The Milan Fashion Week 2024: The Best of EMPORIO ARMANI Fall Winter 2024-25

"As the lights went up at the Tadao Ando-designed Armani/Teatro, an enormous lighthouse was revealed, its spinning lamp drifting across the gathered crowd. Giorgio Armani – who made his Emporio Armani collection co-ed this season, showing a mix of men’s and womenswear – said that for this latest collection he had been thinking about the ‘impetuous’ sea in winter. As such, the designer noted a mood of adventure to the collection, an ode to ‘sailors, cabin boys, engineers and officers’ who take the high seas even at their most treacherous. As such, nautical hallmarks ran throughout, whether sailor hats or shirts, galosh-style gloves and boots, or cocooning, broad-shouldered navy overcoats (indeed, the strong shoulder ran throughout). A more sedate vision of ‘harbourside elegance’, meanwhile, provided opportunities for Mr Armani to indulge in the louche glamour for which he is known: the collection’s climax was a series of richly bejewelled or embroidered capes and tailoring. The ‘decorative flavour’ of these pieces, said Mr Armani, were inspired by the building layers of incrustations found on the underside of ships, here transformed in arresting style."
