Celebrating Giorgio Armani

 

As I write this post, it was just announced that Giorgio Armani has passed at the age of 91. The news shocks the fashion industry. It also hits hard at the "Shop This" household. We have a closet full of vintage Armani. Our little Yorkie was even named Armani.  Here's my way of celebrating his life. It feels right to wrap up this week honoring a man of such style!

Armani Fall 2025: The collection is called "Noir séduisant. It's fabulous!  Watch the show at Armani. "Each silhouette, each embellishment, is shaped by artistry and intention within the world of the #GiorgioArmaniPrivé Fall/Winter 2025-26 collection, crafted at Palazzo Armani in Paris, France."

Armani Casa: I think I have at least one more home move in my life. It is my plan to decorate with  furnishings from Armani Casa. They are so sleek, sophisticated, and timeless. Armani Casa New York can be found at

499 Park Ave, 10022, NEW YORK, NY

The Power Suit: I was so into that era of dressing. Mr. Armani was the best at the style, and still is.  Above is Cate Blanchet at the Venice Film Festival. The look is just so divine.

Upton Line Silk-Blend Tuxedo Jacket: The epitome of sophistication for the modern man. "Mr. Shop This" had an incredible experience at The Armani Shop in Rome. He had three suits tailored for him by men in spotless white coats. Then they delivered them to our hotel 24 hours later. They just appeared in our room. So amazing!

Spring Summer 1980. I remember this look. Wish I had bought it. This look is documented and maintained in the Armani Archivio. Read about it here

Breathtaking! From the Fall 2025 Ready To Wear Collection.

Armani Fiori: The embodiment of style and lifestyle. Mr. Armani delved into the world of fresh flowers and vases for home decor. They are as simplistic and sophisticated, as his fashion. It's all aavailable at select boutiques.
