas to emerge. We’ll be back in Milan this February to follow the fair closely and share what unfolds on the ground, from the collections to the conversations shaping the season ahead.
