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.
