Giorgio Armani, both the brand and well-lauded individual, does not do things by halves. The Women's Spring/Summer 2025 collection in New York took place at the Park Avenue Armory, the fabled 19th-century building on Manhattan's Upper East Side. 

Cabana's inner circle gathered on the front row: artist and designer Angelica Hicks, Sabine and Joseph Getty, and Martina Mondadori and Ashley Hicks who held court with Lauren Santo Domingo, Derek Blasberg and Nicky Hilton Rothschild. 

Showcasing a presentation only Mr Armani could muster, the runway opened with a model followed by a suitcase-carrying bell boy. Menswear was just as impressive, featuring Armani's classic take on sexy-yet-extraordinarily-well-cut tailoring.

Post runway, a party promptly kicked into gear, featuring live performances by Chaka Khan and James Blake, enjoyed by well-dressed guests including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Cooper Koch, Pamela Anderson, Amanda Seyfried and Brie Larson.

The real place to be was at The Carlyle's legendary Bemelmans Bar, however. The after-party more than delivered, with Leonardo DiCaprio holding court while Belgian brothers, 2manydjs, kept everyone moving into the small hours.
