Emporio Armani leadership transition and new collections

Overview

Emporio Armani has unveiled its ‘Tracce del Tempo’ (Traces of Time) Spring/Summer 2027 collection at the Armani Teatro in Milan. The collection, presented via an evening presentation rather than a traditional runway, focuses on the theme of time and its effect on physical matter. Designers utilized specialized fabric treatments, including salt crystals, cold-acid treatments, and laser-cut velvet, to create textured, light, and soft silhouettes across materials such as linen, silk, viscose, and jersey.

This period marks a major leadership transition for the fashion house following the death of its founder last September. The collection is the final one designed by Silvana Armani and Leo Dell’Orco. As part of a significant organizational shift, Dario Vitale has been appointed creative director for both Emporio Armani and Giorgio Armani accessories, becoming the first designer outside of the Armani family to lead the brand’s creative efforts.

Additionally, Silvana Armani presented the Giorgio Armani Spring 2027 collection, which emphasized structured tailoring in black, ivory, and gold tones, maintaining the brand’s characteristic ease through defined construction and firmer shoulders.
