My First Fashion Week Experience: Milan, Street Style & Friendship Goals

Men's Fashion Week Milan ss26

This was my very first Fashion Week experience, and what an adventure it was. It was weird, wonderful, chaotic, lovely, fun, and incredibly interesting all at once.

Two years ago, I went to Paris with one of my best friends. By chance, it turned out to be Paris Fashion Week that weekend. We realized that meant some people in the city would be dressed to impress. That unexpected moment sparked something in me. I knew then: I wanted to be part of Fashion Week, not just as a visitor, but to capture street style photography during the shows.

Next on my list? Italy, specifically Milan Fashion Week. I'd never been to Milan before, but that became the goal. I told my friends, and Su, my dear friend and ultimate cheerleader in life, immediately said, “Let’s go!”

Five minutes later: “I found an Airbnb. When are we booking our tickets?”

Three months later, we flew to Milan with another amazing friend, Rosie. She took care of the invitations and showed me which shows to attend. Off we went!

Fun fact: Su and Rosie met for the very first time—at the airport.

From the laughter and good energy, to the delicious food, Italian drinks, and unforgettable conversations, this trip was everything I hoped for and more. It was a mix of fashion, friendship, travel, and unforgettable memories. I still look back on it with a huge smile.

Thank you, ladies, for joining me on a journey I once only dreamed of. We truly lived the moment—and I’m so grateful.

We are very blessed.
