Giorgio Armani and Kith continue their collaboration with a new summer-focused collection launching today. Following the release of their first chapter in Fall/Winter 2024, the two brands return with an offering that connects Italian refinement with the casual ease of American summers. The name of the collection, Estate, references both the Italian word for summer and the English term for property, reflecting the concept of warm-weather leisure and aspirational living.
The collection introduces designs for both men and women, marking the first time the partnership includes womenswear. Each item reflects a mix of silhouettes from Giorgio Armani’s archives and Kith’s contemporary staples, interpreted through seasonal materials and coastal references.
For men, the capsule focuses on silk tailoring and lightweight layers. Key pieces include a double-breasted blazer crafted from silk twill with oversized front pockets, a crossover shirt and monogram pant set made entirely from silk with tonal Giorgio Armani and Kith artwork, and a cupro bomber jacket with subtle branding at the back. A pleated Bermuda short, inspired by Kith’s signature fit, completes the offering of tailored items.
Printed garments feature landscape imagery from Capri, Forte dei Marmi, Sardinia, and Malibu. These coastal locations appear on tees, shorts, zip-ups, and swimwear. Accessories expand the collection with sunglasses, bandanas, belts, and card holders. Headwear options include fedoras, caps, trucker hats, and bucket hats – all showcasing shared branding and graphic motifs. Canvas and raffia totes appear with suede and leather accents.
Footwear comes in several styles, including slides and espadrille-inspired loafers. The Espadrilla features a penny-loafer upper with a woven sole, constructed in goat leather with tonal branding. The T-Bar Espadrilla uses deer leather and has a raised front strap, while the collaborative slide is made from suede and comes in black or brown with a branded front strap.
The women’s capsule introduces dresses, kimonos, and eveningwear. A patchwork kimono in shades of blue, cut from hammered satin silk, showcases co-branded monogram artwork and a self-tie belt. A silk-viscose dress with a sweetheart neckline and paisley design adds texture and softness. Cover-up dresses come in crossover and deep-V shapes, designed from silk blends that maintain breathability. A floor-length gown finishes the offering with a silhouette made for warm nights out.
The summer release also includes swimwear, a custom sarong, and destination-inspired tees featuring Italian and American locales. Co-branded hardware and print details appear throughout, linking each piece to the shared aesthetic of both brands. The Giorgio Armani and Kith collection is available globally through selected boutiques, Kith shops, and Kith’s online platforms for a limited summer run.
