Emporio Armani X Our Legacy Work Shop - new collaborative collection
Emporio Armani and Our Legacy Work Shop are reuniting to launch a new collaborative project. Following the first launch in 2023, the new Spring/Summer collection continues the joint exploration of archival elegance - with the introduction of womenswear for the first time.
“I love things that age well - things that don’t date, that stand the test of time both in terms of durability and wearability,” comments Giorgio Armani.

The campaign, photographed by Alasdair McLellan, was shot on Pantelleria, a remote volcanic island in the Mediterranean and a long-time personal retreat for Giorgio Armani.
The collection draws on the Emporio Armani archive. Familiar elements are reworked through the lens of Our Legacy Work Shop. Many of the pieces are made from Armani fabrics and trims - materials that have stood the test of time and are now being re-imagined in a new context. The remaining pieces feature recreated vintage Armani fabrics, developed exclusively by Our Legacy for the project. “To design within the boundaries of what already exists is a challenge - but also an opportunity,” says Cristopher Nying, creative director of Our Legacy. “These fabrics carry history. Seeing them return in a new form made the entire process unexpectedly rewarding.”

Subtle references to traditional East Asian attire are found throughout the collection, such as the collarless Sciovolo Shirt, and the motifs on the pocket lining of the Ampolla Blazer. The Toga Coat, a robe-like piece, inspired by the structure of the kimono, served as a starting point for the design process and remains a key style. The collection's nods to hotel bathrobes and slippers evoke a sense of summer escape with its warm-weather vacation dressing - unhurried, sun-soaked and relaxed.
Silhouettes from the first collaboration return in new versions, while the cat that served as a key element in the first collection appears in select prints and on perhaps the best vacation companion of them all: an Our Legacy Work Shop Emporio Armani deck of cards.

WORK SHOP is the creative and experimental hub of Swedish brand OUR LEGACY, where fabrics and garments are used in innovative ways. Emporio Armani, a ‘container’ with a strong dynamic and metropolitan character, proposes the elegant Armani aesthetic through its signature identity and propensity for constant experimentation and evolution. The synergy between the two brands creates a unique journey that channels decades of history and parallel futures.
OUR LEGACY WORK SHOP Emporio Armani will be available from Friday 16th May with a special exclusive installation at the Armani/Manzoni store in Milan, and in-store installations at Dover Street Market London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and Ginza.
