Backstage at Giorgio Armani SS26 in Milan, emotion ran deep. As the house marked 50 years of timeless elegance—and quietly honoured the recent loss of Giorgio Armani himself—the atmosphere was charged with grace and gravity. Through my lens, I captured MUA Hiromi Ueda and her team translating that emotion into beauty: serene, understated, yet profoundly moving. The show went on, but every touch of makeup felt like a tribute.
