Emporio Armani is known for its casual approach to striking Italian menswear — counterparting the luxurious and formal Giorgio Armani mainline. Emporio Armani came before the latter on the Milan Fashion Week schedule, galloping the rows of Armani/Teatro on a beaming Saturday evening. Emporio Armani’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection was a tender homage to equestrian lifestyles, picturing flocks of horses running through fields as the show commenced.
Over 80 looks were ushered down the runway ready for the race track, whether you’re mounting your own horse or observing others compete for the prize. Dapper Emporio Armani men were primed for competition in slouchy suits tied at the waist and matched with bulky riding boots narrowed for the course. Breezy knitwear was opened at the chest for increased ventilation, while pinstriped jumpsuits were guided to Italian summertime getaways.
Elsewhere, collarless military jackets received tonal checkered patterns injected with Armani luxury, while bedazzled tanks and punctured trousers oozed with a boho chic mentality. Then, as the lights dimmed to mark conclusion, bunches of lavender fields overwhelmed the theatre screens, scenting the air with aromatic florals as six co-ed pairs chatted and laughed their way along the runway. Shirtless fieldmen showcased their chiseled torsos beneath leather straps and miniature shorts, carrying lavender bouquets in woven handbags. Women were dramatized in 1920s-style dressing, featuring floral-printed dresses and slanted hats, walking hand-in-hand in tribute to alfresco togetherness.
