The Armani Group is pleased to announce the opening of an emporio armani store in Ezeiza Airport, Buenos Aires. The retail space covers over 70 square metres on one floor.
Much more than a fashion boutique, the new store design embodies giorgio armani’ s vision of the modern, casual lifestyle that Emporio Armani represents. The store offers the complete Emporio Armani lifestyle collection for men and women including formal and casual wear, sportswear, leather accessories, watches, eyewear, and jewellery collections.
Giorgio Armani, together with a team of in-house architects, designed the new store following the image of the recently opened Emporio Armani stores in Hong Kong - Pacific Place, London Heathrow –T3, Dubai – Mall of Emirates, Bangkok – Siam Paragon mall and in Narita Airport – Terminal 1, Tokyo . The flooring is a shiny black ceramic and the walls are made of large silver glass fiber and black glass panels. The ceiling is finished with panels of inox steel, to complement the stylised furniture fixtures and carbon fiber merchandising displays. One large video wall projecting the Autumn / Winter 2006-2007 collections illuminates the store and forms a backdrop for the clothes. The overall effect blends craftsmanship with modernity in an unexpected way and presents the perfect surrounding for the world of Emporio Armani.
Ezeiza airport is one of the key locations included in the Armani group’s ongoing “ Fast-track “ expansion programme in the duty free and travel retail marketplace.
With five freestanding Emporio Armani stores opened in the last two years at Rome’s Fiumicino airport, Zurich’s international airport, London - Heathrow – T3, guam’s Tumon Bay Gallery and in Tokyo’s Narita Airport – Terminal 1, the Armani group’s program of openings is now well underway.
