Emporio Armani unveiled its Autumn/Winter 2025/26 womenswear collection in Milan yesterday, continuing the house’s exploration of contrasts, blending formal precision with a free-spirited approach.
Fabrics included wool, silk jacquards and printed velvets. Meanwhile, the colour palette moved from sandy neutrals to dusty blues, punctuated by bold red and green shades before culminating in graphic black and white, with embroidery bringing luminosity to nocturnal black tones.
A key theme of the collection is the use of playing card motifs, which appear as intricate details, inlays and prints across sharp silhouettes. The designs trace the body with sculptural precision, reflecting the depth of textile research that underpins the collection.
Silhouettes maintain a dialogue between masculine and feminine. Soft trousers feature deep pockets, while jackets range from structured to relaxed styles. Coats envelop the body, short trapeze dresses feature oversized bows, and velvet cargo trousers pair with cropped bombers. Evening wear incorporates masculine elements, with collars and cuffs worn as necklaces and bracelets.
Accessories continue the theme, with studded flat shoes, ballet flats with buckles, and velvet bags in structured and relaxed shapes. Berets and belts worn as necklaces complete the collection’s daring approach to style.
