Overview

• Armani was absent from his Paris Privé runway for the first time since 2005, marking a second consecutive missed major show following a June hospitalization.
• The Fall 2025 'Seductive Black' collection featured black velvet pantsuits, slender dresses, tailcoats, oversized bows and towering velvet heels.
• The monochrome lineup showcased varied textures from liquid velvet and lacquered silk to pavé crystal embellishments and flashes of gold.
• Operating from home on doctors’ advice, Armani directed fittings, model lineups and makeup through real-time video communications.
• As his couture line celebrates its 20th anniversary and Armani nears 91, his remote involvement highlights his enduring creative command at a leading independent fashion house.
