# Opulent Monochrome Menswear Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 2015 By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-06-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emporio-armani References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/emporio-armani-springsummer-2015/) & [armani](http://www.armani.com/) 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. Doing only as Armani can, the label presented a line of simplistic pieces that managed to evoke status, wealth and opulence. Though work-appropriate, the pieces made a seamless transition from day to evening and managed to evoke power and masculinity without even trying. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Monochromatic Menswear:** There is an opportunity for fashion brands to create monochromatic menswear with an opulent and sophisticated air that can be seamlessly transitioned from day to evening. - **Grid and Stripe Accents:** Fashion brands can incorporate grid and stripe accents into their menswear collections for a graphic and modern touch that nods to architectural forms. - **Paneled Leather Jackets:** Leather jackets with panel detailing are a disruptive innovation opportunity for menswear brands looking to add a touch of opulence and sophistication to their collections. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can draw inspiration from Emporio Armani's Spring/Summer 2015 menswear collection and create pieces that embody a classically sophisticated air synonymous with an iconic label. - **Menswear:** Menswear brands can experiment with monochromatic color palettes, grid and stripe accents, and paneled leather jackets to add a touch of opulence and sophistication to their collections. - **Luxury:** Luxury brands can incorporate monochromatic color palettes, graphic accents, and opulent detailing to create pieces that evoke status, wealth, and opulence without trying. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Workwear-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-springsummer-2024.md) - [Understated Luxury Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coofandy.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md)
