Silvana Armani, the niece of the late designer, unveiled a collection of soft yet elegant looks for the Giorgio Armani brand, in her first line conceived solely under her direction.
Presented on the final day of Milan Fashion Week, the collection, titled “New Horizons”, offers a fresh perspective on the Armani aesthetic, the press notes said.
The opening section featured more formal looks, including wide masculine-cut trousers and long coats in a palette ranging from grey to sage, with touches of crisp white.
The second part of the show shifted to eveningwear, featuring lightweight velvet dresses and tunics worn over trousers, dominated by burgundy and midnight-blue tones, with references to the East.
“A woman dressing women, thinking about practicality but also elegance”, Silvana Armani told a reporter on the sidelines of the show.
Silvana, who worked alongside Giorgio Armani for decades before his death in September, had already made her debut as creative lead for Armani Privé at the January couture shows in Paris.
In his Will, Armani instructed his heirs, including Silvana, to gradually sell or list the company for sale.
Models closed the show with a cover performed for the first time by Italian singer Mina, in a tribute to Giorgio Armani.
