Vittoria Ceretti might be one of the most in-demand runway models in the world, but in Milan, it’s her off-duty wardrobe that’s inspiring an entire generation of fashion insiders. Born in Brescia and raised on the international fashion circuit, Ceretti has become the quiet style muse for editors, stylists, and creative directors who are over logo-mania and looking for something sharper, cleaner, and more grown-up.
Her personal aesthetic (pared back, elegant, and consistently understated) has come to define a new vision of Italian minimalism. It’s not about throwback glamour or archival revival. Ceretti’s look leans toward effortless tailoring, sharp silhouettes, and a neutral palette that feels both directional and resolutely wearable.
From Catwalk to Corso Magenta
In Milan’s fashion quarters, whether it’s the discreet cafés of Corso Magenta or the inner sanctums of Porta Venezia, Ceretti’s style codes are being closely watched and widely adopted. She is often spotted in loose black trousers, slim tanks, oversized leather jackets, and subtle statement accessories: a razor-edge boot, a barely-there gold earring, or a Céline-era clutch worn like it’s been in rotation for a decade.
What makes her influence so potent isn’t trend-chasing, but refinement. She wears brands like The Row, Khaite, Bottega Veneta, and Alaïa, not in show looks, but in foundational pieces. A crisp white shirt, a severe blazer, a structured flat. It’s how she wears them that matters: sleeves pushed up, buttons left undone, heels swapped for loafers. It’s an attitude of quiet confidence, not performance.
Many local designers in Milan are responding to this shift, referencing her proportions and palette in new collections. Boutiques are stocking more greys, navies, and structured cottons. A recent window display at Loro Piana featured silhouettes that echoed her relaxed monochrome layers almost exactly.
The Influence of Understatement
Ceretti’s fashion week exits, more often than not in jeans and a tank with sunglasses and a low ponytail, are dissected as carefully as her runway turns. She’s rarely seen in prints or heavy branding. Her version of luxury is about fit, fabric, and posture. It’s Italian style with the volume turned down.
This restraint is resonating. In a city once defined by maximalism and rich visual cues, Ceretti’s look signals a broader pivot toward subtlety. Young professionals and veteran fashion buyers alike are dressing more like her: high-waisted trousers, clean knits, flat shoes, a single strong bag. Even the beauty copycats are multiplying: thick brows, bare skin, a matte lip if anything.
She’s not the loudest or most visible It-girl of the moment, and that’s precisely why her influence endures. Ceretti offers something rarer: a consistent point of view. She dresses like someone who doesn’t need to announce herself, and in Milan right now, that’s the new ideal.
