At 90 years old, Giorgio Armani continues to surprise with his creativity, as seen in the Emporio Armani collection presented during Milan Fashion Week. Playing cards were a prominent theme in the collection, with sequined cards incorporated into bodices, belts, and jacket pockets. Heart-shaped tops peeked from jackets, belt buckles featured diamond shapes, and costume jewelry was designed as clubs and spades. For those seeking a bold look, an overcoat included all four suits.
The collection explored men’s fashion for women, showcasing three-piece suits and velvet outfits paired with matching ties or large neck bows. The trousers had a relaxed, loose fit with deep pockets, and shirt collars and cuffs were sometimes detached, creating a floating effect.
After the show, Armani took his traditional bow alongside his niece, Silvana Armani, who heads the womenswear design studio, signaling the future direction of his brand.
