The Wonderful World of Giorgio Armani

One of my great pleasures is the new role I have taken on as the Giorgio Armani Retail Brand Ambassador for Richards, in addition to my job as their Personal Shopper.  

On Monday, I met the buyers at Armani's exquisite headquarters in NYC, to work on the Resort and Spring 2013 collection. Everything, is soothing and impeccable. The space is elegantly framed by floor to ceiling windows with incredible panoramic views of Manhattan.  Every landmark feels like you could throw a pebble at it and hear it ping.  

His team is the best in the business and they are passionate about, "Mr. Armani's" vision.  A day at the showroom is always a pleasure.  Breakfast and lunch are tastefully catered and served elegantly on white china.  It is the nicest possible ambiance to partner in creating a successful season.

There is no doubt, that most people associate Mr. Armani with flawless tailoring, particularly suiting. While impeccably tailored suiting will always be a signature, what excited me most is the incredible range, within one collection of beautiful lifestyle pieces. 

Take a look at the wonderful world of Armani and if you are going to be in Greenwich this Saturday June 23rd., pop into Richards and see this wonderful trunk show, that we are privileged to have, yourself:
