Stars including Cate Blanchett, Glenn Close, and Richard Gere attended the Giorgio Armani spring/summer 2026 collection show in Milan on Sunday, which was the final collection from the late designer before his death.
Initially intended as a celebration of 50 years of the late designer's fashion house, the catwalk show turned into a tribute after his passing earlier this month at the age of 91.
The event took place at the Pinacoteca di Brera art gallery, showcasing more than 120 of Armani's creations.
Models who had walked for the designer over his remarkable five-decade career returned to display a mix of classic suits and dazzling dresses.
With a color palette inspired by nature, costumes reflected shades of earth and sea. The breathtaking display concluded with a glittering gown featuring an image of Armani's face.
Cate Blanchett emphasized the emotional gravity of the event, noting, This moment, this atmosphere speaks for itself. There's a lot of memories here tonight. She characterized Armani as a deeply human, talented individual during interviews.
The show represents not just a farewell to Giorgio Armani's work, but a celebration of the unforgettable imprint he leaves on the world of fashion.
