What to know about Emporio Armani
The diffusion line, not the mainline
Launched in 1981 as Giorgio Armani's younger, more casual tier, sitting below the mainline in both price and formality, marked by the eagle emblem.
Soft tailoring, loosened up
The house code of unstructured, softly built jackets carries over, but arrives as relaxed blazers worn alongside denim, logo sweatshirts and sneakers.
Runway presence, accessory breadth
It shows on the Milan Fashion Week calendar and extends well past clothing into watches, eyewear and fragrance, all within the independent Armani Group.
How Emporio Armani fits
Overall fit
slightly small
Emporio Armani generally follows a slim Italian silhouette that many shoppers find runs slightly small, particularly across the chest and shoulders.
Tip: Consider sizing up if you prefer a relaxed fit or have a broader build, as the cut is slim through the chest and waist.

Brand facts
Emporio Armani is the contemporary line Giorgio Armani launched in 1981, with its first boutique in Milan and an eagle emblem as its mark. Positioned below the Giorgio Armani mainline, it reworks the house code of soft, unstructured tailoring into younger, more casual clothing: relaxed blazers, logo sweatshirts and tees, denim, sneakers, plus watches, eyewear and fragrance. It shows on the Milan Fashion Week calendar and remains part of the independent Armani Group, controlled by the Giorgio Armani Foundation after the founder died in September 2025.
