Overview

• The exhibition runs Sept. 24 through Jan. 11, 2026 at Milan’s Pinacoteca di Brera.
• Armani hesitated at first but ultimately helped curate the 129 looks, working on the project until his death on Sept. 4.
• The museum says this marks the first time fashion is part of its educational mission, positioning clothing as a cultural document.
• Garments are staged to echo rather than compete with the art, with pairings like Juliette Binoche’s lapis-blue gown near Bellini and Richard Gere’s American Gigolo suit among Bramante frescoes.
• As part of the 50th‑anniversary plans, the house will show the last collection he signed at Brera on Sunday and has confirmed the Mariu’ education initiative with Caritas.
