EMPORIO ARMANI REOPENS AT MALL OF AFRICA, JOHANNESBURG 

Emporio Armani reopens its store at Mall of Africa, bringing Italian elegance and contemporary luxury to South Africa. Known for its sleek designs and timeless appeal, the brand introduces a new, fresh and immersive retail experience inspired by its flagship store in Milan.

The interiors feature soft, neutral tones, with light, modular furnishings that vary by area, spanning a total floor area of 170 square meters. A highly transparent façade and expansive windows enhance the sense of openness and inclusivity. Ceiling-mounted video panels interact with digital platforms, reinforcing a dynamic, metropolitan atmosphere and highlighting the seamless integration of technology.

These LED screens dematerialize the space like digital frescoes in motion, with visuals extending across wall displays to create a vibrant interplay of imagery and themes drawn from the latest collections.

The entire project is defined by visual and structural lightness, minimalism, and a sense of equilibrium—offering a renewed and elevated approach to spatial design. Coinciding with the launch, Emporio Armani’s latest collections are available in-store. Womenswear channels playful sophistication, using a recurring playing card motif across sharp silhouettes and textured fabrics. 

The palette shifts from warm neutrals to bold accents, with standout pieces like oversized bow dresses, tailored jackets, and velvet bags. Menswear focuses on understated seduction, featuring long coats, pleated high-waisted trousers, and textured fabrics in earthy hues like cognac and chocolate. Metallic accents brushed animal prints, and softly tailored cuts add depth to the collection.

Launched in 1981, the Emporio Armani line has a strong dynamic and urban quality, and reflects all the elegance of the Armani aesthetic, reworked in a contemporary language.

The brand confirms its original identity: a ‘container’ that offers a broad range of garments and accessories, from sportswear to formal and more elegant pieces, with a message that resonates across the board.
