Giorgio Armani and Kith have announced the launch of their second collaborative collection, following the debut of their first chapter in Autumn/Winter 2024. The new collection, available exclusively for the summer season, continues the brands’ shared focus on quality craftsmanship and cross-cultural style.
Titled “Estate”, the collection draws inspiration from both the Italian word for summer and the English meaning of property. It blends the seasonal spirit with a vision of aspirational living. The collection is designed for both men and, for the first time, women.
To celebrate the launch, Giorgio Armani and Kith will host activations in Malibu, the Hamptons, Forte dei Marmi and Porto Cervo. These include early access events at Kith Malibu on 4 July and the Giorgio Armani & Kith Hamptons House on 5 and 6 July. The global launch begins 10 July at selected Giorgio Armani boutiques, Kith stores worldwide, and online.
The men’s collection includes a double-breasted blazer, a crossover shirt, monogram pant, bomber jacket and Bermuda short. The pieces are designed with lightweight materials for summer, such as 100% silk and 100% cupro. Coastal prints featuring Capri, Forte dei Marmi, Sardinia and Malibu appear across swimwear, tees, shorts and zip-ups.
Accessories for both collections include sunglasses, headwear, bandanas, bags, belts, and card holders. Headwear ranges from bucket hats to fedoras and trucker caps, all featuring co-branding and seasonal artwork.
New to this season are canvas and raffia totes with suede and leather trims. Leather belts with co-branded buckles and suede card holders round out the accessories offering.
Footwear features espadrille-inspired loafers and slides. The loafers are made from goat leather or full-grain leather, with embossed Giorgio Armani & Kith branding. Slides come in brown and black leather.
The womenswear capsule is the first by Giorgio Armani & Kith. Pieces include satin dresses, kimonos, gowns and cover-ups. Highlights include a wrap dress in silk-blend with a custom paisley print and a high-slit black dress with a sweetheart neckline. Each piece is crafted from ultra-soft and lightweight materials for seasonal comfort.
The women’s collection also includes graphic tees, sarongs and swimwear featuring co-branded hardware.
