A star-studded audience applauded Silvana Armani’s first foray into fashion in Paris. The designer presented her first Armani Privé collection, which emphasized continuity with the DNA instilled by her uncle, Giorgio Armani. The Spring/Summer 2026 couture collection was characterized by a vision that was “coherent yet distinct, idealized yet concrete.” In the front row were actresses Kate Hudson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, and Diane Kruger, to name just a few.
The Orient and the Harmony of Jade
A love for the Orient, natural hues, luminous embellishments, the signature use of black, and meticulous attention to detail: the hallmarks of Armani haute couture are all present. They are interpreted with the brand’s signature elegance, expressed here in the delicate tones of jade—green, pink, and white—contrasting with touches of raven black. The stone chosen by Silvana Armani—the only female designer during this Paris Fashion Week—is synonymous with harmony, expressed through fluid, vertical silhouettes in satin and silk.
A structured and sensual elegance
The collection showcases menswear-inspired suits, tailored and unstructured jackets, as well as embroidered bustiers worn with men’s-style pants. The collection features column dresses enlivened by sophisticated cuts and draping—sometimes more sensual than the house’s tradition would suggest—long tunics that open to reveal precisely tailored pants, and sweaters adorned with exquisite fringe.
A Final Tribute to Giorgio Armani
Agnese Zogla, one of the founder’s favorite models, walked the runway to open and close the show. She wore the final wedding dress, the very last creation designed by Giorgio Armani.
