Giorgio Armani ’s name has been synonymous with high glamour since the late Italian designer first established his namesake brand in the mid ’70s, but that’s been especially the case over the last 20 years. Why? Well, exactly two decades ago, Mr Armani launched Armani Privé, a Paris-presenting haute couture line that has graced the runways and red carpets, galas and all manner of glitzy gatherings with some of the most resplendently elegant evening wear that the world has seen since.
To toast the occasion, the Maison is currently hosting Giorgio Armani Privé 2005-2025, Twenty Years of Haute Coutur e, an extensive survey exhibition in Milan, its spiritual home – more precisely at Armani/Silos, the museum space within the broader Armani complex that also houses the brand’s mainline shows
