Emporio Armani was inspired by all things nautical for its FW 24/25 menswear show.
Called the “Atlantic” the collection was inspired by “the cold and impetuous winter sea, an ocean that connects continents, the ships cutting through it from ports and shipyards and the characters that populate them.”
Headwear played big in the collection, taking inspiration from the sailors, cabin boys, engineers and officers who work in the seafaring industry.
The collection as a whole was defined by clear silhouettes with broad, well-designed shoulders, anchored to the ground by lace-up high-sole boots.
Elsewhere in the collection, there were elegant long coats, abbreviated jackets, trousers with generous volumes and greatcoats for sea crossings.
There were sailor jackets in leather too, while a new uniform of dungarees and oversized rubbered shirts gave a nod to deckwork.
The palette of the collection is an ode to the sea too – featuring a mix of navy blue, steel grey, ice white and midnight black.
