After a couple of months to cool off from the February women’s schedule, the men’s shows really do creep up on you. It was a good job, then, that we had a couple of London events to get us into the swing of things: Charles Jeffrey’s sonic exploration at Abbey Road Studios, and Martine Rose’s tribute to bustling markets in Marylebone. Now that those have been completed, we’ve found ourselves on the precipice of more menswear and couture catwalks, and with them comes a number of debuts, departures and returns to the official schedule. For all that and more, scroll down for everything you don’t want to miss from the next season of shows.

The prevailing narrative of this season’s Milan Fashion Week men’s is that there’s not much going on at Milan Fashion Week men’s.
