Giorgio Armani W26/27: Cangiante and the Art of Shifting Light

Professor Ivan Allegranti is a seasoned freelance journalist and academic…
Cangiante, synonymous with iridescence, describes something that remains itself while shifting with perspective, a metaphor that resonates naturally with Giorgio Armani’s evolving language. Leo Dell’Orco’s debut emerges from four decades alongside Armani, translating continuity into a personal vision. Colour leads the collection, discreet yet decisive, with accents of olive, amethyst, and lapis set against a restrained neutral palette. Silky velvets, crêpes, and chenille meet brushed cashmere, felted wool, and supple leather in fluid silhouettes. Soft volumes, textural contrasts, and quiet luminosity define an effortless, contemporary elegance.
