Snob Diaries is a personal roundup of seasonal Fashion Week events around the world, as told through the lens of our staff and close friends. Highsnobiety’s Fashion Director Sebastian Jean takes us through Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2023.
On the day of arrival, there is a knock on my hotel room door around 11 pm When I open the door, there is a courier standing in the hallway with a Prada shopping bag. It’s my invitation to the show that took place on Sunday. I found out later that the invitation, which was a plush pillow and pillowcase, would become a piece in the show in the form of a bomber jacket.
On day 1 of the shows, I’m wearing a matching set from private label Highsnobiety HS05. I posted an elevator mirror selfie to my Instagram story that starts a bunch of DMs about when it’s available.
Me and some new friends, Luigi and Luca from DUST magazine, carpooled for the week and got to the Gucci show an hour early. We decided to go to a local trattoria for a quick lunch. I get the vongole and it hits.
Later that night, I attended a cocktail party in Colmar and invited two model friends who are also in town, Kwadjo Asanten and Ahmad Cissé.
It’s finally Sunday and time for the Prada show. I’m wearing Prada from head to toe (of course). After the show, I head backstage and take some photos of the models. I also had a great conversation with one of Prada’s shoe designers about my shoes (Prada x Cass Hirst America’s Cup). Miuccia and Raf are also backstage with everyone celebrating the show.
On Monday, the last day of the shows, I attended Giorgio Armani and Zegna, which were incredible shows, a testament to Italy’s constitution in fashion history. I receive my last delivery at the hotel and say goodbye to my amazing driver, Marco. Until next time, Milan!
