Armani's final show a love letter in blue

- Jess Cartner-Morley

In a fitting twist of fate, the designer Giorgio Armani, who towered over Milanese fashion for half a century and controlled every stitch of his empire right up until his death, got to choreograph his catwalk memorial himself.

Armani spent his final months planning a celebration of 50 years of his brand with a show in the romantic cloistered courtyard of the Pinacoteca di Brera gallery in Milan, where an exhibition dedicated to him has just opened. “Save the date” notices for the show last night had gone out before his death this month.

The anniversary became an arrivederci. Armani's extravaganza went ahead, sadder but also grander and more spectacular than he had intended.
