Armani Exchange links to electronic music through a new partnership with Amnesia in Ibiza
Giorgio Armani 's street chic collection Armani Exchange has tightened its links to the music scene via a two-month partnership with Amnesia, the Ibiza nightclub that is the temple of electronic music.
The musical partnership debuted on May 10 in the world-famous club, as the collaboration officially kicked off the Mediterranean island's summer season.
Going forward, every Sunday throughout June and July, Armani Exchange will offer an immersive experience into its universe in Amnesia, which has a 5,000 people capacity. Set against the backdrop of one of the most iconic Spanish nightclubs which attracts visitors from all over the world, these nights will highlight the Italian brand's core values of community and inclusivity.
This collaboration is a natural extension of Armani Exchange's long-standing partnering with the most high-profile electronic music events globally. After participating in festivals such as DGTL Amsterdam or Glitch Festival in 2024, Armani Exchange is now joining forces with Amnesia during their renowned 'Pyramid Ibiza' nights, the Amnesia format that has become a staple in the electronic music scene.
To mark the brand's presence in the 5,000-capacity nightclub, Armani Exchange plans on bringing a distinct style and energy to the dancefloor. Billboards and projections will showcase its visual identity, rooted in fun and freedom.
The first edition of this alliance already made an impression with major artists such as Seth Troxler, Adam Beyer, and Luciano present. The upcoming Sundays are just as highly anticipated, featuring celebrated underground DJs like Ricardo Villalobos, Nina Kraviz, Richie Hawton and Chris Stussy – ensuring this partnership continues to resonate within the music scene.

Jonathan Anderson set for Dior debut at Paris Fashion Week
Following a flurry of artistic director changes, the spring-summer 2026 menswear season reflects the industry's instability: Milan scaled back its programme and London pulled out entirely. But Paris is doubling down with a packed edition. "The calendar is quite dense and there's a very good balance between creativity, business, independent labels, large groups and new talent," Alice Feillard, men's buying director at Galeries Lafayette, the landmark Paris department store, told AFP. Around 70 labels are set to showcase their collections through 30 presentations and 40 runway shows between June 24 and 29. The most eagerly awaited show is Dior Homme on Friday, marking the debut of Northern Irish designer Anderson, who was appointed head of Dior womenswear in early June just weeks after joining Dior Homme, replacing Maria Grazia Chiuri. He becomes the first designer since Christian Dior to oversee both the men's and women's lines as well as haute couture at the flagship house, part of the LVMH group. Following the appointment of Franco-Belgian Matthieu Blazy at Chanel last December, Anderson's move is one of the most notable shake-ups in recent fashion industry reshuffles. The 40-year-old is widely seen as a fashion prodigy, having transformed the storied Spanish house Loewe into a global powerhouse. But Loewe will be one of the major absentees from Fashion Week, pending the debut of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, appointed to succeed Anderson. Also drawing attention will be Julian Klausner's first menswear show for Dries Van Noten, set for Wednesday. Appointed in December to succeed the founder Dries Van Noten, who retired last year, the Belgian designer had already made an impression in March with his first women's collection. Saint Laurent returns Another highlight is the return of Saint Laurent, which last took part in Men's Fashion Week in Paris in January 2023. Anthony Vaccarello's new collection will be revealed Tuesday, just hours before Pharrell Williams presents his latest designs for Louis Vuitton. Historic houses such as Hermes, Kenzo and Issey Miyake will also feature, alongside AMI, Comme des Garcons, Egonlab, Rick Owens and Willy Chavarria, who is returning after his first Paris show in January. Also noteworthy are the returns of British designers Wales Bonner and Craig Green, and the Paris debut of rising Indian label Kartik Research. Jacquemus, which made a comeback in January, will close the week with the final show. Men's Fashion Week will be followed by Haute Couture Week from July 7 to 10, also marked by major artistic leadership changes. Dior will not participate because Anderson preferred to unveil his first couture collection in January 2026. Jean Paul Gaultier will also be absent, with its new creative director, Duran Lantink, set to debut at the women's fashion week in October. Balenciaga will present the designer Demna's final collection before his departure for Gucci, while Glenn Martens will make his debut at Maison Margiela. Elsewhere, American designer Michael Rider will reveal his first Celine collection on July 6 in a co-ed show.

