Armarium Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear

A meeting of tradition and contemporary icons: that’s how Giorgia Gabriele summarized her fall outing. “So far, this is the collection that feels the most like me, the one that truly reflects me as a woman,” said the designer. Season after season, Armarium succeeds in being a fusion of what its founder carries within and what women desire to express outwardly. Her women need to reclaim their femininity. That’s why they no longer draw from a masculine wardrobe but choose to present themselves to the world with an overtly feminine one, without losing that touch of androgyny that defines their aesthetic language. The collection was a tribute to cosmopolitan women, where the chicness of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy met the sophisticated atmosphere of the British countryside. “She had an elegance that was never ostentatious, she knew how to break the mold without making noise,” said Gabriele. “Inspired by her spontaneity, for the first time I let go; I embraced a less rational concept of minimalism.” In a photograph taken in New York in 1998, Bessette-Kennedy wore a white pencil skirt that left her ankles exposed, paired with a fitted black jacket featuring a mandarin collar emphasized by the buttoned-up front. Gabriele had never designed such a sleek, form-fitting jacket like the “Carolyn,” but she wanted that look to belong to anyone who resonated with its aesthetic.
