"My mission as a designer has always been concerned with the idea of comfort," says Giorgio Armani. Pictured here is part of the designer's autumn/winter 2020 collection.
It's perhaps not surprising that the godfather of modern suiting, Giorgio Armani, has been pondering existential questions of late. Since the pandemic sent most of us home from the office – some of us, perhaps, never to return – our suits have largely been consigned to the cupboard. But what happens now, as things start returning to normal?
"As our idea of work and home blurs and our notion of workwear is consequently interrogated, we will seek comfort above all things in our garments, while also requiring them to do multiple service in different environments: professional, semi-professional and non-professional," Armani tells Life & Leisure via email.
