Emporio Armani - Fall Winter 2024 - 25 - Runway Show Selection

"The most enchanting part of this Emporio Armani show came just before the lights went down. Its final 12 or so looks, presented on models walking solo or in pairs, were shown under a light flurry of fake snow that fell softly from a gantry above. The models twirled their umbrellas through this runway weather event in glinting crystal or pin adorned shirting and blouses over mixed-length black organza skirts, or sometimes in grid-embellished dresses whose pattern echoed the pattern of the runway itself. The final trio of looks in this finale nocturne involved a top fashioned from mirrored star and crescent moon shaped panels loosely attached to a wide chain trellis worn above loose black velvet trousers, and two black velvet suits and matching berets set with more shining lunar arcs. After those final two waxing moon suits passed the photographers, Giorgio Armani came out to take his bow for this last Emporio womenswear show of his ninth decade."
