TOThe Autumn Winter 2026/2027 fashion week also comes to an end. The Milan fashion week is, as always, sealed by the fashion show Giorgio Armani, which despite the unbridgeable lack of its King does not lose its elegance.
At the cost of dying. Mina’s voicewhich gives the maison the cover of the song by Fausto Leali, a preview of his new album, resonates at the end and excites the public and VIP guests, like Pilar Fogliati who has just arrived from Sanremo. The show, as per tradition at the closing of MFW, remains among the most anticipated. The sportswear brand Fila will also be the protagonist on Sunday 2 Marchwhich returns to its origins and focuses everything on the city of Milan.
Giorgio Armani:
Giorgio Armani 2026 fashion show, an elegant debut
Relaxed suits, sheath dresses and trousers that skim the floor. The casual chic is calibrated with precision: a single note of red at the waist, belt size, without further frills. The coats are long but without collars, the slightly curved blazers are worn over bon ton cardigans. AND an elegance that moves, becomes lighter, the one brought to the catwalk by Silvana Armani for Autumn Winter 2026 2027, the first totally solo collection at the helm of the maison’s women’s ready-to-wear after the death of Giorgio Armani last September.
The title of the collection, New horizonsit’s all already a program. A new dynamic beginning, which halves the weight and softens the shapes. The materials, from flannel to cashmere, from crêpe to velvets, come together in tactile and balanced combinations. The tailoring remains, but loses rigidity. The jackets are emptied of all padding, the coats and blousons envelop the body in large, unstructured volumes, the shirts peek out under casual pullovers.

Classic isn’t so classic anymore. Chenille effect jackets, leather trench coats, feather boleros rewrite the idea of outerwear. The theatrical elegance of the central exits turns towards the evening thanks to kimonos finely embroidered in lurex thread, a tribute to that Orient that has always been part of the vocabulary of the maison. Tunics on trousers, ruffled and embroidered surfaces evoke high peaks and mountain landscapes through three-dimensional workmanship and precious details.

New horizonsfrom colors to shapes. And Mina’s soundtrack
Surprisingly, the palette goes beyond black. In its place a strong, intense and persistent burgundy, the true chromatic thread of the collection, which accompanies the story until the evening. It alternates with smoky grays and anthracites, with clear whites that enhance its purity, with sage greens and midnight blues. Armanian greige leaves room for smoke and anthracite and is placed in contrast on wide white trousers. Midnight blue or purple red satin and velvet dialogue with long dresses grand soiree in the same materials.

In the front row, a premiere parterrefrom Margherita Buy to Vittoria Puccini, up to Pilar Fogliati, observes the evolution of a brand that does not betray its heritage but lightens it, treating it as living material to be explored and reinvented. The Armani woman is thus renewed, moving between memory and present with silent confidence.
To seal this new chapter, the soundtrack. Mina’s unmistakable voice with At the cost of dyingan unreleased song performed in homage to Giorgio Armani, cover of Fausto Leali’s 1967 piece and preview of the singer’s new album, given exclusively to the maison. A measured but decisive accompaniment, which closes the show in the spirit of an elegance that remains, even when your voice changes.
The Fila fashion show, homage to Milan. And the other protagonists of the last day of MFW
The Giorgio Armani Autumn Winter 2026/2027 fashion show was anticipated, on the morning of March 1st, by the Chinese Hui, who presented Her Threadsa contemporary rereading of Nü Gong between memory and female identity. Following is the other great protagonist of the last day of Milan Fashion Week: Linewhich for the occasion wanted to reiterate the very strong bond that binds the brand to the city. As? Bringing its inhabitants to the catwalk. The models parade briskly, like ordinary people, generations and lifestyles intertwining without making any noise. This is where Fila Milano was born, the vision of creative director Alistair Carr: an abstract but recognizable metropolis, metropolitan and at the same time profoundly Italian, made of measurement, precision and movement.

The collection translates this idea into a fluid wardrobe, designed to move through different moments, roles and speeds. Outerwear, sweaters, skirts and trousers interact with sportswear without openly declaring it: the performance is hidden in the details, materials and finishes.
The result is a calibrated balance between function and style, between memory and present. FILA Milano looks forward without severing its roots, and recounts an urban everyday life made up of intersections, overlaps and returns. Like the city, always the same and always different.
