Experience the timeless luxury of Giorgio Armani at CityCenterDC, Washington, D.C.’s first boutique from the famed Italian designer
This autumn, CityCenterDC is honoured to be home to a new boutique from Giorgio Armani, a heritage fashion and lifestyle brand that’s earned enduring praise for its harmoniously versatile approach.
At the fashion house’s helm is its acclaimed, eponymous designer, Giorgio Armani, who has spent decades satiating our desire for classic design, sharpening an aptitude for sensorial sophistication and distilling it into a always-contemporary aesthetic. “The essence of style is a simple way of saying something complex,” Armani says.
Read on to learn more about Armani’s unparalleled vision, the latest limited- edition capsule collections and why the fashion house’s new CityCenterDC boutique is a design spectacle in itself.
“Living legend” is a moniker saved for exceptional talent—and Giorgio Armani is undoubtedly one of them. After launching his namesake label in 1975, Armani honed in on his singular approach, eschewing transient trends and redefining the concept of sophistication in the fashion world. “I always did it my own way. Even today, I hold my independence close. It’s what’s most precious to me. Passion. Risk. Tenacity. Consistency. This is my professional history,” he says. It’s safe to say the world has caught on: his unforgettable garments have been worn by Hollywood icons like Cate Blanchett, Sharon Stone and Anne Hathaway, while the Armani empire has deftly expanded to encompass beauty and home goods. Over 45 years later, Armani has made a lasting mark on fashion, capturing the spirit of true style through his designs.

Giorgio Armani once said, “to create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail.” It was this uncompromising approach that informed the new CityCenterDC boutique’s captivating space. Along with his team of architects, Armani thoughtfully composed a world that feels parallel to his elegance-forward design aesthetic: curved interiors, double-height ceilings, muted marble-effect flooring plus a striking textural contrast between silk wallpaper and matte metal details.
Housed in the boutique are collections dedicated to both men’s and women’s lines, inclusive of ready-to-wear, accessories and made-to-measure services, plus an Armani beauty area and a selection of Armani/Casa items.
