Until January 2026 the Pinacoteca di Brera hosts Giorgio Armani: Milan, for love, with over 120 creations from the main museums around the world
What you breathe in these days of fashion shows and a mixture of feelings; On the one hand, the right enthusiasm of a city that always looks to the future and therefore next spring summer 2026; on the other, nostalgia, because the disappearance of Giorgio Armani, beyond the human value of the person, marks the end of an era, to which we all had fond of it for better or for worse. In this scenario, the Pinacoteca di Brera opens the doors to the exhibition Giorgio Armani: Milan, for loveon the bill from today until 11 January 2026. “An exhibition can be seen in two ways. On the one hand there is the immediate satisfaction of the creator’s ego. On the other there is the didactic value, the unique testimony that you can offer to the public, but above all to young creatives, through your work: a feeling that lasts and satisfies. Here, I am interested in this second aspect”, wrote Armani himself in the autobiographical volume himself For love. So in the its Brera, the one where he inhabited, and in the perimeter of the Academy of Fine Arts, which in 1993 conferred the academic title for the consistency of his search for style, and the rigor with which he knew how to combine the function with the imagination of the invention, more than 120 creations are revealed, which come from the Armani/silos but also from a whole series of other museums all over the world, which tell the style of their creator, but also dialogue with the environment, suggesting unexpected reflections and points of view. Sartoriality, decoration, those neutral but lively colors, shapes and buildings, draw up the conceptual dictionary of fifty years of creativity. “Giorgio Armani was one of the highest expressions of Italian creativity that has been expressed in the essentiality and rigor of the forms, a rigor that has become ethical as aesthetic, that is, he has permeated his way of living and working. And in this Giorgio Armani represents the character of Milan”, he underlined, Angelo Crespi, director of the Pinacoteca di Brera, “Armani is also the most typical expression of the culture of Brera, world where art, research and innovation has been made for five hundred years “. A look aimed at the future, which the stylist had already put in a quote with the launch in August of Armani/Archive, the sharing project that collects thousands of looks from the Giorgio Armani Woman and Man collections and which will be available on the Archive.Armani.com website
