Giorgio Armani, the iconic Italian designer, wowed audiences with his latest Art Deco-meets-Asia collection at Armani Privé, receiving a well-deserved standing ovation. The couturier’s eponymous label continues to thrive, with such high demand that two runway shows were necessary to accommodate all of his esteemed clients. The VIP show was a star-studded affair, drawing in A-list celebrities like Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, and Alexander Skarsgard.
Armani’s mastery of tailoring was on full display with sleek jet black crepe pantsuits and exquisite tuxedos that left the audience captivated. From perfect peak-lapel blazers to eye-catching contrasting shawl collars and billowy harem pants, each piece showcased the designer’s attention to detail. Departing from his usual black box presentation, Armani opted for a bright and airy venue at the Petit Palais, allowing natural light to accentuate the beauty of his collection.
The evening looks drew inspiration from the East, featuring elegant kimonos, flowing capes, and intricate cheongsams crafted from swirling silk prints. Armani described this as a return to a “folk” element in his work, demonstrating his ability to constantly evolve and surprise despite his age of 85. With industry veterans and emerging talents alike praising his work, Armani’s status as one of the world’s finest tailors remains unchallenged.
Following the show, Armani wasted no time in getting back to work on his next pre-collection in Milan, underscoring his unwavering commitment to the fashion industry. Meanwhile, guests indulged in a sumptuous supper in the garden of the Petit Palais, featuring modernist Italian cuisine that perfectly complemented the renewed energy of the collection. Armani’s latest triumph at Armani Privé cements his legacy as a visionary in haute couture, maintaining his reputation as a fashion icon and innovator.
