EMPORIO ARMANI FW25

The Emporio Armani line remains my favorite iteration of the brand, and the Fall/Winter 2025/26 collection perfectly illustrates why.

The show opened with modern yet practical winter sportswear, featuring vibrant colors that either highlighted or framed the functional elements of each garment. This dynamic start set the stage for what followed—a clear, compelling vision of the “new-gen” Armani man.

Firmly rooted in classic style, this evolving character is bold, forward-thinking, and unafraid to take stylistic risks while still prioritizing comfort and quality. Even trend-driven elements—leopard print, fur collars, velvety textures, and relaxed silhouettes—felt seamlessly integrated rather than forced.

Accessories in this collection were nothing short of a flex—so good, in fact, that it made me wonder: Why don’t Armani bags get more attention? Is there something I’m missing? No hate to fans of The Row, but before you drop $4K-$6K on a Margaux bag, maybe check out Armani’s offerings first.

Some of my favorite looks included an embroidered gold jacket (which I would have physically fought someone for), a gorgeous jacquard coat with a matching turtleneck, and of course, embellished velvet dinner jackets.

The final individual look—a simple yet dapper suit with an elongated jacket—felt like the rightful closer. Instead, the show ended with a couple’s look that, while not bad, felt somewhat out of place in the lineup.
