In his first runway offering since his big 90th birthday celebrations this past July, Mr Armani showed in his latest Spring/Summer 2025 collection for Emporio Armani that his creativity is endless. Starting the show with one of his biggest signatures, the soft suiting, the Italian designer decorated the timeless looks (this time in blue and seafoam green checked wool fabrics) with classic silver ties emblazoned with the house’s instantly recognisable logos. Following this opening, Mr Armani caught our attention with the sets in vibrant pinks – from a Chinese-inspired jacket in heavy silk paired with transparent billowy chiffon trousers, to a printed short suit adorned with chunky buttons and accessorised with a silky beanie. Towards the eveningwear portion of the offering, the designer let the shimmer take centre stage. A sleeveless paillette top was worn with the glistening trousers in pale purple, while a black dress in the same fabric (albeit in black) made a chic statement with a hat tied on the neck with an oversized string which doubled as a necklace.
