Giorgio Armani turns 91 this week – but it’s clear he still rules the runway
Even from his sofa in Milan, Giorgio Armani proved he’s still the boss of effortless elegance.
Tuning in via video link, he gave the green light on everything from make-up looks to the model line-up for his autumn/winter 2025/6 show.
“Even though I wasn’t in Paris, I oversaw every aspect of the show remotely,” he said. That’s dedication – and a reminder that you don’t get to 20 years of Armani Privé without a little (or a lot of) obsession.
This season, everything was dipped in Armani’s favourite colour: black. Not just any black, but luxe, velvety, light-catching black.
Sparkle came via sequins, crystal studs and delicate floral appliqués – just enough to catch the light but never overdo it.
The standout, in true Armani fashion, was the eveningwear. He once again showed that it doesn’t have to scream to be seen.
This wasn’t just a couture show; it was a masterclass in staying true to your vision.
Armani himself put it best: “If I’ve come this far, it’s thanks to the iron focus and obsessive attention with which I manage everything. And that hasn’t changed.”
After two decades of Privé and nearly 91 years of redefining elegance, Giorgio Armani is still showing the fashion world how it’s done.
