Two important places in Giorgio Armani's world: Milan, the city of modernity and work, and Pantelleria, the Mediterranean Island on the border between Europe and Africa, a land of exotic charm and wild nature. This collection, the last Giorgio Armani worked on personally, is in some ways a testament to style and the close of a cycle, so that new ones may begin. It unfolds at the Pinacoteca Di Brera, in the heart of the neighbourhood where the designer always lived and worked, and extends its horizon to Pantelleria, a land of contrasts, volcanic rocks and dark fields surrounded by the endless blue of the sea. Everything appears fluid, light, as if ready to yield to the island's winds; everything conceived to seduce with energy, following Armani's idea of purity as harmony between garment and person. Fabrics flow with elegance and lines are elongated, in both tailoring and delicate, ethereal dresses. Colours tell stories of light, earth and sea, releasing intense vibrations that shift from organic neutrals to deep, nocturnal blues and precious, vibrant tones.
Each piece evokes profound feelings and indelible memories of a beauty that transforms the wardrobe into an experience of pure emotion with only the merest gesture. The timeless character of Armani's touch lies in this paradox: a powerful stylistic statement, expressed through weightless clothes, an airy elegance that remains unforgettable. To pay homage to his unique journey and memorable style, the show also features some of the models historically linked to Giorgio Armani, embodiments of his idea of woman.
