Overview
- The spring-summer 2026 presentation took place at Milan’s Pinacoteca di Brera alongside an exhibition displaying more than 120 of Armani’s pieces.
- Hollywood attendees included Glenn Close, Richard Gere, Cate Blanchett, Lauren Hutton, Spike Lee and Samuel L. Jackson at the evening show.
- The collection referenced Milan and the island of Pantelleria, mixing fluid tailoring and red‑carpet sparkle in neutrals, greens, blues and purples.
- In his will, Armani instructed heirs to sell the company to a major group or pursue an IPO; Premium Beauty News reported LVMH, L’Oréal and EssilorLuxottica as potential buyers.
- Silvana Armani and Leo Dell’Orco took a bow as designated successors as the tribute closed out Milan Fashion Week with a visit through the anniversary exhibit.
