SOUL SEARCHING: EMPORIO ARMANI SS17
Emporio-Armani-Mens-SS17-featured

Sharp, sleek and tense, Emporio Armani stays true to its code of refined sophistication this SS17 with a collection that is best described as athleisure meets understated luxe. Identity is the catchphrase of the season, where the looks mix familiar shapes and signs in a personal way: this summer, Emporio Armani wants you to be yourself.

Emporio Armani is one of those brands that continues the debate between form and style. A sense of functionality dominates, where artistic prints adorn athletic wear – but made with fine materials, of course, for a contribution to the recurring athleisure conversation does not necessitate losing the house’s luxe aesthetic. Unexpected details further underline the coherence of the looks: a touch of romance in the embroidered foliage, or metallic patches with a military flavour spell identity.

The house reiterates its catchphrase in the accessories, where a personal touch further reinforces the search for one’s identity. Lace-ups and sandals abound – in line with this season’s obsession with socks worn with sandals – along with bags and backpacks that ooze modernity. And the colour palette – deep blues and urban greens with splashes of red, orange and electric blue – is so typical to the house.

This summer, Emporio Armani rehashes the codes so close to the brand’s heart, as if extending an invitation for everyone to be themselves.

"Invest in the brand!"
