Armani closed Milan with a Mediterranean collection — and Silvana’s first Cruise
“There is enormous loyalty, but there is also a moving forward,” says Leo Dell’Orco. The silhouette got longer and narrower; the palette is white, sand and greys.
Giorgio Armani closed Milan Fashion Week with a summer menswear collection inspired by the Mediterranean, in earthy tones and lightweight natural fabrics.
Models sauntered through an arcaded courtyard in a historic downtown building wearing airy garments, including softly tailored trousers and safari jackets, often paired with large bags.
“There is enormous loyalty to the late Giorgio Armani, but there is also a moving forward,” Leo Dell’Orco, head of the men’s style office and chairman of the group, told journalists.
Dell’Orco said he had “lengthened and narrowed the silhouette” and used slightly longer jackets, with a cohesive palette spanning white, sand and shades of grey.
Alongside the menswear line-up, the show also unveiled the women’s Cruise collection — the first designed by Silvana Armani, Giorgio’s niece.
