Giorgio Armani is pleased to announce the opening of an Emporio Armani store in Zagreb.  Located in Frana Petric 5 in Zagreb, Croatia, the new retail space covers over 338 square metres on two  floor with 4  windows.  

Much more than a fashion boutique, the new store embodies Giorgio Armani’s vision of the urban cosmopolitan spirit that Emporio Armani represents.  The store offers the complete Emporio Armani lifestyle collection for men and women including formal wear, casual wear, 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  London – Brompton road, Seoul – Korea, Bangkok – Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand, Taipei – Taiwan, Milano – Malpensa Airport and Baku – Azerbaijan.

the walls feature black glass which contrast with walls in shiny marmorino. the ceiling features shining stainless steel panels. The flooring is made of black glossy ceramic while a titanium fabric underlines the  accessories areas. Minimal displays in black glass finalize the environment. The external windows, framed by black glass, feature one large screen projecting the Spring / Summer 2007collections and 3 big backlit images.
