Leo Dell’Orco debuted his first Giorgio Armani menswear show in Milan, honoring the late designer’s legacy with a blend of classic and modern elements.

After the late designer's passing, Giorgio Armani's Fall/Winter 2026–2027 menswear show in Milan was the first to be solely creatively directed by Leo Dell'Orco. The presentation, which took place on January 19, 2026, introduced iridescent jewel tones and opulent fabrics while honoring Armani's legacy with soft tailoring, classic silhouettes, and vintage pieces like blouson bombers and belted trench coats. A modern change was indicated by a full finale walk and a star-studded front row that included Hudson Williams and Ricky Martin. Dell'Orco received a standing ovation after bowing in a double-breasted suit without a tie, and industry leaders commended the collection for striking a balance between tradition and fresh energy.
