Emporio Armani
It’s become a bit of a fashion week tradition: Mr. Armani’s grand entrance at the end of his shows, and last night at the Emporio Armani presentation, the applause roared as ever. The show kicked off with a sense of lightness, fluidity, and airiness- a gentle breeze that evoked the carefree spirit of summer. Radiant and weightless, the collection featured metallic touches and sheer fabrics. It centered the body, with flowing jackets that follow the natural contours, revealing hints of skin through crop tops and shorts, often covered by transparent fabrics with artistic patterns. The color palette ranged from warm beiges to vibrant blues and intense rose.

The Prada show flaunted a spectacular interplay between masculinity and femininity that’s hard to miss. The show kicked off by celebrating strong, impeccable tailoring- broad shoulder jackets, perfectly paired with micro shorts and comfortable flat shoes. On the other hand, the ethereal essence of the Prada woman was brought to life through enchanting dresses fashioned from billowing fabrics, evoking the spirit of the Roaring Twenties with flapper-style skirts adorned with delicate threads and dresses with clean lines. Some were bedazzled with crystals, while others had a sleek leather finish
