Mr Armani is still working his magic backstage making sure each model is perfectly dressed, tiny tweaks made minutes before the final touches. A belt added, a soft cap adjusted. Details, details. It has ever been so and even though he is 90 years of age, the show goes on.

For Mr Armani this season has been one of richness and decoration, a collection of ballet shoes launched with 10 Corso Como, always an architect playing with surface and textures, feelings, emotions, space. This is part of his DNA he is one of fashions great explorers, always perfecting what his woman needs next: the soft beret, tiny dark glasses, wafer soled boots, a soft shouldered jacket, a gathered harem pant, a liquid glittering gown.

The last 21 evening looks of the Giorgio Armani AW25 collection titled BOOTS, were a shimmering journey into the night, he owns midnight after all. Jackets, pants, gowns all weighted with tiny crystals and beads. These were the show pieces the fireworks that will become collectors pieces. Every Armani collection is history in the making. We watched on from the newly configured space in via Bergognone with the set first debuting in New York City, heartland of good clubs and good times. We lounged languidly. He gets us.
