This season, Giorgio Armani took us on a rodeo. His Spring/Summer 2025 collection for Emporio Armani was peppered with references to horseback riding, from chunky suede boots with trousers tucked inside to leather harnesses and cowboy hats made of straw. The collection opened with an Armani summer staple – a parade of impeccably tailored and utterly light suits in the Italian designer’s favoured palette of grey and beige. And since Mr. Armani had horses on his mind, the signature looks were cinched at the bottom of the leg with zippers, exposing chocolate brown lace-up boots in all their glory. The offering then continued with incredibly desirable billowy silhouettes. Boiler suits with western pockets were paired with suede Mary-Janes. Double-layered vest with tassels was worn with roomy pleated trousers. Pistachio green suit jacket impressed with its extra-large lapels and elongated structure. The show closed with a section of looks in rich green and purple evoking the lavender fields of Provence, possibly revealing Mr. Armani’s upcoming holiday destination.
