While this is Scorsese's first collaboration with Kith, his longstanding relationship with Giorgio Armani adds a layer of depth and authenticity to the project. Scorsese, renowned for his revolutionary contributions to cinema, brings an air of gravitas and artistic integrity to the campaign in his role as 'The Artist'. The partnership is rooted in their shared values and a friendship spanning decades. The American filmmaker's work on 'Made in Milan,' a documentary that chronicles Armani's rise in the fashion world, underscores their mutual respect for craftsmanship, storytelling, and their enduring connection to their roots.

 

The Kith & Giorgio Armani collection is structured as a four-part series, each segment representing a distinct archetype: the artist, the entertainer, the traveler, and the entrepreneur. This diverse approach ensures wide appeal, seamlessly blending Armani's timeless elegance with Kith's contemporary edge. The project draws additional depth from the shared New York heritage of its key figures. Scorsese's lifelong connection to the city resonates with Kith founder Ronnie Fieg's own New York roots, infusing the partnership with a genuine urban spirit that underscores its creative vision.

 

To celebrate this monumental alliance, Kith has transformed an Upper East Side townhouse in New York into an immersive pop-up experience. Open to the public on September 6th and 7th at 170 East 80th Street, this event offers fashion enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore the collection before its official release. This limited-time preview allows visitors to experience the fusion of Kith's contemporary edge with Armani's classic style in a curated environment.

 

Following the exclusive pop-up event, the collection will be made available through a carefully orchestrated global release. The launch will begin on September 13th in Kith and Giorgio Armani stores across the United States and Canada. The global expansion will continue on September 20th, with the collection reaching select stores in Europe, Japan, and Korea.
