Giorgio Armani’s Legacy: The Last Emporio Armani Collection Unveiled

Milan was abuzz as the final Emporio Armani collection, curated by the late Giorgio Armani, graced the runway during Milan Fashion Week. This momentous event took place at a theater recently attended by over 15,000 people paying their last respects to the designer.

The essence of Armani resonated through the elegant tailoring, beautifully combining masculine and feminine elements. The collection featured distinctive touches such as kimono fastenings, raffia crochet caps, flat sandals, and soft leather booties.

The venue was meticulously designed, reflecting Armani’s expertise in precise tailoring, with soft fabrics hanging from the ceiling that evoked his mastery of fluidity.

Spring-Summer 2026: “Ritorni”

Titled “Ritorni,” which translates to “Returns,” the womenswear collection for Spring-Summer 2026 aimed to capture that fleeting moment between vacation and reality. According to the show notes, it represents that transition just before memories begin to fade.

As Armani’s models honored him with a tribute during their final walk, the attending fashion crowd reciprocated with applause, culminating in a poignant silence directed at the empty doorway where Armani would have made his final bow. The moment was truly moving, showcasing the profound impact he has left on the fashion world.

Armani, one of the most iconic figures in global fashion, passed away on September 4 at 91. In his last days, he designated his niece Silvana Armani and longtime collaborator Leo Dell’Orco as his successors for womenswear and menswear, respectively.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Giorgio Armani line, and in a fitting farewell, a special show will occur at the Brera Art Gallery. The exhibition will feature over 120 garments that Armani personally selected, open to the public until January 11.
