A year after the death of Giorgio Armani, the fashion house he founded is continuing to evolve, as seen in its latest collection unveiled in Milan. The collection, titled Evolution, featured a mix of daytime and evening clothing, including sleek, flowing trousers and long dresses often paired with structured bodices. Silvana Armani, Giorgio’s niece and the head of women’s fashion for the brand, emphasized that the designs were intended to be practical for a wide audience. She incorporated cotton, a fabric her uncle was not fond of, but which she personally enjoys. The collection also included a re-creation of a formal double-breasted Communion suit Giorgio Armani wore as a child and a graphic jacket featuring his smiling face. As part of Giorgio Armani’s will, discussions are set to begin about selling a 15% stake in the company. Potential buyers include major luxury groups such as LVMH, L’Oréal, and EssilorLuxottica. The sale must happen within 18 months of Armani’s death, which occurred on September 4, 2025. Giuseppe Marsocci, the company’s chief executive, said there were no preferred buyers and that the stake could be split among all three companies. Talks are expected to start after the first anniversary of Armani’s death, though Marsocci did not confirm if they had already begun. He suggested that the idea that discussions were underway "may have some logic." The recent appointment of Dario Vitale as head of accessories for Giorgio Armani and creative director of Emporio Armani has sparked interest in the brand’s future direction. No date has been set for Vitale’s first runway show, and Marsocci hinted that his role could grow in the future. "From here into the future, you never know," Marsocci said, leaving open the possibility of further changes in leadership and creative direction.
