Giorgio Armani - Men's Fall Winter 2024-25 - Runway Show Selection

"Giorgio Armani’s Fall/Winter 2024 show started with a short visual of the namesake designer approaching the front door of his home and glaring through his peep hole at the audience. His watchful blue eye remained projected in the backdrop of the runway, while models began cascading down the somber walkway in next season’s silhouettes. Under Armani’s supervision, the collection was aptly titled, “The Look.”

There were 81 looks, to be exact. The line began with classic suiting ensembles: blazers layered over vests over fitted shirts, and buttoned jackets concealed patterned tops that were tucked into roomy trousers. Here, Armani reimagined his signature eureka suit in many forms — some employing finer textiles of herringbone, terry or jacquard birdseye and others depending on differing proportions to stand out.

Later on, the designer shared an appreciation for velvet. The soft textile encapsulated a plethora of looks, composing billowing overcoats, double-breasted blazers, fitted vests and thick trousers. Notably, there was a velvet three-piece suit that adopted an all-over lynx print, worn not with a shirt but with a cravat."
