Overview

• The 50th‑anniversary show at Milan’s Pinacoteca di Brera featured the last collection personally curated by Giorgio Armani.
• More than 120 men’s and women’s looks walked the courtyard runway, with historic models including Nadege, Daniela Peštová and Markus Vanderloo.
• Composer Ludovico Einaudi performed live on piano as lanterns lit the setting, creating a restrained, memorial tone.
• A solo final walk by the model Agnese prompted a prolonged standing ovation from roughly 700 guests in tribute to Armani.
• The collection linked Milan and Pantelleria as a stylistic testament that closed a creative cycle, while guests from Laura Mattarella to Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere, Spike Lee and Samuel L. Jackson reflected the event’s broad cultural reach.
