Giorgio Armani Marks 50 Years with Milan Exhibition, Venice Launch

Giorgio Armani celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025 with a series of special events and projects marking five decades of iconic style since its founding in Milan on July 24, 1975. The celebrations include the launch of Armani/Archivio, an interactive digital platform debuting during the Venice Film Festival on August 30, which catalogs the brand’s extensive collections and will have a physical headquarters near Milan. Milan Fashion Week will feature a landmark exhibition opening on September 24 at the Pinacoteca di Brera, the first fashion exhibition hosted by the museum, showcasing 150 archival looks that trace the evolution of Armani's aesthetic alongside artistic masterpieces. The festivities will conclude with a runway show on September 28 in the historic Courtyard of Honor at Palazzo Brera, presenting the Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 2026 Women’s Collection and select menswear. Despite a 5 percent revenue decline in 2024, Armani continues to emphasize its heritage through these cultural and fashion initiatives, including a concurrent exhibition marking the 20th anniversary of its Privé haute couture collection. These events underscore Armani’s role in bridging its storied past with its future ambitions in fashion and digital innovation.
