Bocci Milan Residency — WILLIAM FAN

The Bocci Milan Residency launched at Bocci’s Milan apartment as a short-term format inviting artists, designers, and writers to inhabit the space for focused exchange and select public moments.

The inaugural residency took place during AW26 Women’s Fashion Week, when Berlin-based designer WILLIAM FAN became the first resident. Selected looks from the AW26 collection RING THE BELL were presented in an intimate, appointment-based setting, marking the brand’s first presence at Milan Fashion Week.

The Milan apartment is accessed by ringing a bell and passing through a small garden before entering the space. This sequence echoes the entry ritual of the brand’s Berlin store and informed the presentation, translating aspects of its atmosphere into the Milan setting. Invited evening gatherings accompanied the installation, turning the apartment into a temporary setting for exchange between fashion, design, and the city.
