Models ⁠sauntered through an arcaded courtyard in a historic downtown ​building ​wearing airy garments, including softly tailored trousers and safari jackets, often paired ‌with ​large bags.

“There is enormous loyalty (to the late ‌Giorgio Armani) ⁠but there is also a ‌moving forward,” Leo Dell’Orco, head of the men’s style office and chairman of the group, told journalists on ​the sidelines of the event.

Dell’Orco said he had “lengthened and narrowed ​the silhouette” ‌and ​used slightly longer jackets, ‌with ‌a cohesive colour palette which spanned white, sand and shades of grey.

Alongside ⁠the menswear line-up, the show also unveiled the women’s ‌Cruise collection, ​the first designed by Silvana Armani, Giorgio’s niece.
