The founder of the eponymous luxury Italian house will be in the city to celebrate the opening of the maison’s new building on Madison Avenue, entirely redesigned to include residential units, Armani/Ristorante and the new Giorgio Armani and Armani/Casa boutiques.
The celebrations for the new opening will be held this October and will include a fashion show followed by an after-party.
Discussing the announcement, Giorgio Armani said “I am delighted to return to New York to celebrate this very important project. My time in this city has always been significant and has marked key moments in my career. The opening of Madison Avenue is an important personal milestone because it crystallises my vision of style in the city that was perhaps the first to truly embrace it”.
