“Even from our earliest conversations, I knew I wanted this collection to revolve around suiting. To me, “suit” and “Giorgio Armani” are synonymous. As I began ideating on the story to tell, I knew I wanted to pay homage and respect to Mr. Armani’s career and life by representing the men who I feel he has inspired the most. There are so many people around the world from different walks of life who have been influenced by Mr. Armani and who share the universal language or wear a Giorgio Armani suit. This is how we came up with the concept of the Archetypes,” shared Ronnie Fieg, Founder, CEO, and Creative Director of Kith.

Armani and Kith created four Archetypes all serving as inspiration for each product’s design – The Artist, Entertainer, Traveler, and Entrepreneur. Each of these represents the four capsules, composed of their own fabrics, shapes, and color palettes. The Artist’s capsule emulates a creative visionary; each product in this capsule is designed in black with the hero piece being a double-breasted suit in virgin wool, while other styles include a long trench, a cashmere-silk turtleneck, and a bomber jacket. The Entertainer dresses as if he owns the venue with a primarily navy and dark green color palette. This capsule features a suit crafted from navy velvet, a crossover closure jacket with double-pleated pants, a rugby shirt and drawstring pants. The Traveler is described as a citizen of the world, with most products residing in shades of tans and browns. The hero piece being a three-piece suit, inclusive of a double-breasted jacket, crafted from a lightweight virgin wool. Lastly, The Entrepreneur is said to follow his own rules and intuition, with dark brown as the primary color. This capsule’s suit is a single-breasted jacket with a detachable scarf, which is paired with double-pleated trousers. The collection also features a range of footwear, graphic apparel, and headwear like caps and beanies.
