Emporio Armani SS26

Emporio Armani presented its Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection with a refined vision of modern nomadism. The show drew from North African aesthetics and desert cultures, expressed through light, flowing silhouettes, handcrafted textures, and earthy tones.

The collection featured long tunics, wide-legged trousers, and soft tailoring in breathable fabrics like linen and crepe. Rich surface treatments—such as cold-dye finishes, smocking, mosaic patterns, and subtle beadwork—added depth to the pieces. Accessories like straw hats, tapestry bags, and artisanal necklaces brought a handcrafted, worldly feel to the runway.

A special segment introduced Emporio Armani’s EA7 line with tech-infused activewear inspired by desert environments—merging performance with the poetic. The color palette moved through sun-bleached neutrals, desert reds, mineral blues, and olive greens, reflecting both natural landscapes and cultural memory.

Though Giorgio Armani was not physically present at the show for the first time in the brand’s history, his creative direction remained palpable throughout. The collection was a meditation on elegance and cultural connection, delivered with the quiet confidence that defines the Emporio Armani identity.
