In contemporary fashion culture, archives reveal the creative process: they are places filled with wonder - initiatives to stimulate research, and which provide opportunities for representing and reviewing the past and its important moments, in order to help create the future. With the Digital Archive project, Giorgio Armani opens his personal archive to the wider public, giving access to a vast source of ideas and enabling visitors to reconstruct all the phases of the designer's creative process and working methods, thus illustrating his aesthetic approach.
The archive contains approximately 1,000 outfits categorized by seasons and collections, and images of 2,000 garments and accessories, as well as numerous sketches, fashion show and backstage videos, images taken from the Emporio Armani Magazine and iconic advertising photos.
Armani/Silos is a work-in-progress resource, a workshop in which nothing is permanent and which will be continuously enriched with new materials.
