THE VIEW FROM ABOVE – EMPORIO ARMANI MEN’S COLLECTION AUTUMN/ WINTER 2023

SOARING THROUGH THE AIR TO LOOK DOWN ON THE WORLD FROM A NEW
PERSPECTIVE IS A DEEPLY HUMAN DESIRE. AND FLIGHT, REPRESENTED BY THE EAGLE,
IS PART OF THE EMPORIO ARMANI SPIRIT: A SENSE OF ADVENTURE AND A BOUNDLESS
TASTE FOR EXPLORATION.

FLIGHT REVEALS THE CITY FROM ABOVE WITH THE CENTRAL POINTS MARKED ON A
MAP AS THE BACKDROP TO THE BRAND LOGO. THIS COLLECTION IS A TRIBUTE TO THE
1930S AVIATOR AND HIS WORLD, TO THE SOPHISTICATED SEVERITY AND ADVENTUROUS
PRECISION OF HIS STYLE, TO THE METALLIC GLINTS OF THE PLANES AND HANGARS.
THE IDEA OF A HUMAN IN FLIGHT REINVENTS A FIGURE THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CENTRAL TO
THE ARMANI IMAGINATION, DRESSING HIM IN SPORT-INSPIRED CLOTHES MADE FROM
SOFT, HIGH-IMPACT MATERIALS, WITH ENVELOPING VOLUMES AND DESIGNS THAT
EXPAND AND DILATE THE CLASSIC PRINCE OF WALES AND HOUNDSTOOTH CHECKS.
SILHOUETTES ARE VARIED: COATS, TRENCH COATS, DOUBLE-BREASTED PEA COATS
AND BLOUSONS ARE WORN WITH CROPPED TROUSERS, COMPLETE WITH BOOTS
AND LACE-UPS THAT BOAST THICK SOLES TO MARK EVERY STEP. THE RHYTHM OF THE
PATTERNS EXPAND INTO EVERYTHING ELSE: EVEN OVERSIZED T-SHIRTS ARE MADE
IN THE SAME WOOL AS COATS AND TROUSERS. LEATHER AND KNIT ARE ESSENTIAL
ELEMENTS THAT ADD GRIT AND COMFORT: VINTAGE-STYLE BOMBER JACKETS, LONG
TRICOT COATS, AND CARDIGANS WITH MATCHING GILETS TO CREATE NEW TWIN SETS.
THE EVENING IS NO LESS SOPHISTICATED AND THE EMPORIO AVIATOR EXPLORES THE
PLEASURE OF VELVET AND THE SPARKLE OF CRYSTALS, INDULGING IN THE LANGUOR
OF SILK BLOUSES WITH LONG SCARF COLLARS WITH NO DISDAIN FOR THE RIGOUR OF
DOUBLE-BREASTED JACKETS.

HERE ARE OUR FAVOURITE LOOKS:
