Emporio Armani showcased its Spring/Summer 2015 collection during Milan Fashion Week and presented fans with a range of elegant and monochromatic pieces.
The urban menswear line was subtly inspired by avant-garde, architectural forms that were 'translated into a pure graphic language of line and colour'.
The label's grid and stripe accent sweaters were paired with paneled leather jackets that undeniably stole the show. The Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 2015 collection embodied a classically sophisticated air that is synonymous with the iconic Italian label.
