The spring/summer 2022 catwalk show featured an
array of chiffon dresses, jumpsuits, light blazers and pyjama-like
suits in soft materials. Emporio Armani is seen as a more
youthful brand than the veteran designer's main Giorgio Armani
line.
For women, parka jackets were adorned with zips, trousers were
light and at times see-though, while chiffon tops were paired
with chiffon skirts or shorts.
Armani, 87, started the catwalk show in soft hues of camel,
grey, beige, pink that turned into bolder blues, greens and
reds. Eveningwear consisted of shimmering sequined gowns and
sparkling top and skirt outfits. Some designs had floral prints
and decorations.
"This season, the journey begins in an imaginary desert,
crossing its oasis and ending in vibrant colourways," show notes
said. "Everything blends together, quite freely."
For men, there were tailored blazers, tunic tops and pyjama
pants. Trousers also bore prints while Bermuda shorts were
matched with silky shirts.
In an interview with Women's Wear Daily, Armani said Emporio
Armani, whose logo is an eagle, had "very much evolved" over the
decades.
"(It has found) an expanded design offer and larger public.
Emporio Armani today is extremely varied, in accordance with the
times, which have changed," he said.
"Youth today is not a question of age, as much as a sensation, a
way of being. So Emporio continues to be a container brand, in
which everyone can find something. The spirit is free,
metropolitan and dynamic."
The designer will present his Giorgio Armani collection on
Saturday.
Milan Fashion Week, which is a mix of in-person shows and
digital presentations this season following a virtual edition in
February due to the COVID-19 pandemic, runs until Monday.
