This week, Giorgio Armani is introducing the second chapter of the Armani/Archivio project, which includes for the first time thirteen men’s and women’s looks from the house’s iconic collections spanning 1979 to 1994. The looks, which will be made available in select stores in the U.S. starting May 7th, have been reproduced and are emblematic of the label’s stylistic journey.

The launch, which coincides with Milan Design Week and represents a “bridge between past and future,” revolves around the jacket designed by Giorgio Armani, inviting new generations to discover his iconic creations. The accompanying campaign was photographed by creative director and designer Eli Russell Linnetz.
