Emporio Armani Spring 2027: Final Collection by Dell'Orco and Armani Before Dario Vitale

other · 2026-09-25

The Spring 2027 ready-to-wear collection from Emporio Armani, the final one curated by Leo Dell'Orco and Silvana Armani before Dario Vitale's succession, was unveiled in an unconventional manner at Armani/Teatro. Entitled "Traces of Time," the collection showcased a gradient of colors transitioning from white to black, with fabrics reflecting a sense of accumulation. Notable pieces included lightweight suits with peaked lapels, oversized trench coats, and a bomber jacket featuring stitching that mimicked tree rings. Designs showcased acid-washed trench and suit styles, felted-wool ikat, and denim adorned with treated salt crystals. The concluding piece was a black waistcoat embellished with bead-topped ridges, marking a significant transition for Emporio Armani.
