Italian designer Giorgio Armani presented a light spring/summer collection with plenty of sparkle for his eponymous main line at Milan Fashion Week on Sunday.

The 88-year-old fashion veteran opened the show, called "Fil d'Or" (golden thread), with lightly-colored looks in sand and pale grey. Models wore elongated jackets and tapered loose trousers matched with golden bags and trainers.

He then turned to various shades of blue to present fringed tops and long dresses over trousers, a variety of both cropped jackets and beaded gilets paired with fluid skirts.

Many of the designs bore sparkling embellishments. For the finale, models wore an array of golden evening outfits consisting of sparkling sheer tops or gowns with sequined trims.

"I cannot manage making clothes without them having at least one sequin," Armani joked to reporters about the abundance of shine in the collection.

"A few years ago, it was out of place to wear an outfit with paillettes during the day, now it is accepted. The important thing is to wear it well," he added, repeating that the main theme of the collection was "lightness".

Models mainly wore flat sandals.

"This collection is inspired by other worlds, even if it is very Armani," the designer told reporters.

Armani presented the latest collection for his second line, Emporio Armani, on Thursday.

Milan Fashion Week, where designers are presenting their spring/summer 2023 lines, wraps on Monday.

Capri Holdings' chief financial officer and operations head, Thomas Edwards, will leave the luxury holding company to assume similar roles at department store chain Macy's in June.

Edwards, who has been with the company since April 2017, will be succeeded by unit Michael Kors' Rajal Mehta as interim CFO, Reuters reported.

The change at Capri comes amid reports of Italian luxury group Prada moving closer to a deal for its Versace brand.

In March, Capri said Donatella Versace would step down as the main designer for Versace after almost three decades.

Edwards will replace Adrian Mitchell at Macy's. Mitchell, appointed finance head in 2020, was most recently involved in a turnaround at the Bloomingdale's parent rolled out by CEO Tony Spring.
