Giorgio Armani Archive Sweater - Sample Italian Workshop

Superb vintage room from the line Giorgio Armani The Collezioni,

probably dating from the end of the 1990s or the early 2000s. This long-sleeved sweater perfectly embodies the minimalist and architectural aesthetics of Armani: an elongated silhouette, a mastered wide cut and a mesh work. sophisticated.

This model is distinguished by its atypical construction and its generous volumes, with a shoulder width of about 56 cm and a bust of 60 cm, for a size indicated 52 it. The cut is not standardized, which reinforces the assumption of a workshop development or sample used for patronage adjustments.

The part has several technical handwritten annotations in Italian directly applied on adhesive labels, mentioning measurements and corrections such as lengths, widths and editing indications. These elements are typical of clothing used in the development phase or collection validation within the Italian workshops.

The absence of a composition label also reinforces this hypothesis, suggesting that the garment has not necessarily reached its final marketing stage or that it is a work copy preserved as is.

The mesh has a dry and structured touch, probably a blank wool or a technical wool mixture, faithful to the Armani productions of this period, where the clothing and purity of the line were priorities.

A rare and singular room, on the border between collection clothes and archive object, ideal for vintage Italian fashion amateur, collector or passionate couture archives.
