Armarium’s pre-fall collection grew out of the evolving needs of its designer Giorgia Gabriele—needs that, in many ways, reflect those of every woman. “I don’t like the idea of having a daytime wardrobe and an evening wardrobe, where the most special pieces end up hanging in the closet after being worn only once,” she said. Her goal is to bring continuity to Armarium’s aesthetic, moving away from rigid tailoring and designing each piece with a sense of truly versatile wearability.
“The woman I have in mind is very aware of who she is, but she doesn’t need extreme pieces to express herself,” the designer explained. In her vision, every stylistic choice has a purpose. That’s why trains are the keys to this collection. They appear throughout outerwear, knitwear, and shirting, highlighting the more distinctive side of each piece while blurring traditional boundaries between functions. On utilitarian jackets and shirts, the train can be reimagined as a draped shawl or a cape that shifts the garment’s proportions via two small buttons and a slit. On denim, the train can be transformed into a skirt worn over jeans or into a top, while on dresses and sweaters it becomes a scarf that rests lightly on the shoulders.
Clean, rational lines remain central to Armarium’s identity, though here they take on a softer, more fluid and dynamic character. Slits are another recurring theme, appearing on blazers, coats, dresses, and skirts. Textures add movement and a touch of boldness: pony hair and glossy leather play against more traditionally masculine fabrics. Among the new elements, accessories reinforce the idea of versatility—from the refined structure of the Nour cap to the effortless ease of the Eterna bag, offered in both city and weekend versions.
