Giorgio Armani show unfolded in the breathtaking setting of the designer’s Tadao Ando fashion cathedral. The defocused silhouettes of bamboo palms, gently swaying in the breeze, were screened around the marble-effect runway, creating an atmosphere that transported attendees from the hustle of a Monday morning to the tranquility of a subtropical beachside cabana. The experience, enhanced by the fluting of exotic birdsong, was as close to a mini-vacation as a work appointment could get.
Guests reclined in padded beige director’s chairs, soaking in the serene ambiance that perfectly complemented the clothes on display. The show was a 92-look journey through variations of the classic Armani silhouette, unfolding in a gradual progression of tonal shades. The color palette transitioned smoothly from gray, beige, taupe, cream, and carbon to bronze, navy, and finally, an inky twilight blue.
Highlights of the Collection
Armani’s collection this season was a masterclass in blending comfort with sophistication. Highlights included:
- Cotton Double-Breasted Suits: These silvery gray suits, accessorized with ties, struck a balance between the structure of Monday morning formality and the ease of vacation attire. Their precise slouch and softness exemplified relaxed elegance.
- Neck Scarves and Collarless Jackets: Adding a touch of jauntiness, neck scarves paired with silky-sheened collarless work jackets created a harmonious look over full pleated pants and covered-lace suede derby shoes.
- Suede Blousons/Bombers: Reminiscent of Armani’s early 1970s collections, a taupe/bamboo suede blouson with floating button closures worn over a rib knit sweater, tucked into suspender-suspended five-pleat pants, stood out for its dreamy nostalgia.
- Monochrome Negative Prints: Palm tree and leaf prints on loose T-shirts, shirts, and pants added a visual intrigue, while a quartet of frond-printed technical silk looks in matte metallic tones offered a leisured yet utilitarian vibe.
The collection continued with knit jacquard and colored-in outline prints of palm leaves, further enhancing the botanical theme. As the sun metaphorically set on Armani’s show, the final looks featured perfectly proportioned collarless wrapped evening jackets and pants in a deep blue so dark it bordered on black, complemented by woven leather tassel-topped loafers.
Giorgio Armani, a maestro of fashion for nearly nine decades, took his bow flanked by Leo Dell’Orco, who shared the bow at Emporio, and Gianluca Dell’Orco, the head of the Giorgio Armani men’s style office. The show was not just a display of exquisite fashion but a testament to Armani’s enduring legacy and his impeccable ability to blend tradition with innovation.
The Giorgio Armani collection was a serene and sophisticated affair, perfectly encapsulating the designer’s vision of effortless elegance. From the setting to the clothes, every detail was meticulously crafted to transport the audience to a state of tranquil luxury.
