Giorgio Armani's 50-year legacy is being celebrated with a highly anticipated fall collection, which has brought back the label's signature style that defined the era of powerful, elegant dressing for women. The show, held at Armani's headquarters, featured updated takes on classic designs that exuded the same sophistication and refinement that made Armani a household name among Baby Boomer women.
The collection showcased a range of silhouettes, colors, and tailoring that epitomized the "low-key power dressing" that Sophia Loren once described, with models strutting down a long runway in trench coats with leather piping, soft elastic gathering, and brass military buttons. Armani's designs were a masterclass in understated luxury, with jackets taking center stage.
From collarless, patterned, and sparkling-embroidered numbers to sporty coats with padding and cross-stitch patterns... the collection offered a diverse range of styles that catered to different tastes and preferences. The show also featured loose and fluid trousers with harem styles, draping at the front, and sheer panels, "all of which were carefully paired with voluminous scarves," "chubby fur stoles.".. and other accessories that added a touch of glamour to the overall look.
