On Sunday evening, Giorgio Armani’s niece and head of womenswear, Silvana Armani, and head of menswear, Leo Dell’Orco, closed Milan Fashion Week with a posthumous presentation of the late founder’s spring 2026 collection. Armani was more than a fashion icon: he was a beloved cultural figure whose influence extended far beyond the catwalk. That devotion was reflected in the lines that formed all week for two exhibitions marking his extraordinary half-century of style. Giorgio Armani Privé 2005-2025: 20 Years of Haute Couture at Armani/Silos offers an intimate look at gossamer red-carpet creations hand-embellished with shimmering paillettes, tracing the two decades since he entered fashion’s most exclusive club.
