GIORGIO ARMANI - FALL/WINTER 2026-27 MEN'S COLLECTION
Cangiante is synonymous with iridescent: an adjective to describe something that remains entirely itself, yet changes depending on your perspective. Whether it is an idea, a sign or a blend of colours makes no difference. The metaphor lends itself naturally to Giorgio Armani style today. Defined by a creative coherence that catches the light in ever new ways, it allows the eye to perceive something in constant transformation, while preserving its hallmark subtlety and a refreshing effortlessness. Leo Dell’Orco’s vision emerges naturally after forty years working alongside Giorgio Armani, and from a desire to make a personal mark on what stands as his debut. Colour comes to the fore in this collection: discreet yet decisive, luminous yet restrained. An accent that defines without overwhelming. Notes of olive green, amethyst purple and lapis blue stand out against a palette of greys, beiges, neutrals, blacks and deep blues. These tones are brought to life through silky, iridescent materials such as velvet, crêpe and chenille, blended with brushed cashmeres, felted wools and leathers with a rich, tactile, matt hand. Silhouettes are fluid, volumes relaxed: blousons, low-buttoned jackets, enveloping coats, shirts with or without collars, and wide trousers that fall over suede shoes and boots. Even winterwear is imbued with the same idea of easy elegance and velvety shimmer. Everything moves with the body, never constraining it. Soft and textural knitwear is an integral element, and includes a geometric jacquard cardigan, interpreted for both men and women, created in collaboration with Alanui. A distinctive harmony arises from contrasts between shine and matt, between what appears and what truly is: shearling with a velvet-like hand, silk that mimics denim. In the evening, even black is enlivened by refined nuances. Accessories include generous totes and crossbody bags, belts with graphic hardware, wide-brimmed hats and understated eyewear.
