Giorgio Armani's Final Collection: A Poignant Farewell
Fashion icon Giorgio Armani's final collection, 'Pantelleria, Milan', paid tribute to his beloved hometowns. The Spring/Summer 2026 collection marked his 50th anniversary and served as an emotional farewell, held at the Pinacoteca di Brera, where he lived and worked.
The collection, Armani's last before his passing, combined inspirations from Pantelleria and Milan. It featured soft, fluid tailoring, easy two-pieces, and enchanting evening gowns, all in a soothing palette of greens and blues. The closing look, a shimmering, long-sleeved gown embroidered with Armani's face, was modeled by his favorite, Agnese Zogla. The show, originally planned as a jubilee celebration, became a heartfelt tribute, choreographed by Armani himself. Industry heavyweights, including Lauren Hutton, Cate Blanchett, and Spike Lee, attended, paying respect to Armani's indelible impact on fashion.
