Armarium Fall 2024 Ready-to-Wear

At Armarium the concept of care is a fusion of aesthetics and functionality. It can be seen in the attention to crucial details when observing the garments up close. To enter designer Giorgia Gabriele’s world, it is necessary to get closer. Armarium is born from what she wants in her own wardrobe. “Tailoring has always been the core of the project, but I had a feeling that something was missing,” she said. “Now I believe I have built an evolved wardrobe, where the function of the garments is as relevant as their appearance.” Her woman—who is not necessarily a woman, considering that many pieces seem borrowed from the male wardrobe and the designer is also working on her first men’s collection—rides a scooter in Milan and loves Lucio Fontana and Mark Rothko but is always looking for contemporary and niche artistic visions. Art, as well as architecture and design, is an influence that constantly flickers in Gabriele’s imagination. That’s why she chose Cardi Gallery, which specializes in postwar and contemporary art, for Armarium’s first dinner event and Dimorecentrale—a multifunctional creative space born in a former industrial warehouse—for her fall collection photo shoot.