Giorgio Armani, convalescing, will absent from men's shows in Milan
Italian designer Giorgio Armani, "currently convalescing at home", will be absent from his two shows at Milan Fashion Week presenting the men's collections for spring-summer 2026, his fashion house announced on Friday. The 90-year-old designer will therefore not be present at the Emporio Armani show scheduled for Saturday and the Giorgio Armani show scheduled for Monday. "In his absence, Leo Dell 'Orco, head of design for the men's collections, will greet the public at the end of the shows," the house said in a statement. Even in his absence, Giorgio Armani, who "has worked with his usual commitment on the collections to be presented", "will closely follow every step of the shows", it stressed. An empire-builder in the luxury goods industry, "il re Giorgio" ("King Giorgio") is a visionary designer who has distinguished himself in haute couture, ready-to-wear, accessories, perfumes, jewelry, interior design and luxury hotels in cities such as Milan, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai.

In Milan, the preppy pop man of Fiorucci, the inmate of PDF
From a school playground to a prison yard; that's a move that only fashion could make, which it did on Friday evening in Milan, with a sense of humor and casualness. As the heat began to fade, the last two shows of the day shook up Fashion Week, dedicated to the men's collections for Spring/Summer 2026. Two colorful shows offering two totally opposed universes. Fiorucci 's fresh, pop spirit versus PDF's flamboyant, prison-like street style. Fiorucci invited guests to the large courtyard of its Milanese HQ on Friday, in a child-friendly atmosphere with hopscotches chalked on the cobblestones, pop posters pasted on the walls, and large azure sheets decorated with small white clouds hanging from one building to another. The hubbub of children playing outside accompanied guests until the start of the fashion show, which from the outset focused on lightness and carefreeness in a clearly playful vein. For next summer, the Fiorucci men's wardrobe revisits the codes of preppy style in a palette of blue, red, and white, but in a cool, sexy, and slightly romantic version. This man comes dressed in white socks and shorts and a navy sweater. But fringes rippled down his sides, and the rose in his buttonhole was made of red recycled plastic, with a pretty poodle with a sugared-pink bow in a jacquard pattern. Long leather fringes fell sideways down loose white pants, in reference to an archival model by founder Elio Fiorucci. The silhouette was elongated with close-fitting garments. Sweatpants mould the legs, while white cardigans with red and navy braids shrink or were adorned with a heart. Dark blazers were worn over bare-belly tank tops, and jeans were worn in triplicate, protruding from each other at waist height. A canvas shirt-and-pant ensemble was dotted with little poodles. This was definitely the motif of the season. It's everywhere, including on a sky-blue ruffled maxi dress. For women, creative director Francesca Murri mixed and matched polka dots and large stripes, notably in silk midi skirts, blouses, or strapless mini-dresses. Chunky, ruffled leather belts gave volume to the waist on leggings or skin-tight jumpsuits. Fiorucci's early 1980s white-and-red-striped marinière t-shirt was painted onto a model's torso, in a lovely trompe-l'oeil collaboration with artist Janina Zais. "These two years have enabled us to reposition the brand in an accessible luxury segment, where we can compete with brands like Acne Studios or Jacquemus, but with prices 20% lower. Our denim pieces, in particular, are enjoying great success on our e-shop," confided Alessandro Pisani, the brand's general manager, who intends to test the retail channel next year with the opening of pop-ups in Milan, London, and Paris. A change of register with PDF, the sought-after streetwear brand founded in 2023 by Italian designer Domenico Formichetti, which made its debut on the Milanese catwalks last January. In the large courtyard of what looked like a penitentiary, a barbed-wire fence stood in front of one of the yellow cell vans typical of American prisons. Inmates in T-shirts and baggy pants with large black and white stripes played a game of cards or chess in a corner, while others kicked a ball around a basketball hoop or work out, showing off their tattoos. The stage was set. The "Free-Dom" show imagined by Domenico Formichetti could begin. For the designer, the idea was to free the thoughts, ideas, and creativity often locked away in one's head. With beanies or caps secured on their heads, his bad boys wore baggy pants or shorter-legged but very baggy styles, as well as oversized jogging suits that fell below their buttocks, allowing their underpants to protrude, with t-shirts or sweatshirts featuring crazy graphics. The prison theme ran through the collection, with wide stripes inspired by American prison uniforms. Pants and jackets were also printed with brick mosaics reminiscent of prison walls. They also sported leather jackets and vinyl ensembles, Varsity jackets, and terrycloth American football jerseys. Originally from Chieti in central Italy's Abruzzo region, Formichetti moved to Milan twelve years ago. Before PDF, he founded his first streetwear brand, Formy, a little more basic, which he stopped in 2022 to embark on this new adventure. His new brand, made in Italy in his native region, has won over some sixty multi-brand retailers worldwide, as well as rappers.
