First Looks at Giorgio Armani Spring 2019

GIORGIO ARMANI_SS19-17

Both Giorgio Armani‘s pieces and cast for the new collection were quite flawlessly chic this season. Pale colors, silk shirts, and Japanese-inspired pants all offer a laid-back attitude with a flair of Côte d’Azur. In this season, the designer also brought back the original 80’s logo.

Photos shot by Paolo Simi and Alessandro Russo for ESSENTIAL HOMME.

From Our View: MFW AW16 Part II

The front row in the fast lane.

From first looks backstage to post-show details, Fashion Month is a rampant, non-stop race from runway to retail. As we continue to bring you our favorite snaps in media res on Instagram, here we back away and take pause to present a curated look at the best moments of the season.

Giorgio Armani

Mr. Armani committed to his own timeless aesthetic by dressing the modern gentleman with classical navy blue and soft fabrics in Giorgio Armani‘s AW16 collection.

FENDI

FENDI‘s variation juxtaposed luxury and relaxation, setting a smooth ambience through its use of pajama suits and fur slippers in this opulent AW16 collection.

Gucci

The ’70s and Alessandro Michele’s delivery of florals, romanticism, and use of characters gave Gucci a turnover in its fashion philosophy.

DSQUARED2

The making of the modern samurai creates a hybrid between modernity and Asian culture in this Japanese flavored DSQAURED2 AW16 collection

Giorgio Armani and Al Pacino Take On Broadway

Al Pacino - sketchImage: Giorgio Armani.

Stepping away from the runway, Giorgio Armani graces the Broadway stage, collaborating with David Mamet on his latest play, “China Doll,” which stars legendary actor Al Pacino. The production tells the story of a man of means that is ready to give up everything for his young girlfriend until a telephone call changes his plans completely. Working with Tony award winning costume designer Jess Goldstein, Armani was able to create clothing that would bring Pacino’s character to life while still honoring the Italian brand’s signature styles. Having designed wardrobe for major motion pictures since 1980, the new artistic collaboration continues Armani’s support for the world of entrainment. “China Doll” opens at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater in New York on December 4, 2015 and will run on Broadway through January 31, 2016.

Armani Brand Amps Up Lifestyle Enterprises

Gone are the days of the single faceted fashion label, as Giorgio Armani’s proactive boost in lifestyle enterprises reaches impressive new heights. While the new made to measure campaign takes the advertising world by storm, the Italian fashion house is not sitting idly back. With a state-of-the-art, high-end residential complex currently in development for Beijing, music-streaming app poised to burst onto the Apple Music/Tidal playing field, and a brand new exhibition space, the Armani lifestyle brand is more integrated and overtly extensive than ever before.

The new Smart Hero-Central Park Plaza Residences, a collaborative effort between luxury furnishings subdivision Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio and Smart Hero Group, will be part of the largest urban park in Asia when construction completes, as well as the leading green building complex in China through environmental integration with the nearby Chaoyang Park. The Beijing residency will join the already lucrative Armani Hotel chain, which boasts upscale locations in both Dubai and Milan, and supplement the ever-growing Armani property sector

The residence, voted one of the “Top 10 Contemporary Buildings in China” by China’s Ministry of Culture, is designed by Ma Yansong and boasts an impressive peak and slop exterior design, mixing Western design with Eastern philosophy. As with any Armani property, the brand oversees all aspects of the interior and style design, including the specially created furniture pieces by the Armani/Casa collection, and will blend seamlessly with the established aesthetic already curated in the previous properties.

Image: Armani.

The lifestyle presence extends even further through Emporio Armani Sounds, the latest tech effort that combines the exhilarating world of fashion with the world-class audio of Spotify, adding to Armani’s digital space. Branching off of the fashion brand’s DJ series, Emporio Armani Sounds x Standard Sounds—whose Vol. 2 occurrence closed last fall’s New York Fashion Week— the app showcases EA’s rich world of music and features performances, handpicked playlists, and interviews by artists like Mark Ronson, Calvin Harris, and La Roux. Armani-produced fashion content will go live on the app on a weekly basis and users will be able to discover what songs are playing in nearby Emporio Armani stores instantly.

Image: Armani.

After 40 years of continued operation and growth, the brand also celebrates with a new Milan-based exhibition, Armani/Silos, a four-floor dedicated space, that chronicles the numerous themes and inspirations of the brand. Including daywear, exoticisms, color-schemes, and light, important moments from the label’s history are housed in the converted ’50s storage facility and nestled in a honeycomb layout that is arranged by aesthetic relation.

While Armani/Silos is currently open and Emporio Armani Sounds is available now for both iOS and Android devices, the Smart Hero-Central Park Plaza Residences is projected to complete construction in 2017.
