Giorgio Armani and Kith Return With Second Collaboration Celebrating the Spirit of Summer
Published
Giorgio Armani and Kith are back with the second chapter of their sought-after partnership, unveiling a refined new collection that seamlessly bridges Italian elegance with New York’s laid-back sophistication. This next installment, titled simply Estate — the Italian word for “summer” — expands the collaboration to include both men’s and women’s pieces for the first time.
Following the success of their debut in Fall/Winter 2024, the new collection embodies the timeless charm of summers spent between the coasts of Italy and the shores of America. Inspired by the idea of “estate” as both season and aspiration, the capsule captures a sense of leisure and refinement through luxurious fabrics, understated silhouettes, and coastal prints.
For men, standout pieces include a debut Double Breasted Blazer in silk twill, a Crossover Shirt and Monogram Pant set crafted entirely from silk, and a crisp Bomber Jacket in custom cupro with subtle embroidery. Coastal landscape prints—spotlighting destinations like Capri, Forte dei Marmi, Sardinia, and Malibu—adorn breezy shorts, swimwear, and tees. Accessories span raffia totes, suede-trimmed bucket hats, and suede slides co-branded by Armani and Kith.
Footwear plays a starring role too, with premium loafers and slides built for summer escapes. The Espadrilla penny-loafer, made from supple goat leather, and the T-Bar Espadrilla loafer in deer leather bring a luxurious twist to laid-back summer footwear, while the Giorgio Armani & Kith Slide rounds out the offering in classic brown and black suede.
Marking a first for the collaboration, the new collection introduces Giorgio Armani & Kith Women’s — a debut capsule of flowing gowns, silk kimonos, and cover-ups, all crafted from delicate silk blends and viscose-silk fabrics. The highlight is a patchwork print kimono inspired by Giorgio Armani’s archives, alongside a silk dress with tonal paisley and a co-branded pendant—versatile swimwear and airy sarongs round out the women’s range, celebrating poolside glamour and coastal adventure.
To celebrate the launch, Giorgio Armani and Kith will host special activations in Malibu, The Hamptons, Forte Dei Marmi, and Porto Cervo, including early releases at Kith Malibu on July 4 and at the Giorgio Armani & Kith Hamptons House from July 5–6.
The full collection will be available at selected Giorgio Armani boutiques and Kith flagship stores worldwide and online at Kith.com and the Kith App, beginning July 10.
