When it comes to fashion, inspiration
can truly strike anywhere. The gentle
wash of colours in the winter sky can
have designers dreaming of gauzy
fabrics in similar shades. Architectural
elements around you can inspire you
to zealously sketch out geometric
patterns and designs. But sometimes,
inspiration can be found in the colours,
scents and culture of a land.
That’s exactly what happened in
1994, when legendary Italian fashion
designer Giorgio Armani travelled to
India. Over the course of his stay, he
found himself absolutely entranced by
the rich culture of this land. Spilling
with colour and ringing with happy
noises, it didn’t take too long for India
to captivate this designer and inspire
him to create.
Stirred by India’s distinctive
spirit, Giorgio Armani, upon his
return, presented designs that were
an ode to Indian culture, in Milan at
Via Borgonuovo. Twenty- ve years
later, the inspiration that he derived
from his travels lives on. Witness it
for yourself with the luxury brand’s
new capsule collection featuring
traditional Achkan and Nehru jackets
exclusively designed for India. The
capsule collection primarily focuses on
the Achkan silhouette. A traditional
knee-length jacket with a Nehru
collar, it has been modelled from the
traditional Indian ceremonial jacket.
And Armani’s classic and minimal
aesthetic, as well as its ideas of
elegance and harmony, shine through
the entire collection.
The Achkans are available in wool
cashmere and velvet. The jackets
feature small side slits and a discreet
and tasteful “GA” logo embroidered
on the pocket. Paired with a soft
ankle-length trouser, the Achkans
are nished with a classic gilet each,
with a at collar and an elegant
button-fastening. The best part? It’s
comfortable enough to be worn as-it-
is, on its own over a shirt.
Be it large galas or intimate affairs,
Giorgio Armani’s capsule collection
ensures that your wardrobe is
equipped with the nest sartorial
styles, steeped in excellence.For more information, drop by
