TRENDS
The mood echoed Armani’s 1980s peak: drop-shoulder blazers, roomy layering, calm color. Fabrics supplied much of the quiet drama: lustrous silk, glove-soft leather, waxed linen, open-weave knits, arranged in tonal ensembles that read monochrome from afar but mixed pattern and texture up close. Texture play carried through to shape. Nehru-collar jackets, tunics and a single kimono cut nodded to the designer’s travel memories without tipping into costume. Delicate metal pins caught the light, the lone ornament in an otherwise pared-down line-up. Accessories kept pace with suede carpet bags, soft-soled loafers and desert boots reprised from Emporio, while rope belts looped through easy trousers for a beachside hint. Every item prioritized movement and comfort over flourish, an ethos that felt like a personal note from a designer choosing rest yet still determined to set the tone. The collection closed Milan Fashion Week with quiet assurance, showing that Armani’s vocabulary of ease, precision and confidence remains fluent, even when its author watches from home. EC
