Overview

• The Spring/Summer 2026 presentation on Sept. 28 at Milan’s Pinacoteca di Brera served as a tribute and the last collection Giorgio Armani worked on.
• Models walked a lantern-lit courtyard beside an exhibition of roughly 120 archival looks, framing his work alongside Italian masterpieces.
• Cate Blanchett, Glenn Close, Richard Gere, Lauren Hutton, Anna Wintour, Samuel L. Jackson and Spike Lee were among the guests at the black‑tie event.
• The collection drew on Milan and Pantelleria, blending softly structured tailoring with fluid, red‑carpet gowns in neutral and Mediterranean tones.
• Armani died on Sept. 4 at 91; family and longtime collaborator Leo Dell’Orco are overseeing the house short term, while press reports say his will calls for a sale or public listing with preferred buyers named as LVMH, L’Oréal and EssilorLuxottica.
