The penumbra of the Armani Teatro served as a fitting backdrop for the dark, velvety charm of Giorgio Armani’s Fall Emporio collection. Elegant in the choice of smooth, shiny fabrics, it looked quite precious and rich, while in keeping with the label’s urban spirit. Faded-out jacquard patterns and decorative touches added an upscale vibe, which complemented the streamlined new silhouette.
Armani reworked the proportions of blazers and pants here with masterly ease. Jackets came with slightly more compact shoulders and were cut a touch shorter; paired with fluid pants cropped to expose the ankles, they looked updated and modern. The sporty vibe of the collection blended with more sophisticated notes, as in minimal bombers or city coats cut with sharp precision. A dark, dense palette of blacks, midnight blues, and muted grays added to the refined allure. It felt as if Armani wanted to set the bar higher for Emporio.
