Emporio Armani Men's Spring/Summer 2023 Collection

Summer is defined by ligtness, in attitude and spirit. Lightness as immediacy and the sheer joy of living and dressing for the season: choosing clothes and accessories to throw on without too much thought.

This collection by Emporio, the brand that Giorgio Armani has always seen as a container of possibilities, resembles a wicker basket, full of surprises that will bring the holiday spirit to the city and give any holiday the appropriate fresh and composed feel. Shirts take centre stage, combined with soft trousers cut from the same fabric.

Jackets and tunics with a hint of uniform about them are as light as shirts too. The shapes barely touch the body, allowing it to breathe vital energy. Bold details - slits, vertical openings, cuts - reveal the skin, adding a note of vibrant entirely reveal the legs. Pleated trousers caress the figure, while deconstructed blazers reaffirm a cornerstone of Armani style, here in new jacquard models that bring carefree summer scenes to the tailoring, somewhere between gauguin and reggae parties in the shade of lush palm trees. Colours are lively and natural: the hues of a clear sky that fades from dazzling white light into the sky blue, sea blue and natural tones, before slinking into the black of the night. Woven hats with ironically exaggerated brims, and undulating rubber sabots seal the spirit of a summer in the city.

The show ends on a carefree note with a young model moving to the rhythm of reggae, further underlining the overall message.
