An international stage where sartorial excellence, boundless creativity, and a commitment to ethical luxury converge, celebrating beauty in all its forms.

With the authority she commands, Milan is preparing to host one of the most anticipated events on the international fashion scene: GX Fashion Week, which on September 25th, 2025, will ignite the city, the symbol of fashion, with creativity. The spectacular setting of I Chiostri di San Barnaba, located at via San Barnaba 48, will welcome the event—a Renaissance gem ready to transform into a theatre of experimentation and avant-garde vision. More than a runway show, this is a sensory experience celebrating international creativity: lines sculpted with sartorial precision, fabrics that tell stories, and details crafted with the mastery of true style jewels. GX Fashion Week will give voice to designers from all over the world, united by the desire to exalt elegance through meticulous attention to detail and a contemporary, cosmopolitan vision.

"It is precisely to Giorgio Armani, the timeless symbol of sobriety and grandeur, that this edition pays tribute, in the spirit of his immortal words: 'Elegance is not about being noticed, but about being remembered.' The event promises to be an immersive experience, a journey into the soul of glamour that transcends fashion to touch art, architecture, and emotion. International guests, style icons, and creative voices from the global fashion scene will gather in this Renaissance jewel to celebrate beauty in all its forms. This edition of GX Fashion Week seeks to honor Giorgio Armani, commemorating his career and the teachings he left on runways worldwide. Every moment on the runway will be dedicated to him, a celebratory tribute capable of evoking his unmistakable elegance and conveying once again the legacy of his creative genius. Milan, queen of contemporary style, welcomes this symphony of visions: GX Fashion Week has already become an event that shines through time."

This is stated by the organizer Gentiana Dervishi, now firmly established in the Milanese fashion scene thanks to the success of previous Fashion Weeks, which have consistently won acclaim from both the public and international critics. The runway will feature highly prestigious names as well as rising talents from the international creative scene: Umberto Michele Perrera with his brand Sartoria Perrera, a veteran of Italian fashion; Serbian designer Ðurđa Đukić with her maison Djurdja Djukic – Haute Couture; and the renowned La Griffe Academy from Tirana, presenting the talents of its young designers: Albano Pano, Renisa Lusha, Gold Woman by Estela Koni, Dorela Sinjari, Erisa Demo, and Mimoza Alla. From Japan arrives the acclaimed Sora Watanabe with her innovative brand Kimono Dress Concept. Completing the creative lineup, another prestigious Balkan academy, the Albanian Design Academy, will showcase promising designers Ezgi Özalan, Klarisa Vulaj, and Denisa Pace. A collective of refined excellence, with creations that will shine with an indescribable allure, yet on the runway will embody the unique concept of sophistication and beauty.

Alessia Xhafa will serve as Backstage Director, the true technical cornerstone of GX Fashion Week, ensuring the flawless execution of every detail behind the scenes. The event will be hosted by Alessio Marrari, blogger, communication expert, podcaster, and former radio host, whose voice transforms each runway into an emotional narrative, guiding the audience through elegance, creativity, and the magic of style.

An appointment that promises to merge history and modernity, art and fashion, tradition and innovation, offering the international audience an exclusive and unforgettable experience, immersed in the refined atmosphere of Milan’s historic center, among lights, fabrics, and details that will remain etched in the memory of anyone who cherishes fashion in all its nuances.
