EMPORIO ARMANI
This collection embodies the essence of summer as a state of mind, where thoughts feel weightless, and dressing becomes an expression of wanderlust. It’s a radiant, ethereal ensemble crafted from the lightest fabrics, adorned with subtle hints of metallic and iridescence, or woven delicately like an ephemeral veil. The focus is on the body itself: jackets gracefully mould to the bust, crop tops and shorts offer glimpses of skin through transparent fabrics, trousers embrace the silhouette, and flowing skirts sway with each step. The style exudes an effortless charm, paired with flat shoes, dainty hats, and stylish scarves. Bags range from spacious to minimalist, catering to both practicality and elegance.
The colour palette mirrors the journey of summer, starting with warm golden beiges and transitioning into deep black, then cooling down with silvers, chalks, and mineral greys. A burst of energy emerges with lapis lazuli and grape, punctuated by touches of chartreuse and culminating in a vibrant rose bloom. This collection captures the essence of summer’s lightness, akin to a gentle, ever-present breeze that effortlessly carries you away.

GIORGIO ARMANI
In this mesmerising season, everything pulsates with life, from colours to sensations and emotions. Vibrations become tangible as they traverse entire surfaces, creating undulating patterns and rippling textures. The chromatic spectrum expands to include shades of bronze and silver, illuminated by precious greens and purples, before culminating in a pure, evening-inspired white. The clothing collection designed for this dynamic oscillation is both fluid and elegant. Garments echo the body’s natural movements, featuring liquid jackets, tailored coats, and soft trousers that follow every curve. Footwear remains comfortably low, while generously proportioned bags mirror the undulating theme. Giorgio Armani’s vision, inherently consistent and ever-evolving, refracts like light through a prism, offering a fresh perspective while preserving the essence of the original vibrations that drive it all.
This season’s fashion narrative is a testament to the power of movement and transformation. Vibrations are not merely intangible sensations but become visible in the way fabrics undulate and colours shift and shimmer. The collection boasts a harmonious interplay of fluidity and sophistication, embracing the body’s graceful motions with liquid-like jackets, crisply tailored coats, and softly draped trousers. Footwear favours practicality with low heels, while generously-sized bags mimic the rhythmic patterns of this visual symphony. Giorgio Armani’s design philosophy remains coherent yet ever-evolving, much like a prism refracting light to reveal the ever-present vibrations that shape his creations.
