This Giorgio Armani piece from the 1990s represents a time when the brand intentionally moved away from the power shoulders and exaggerated silhouettes of the 80s, shifting clothing from a "structure" to an "extension of the body."
This jacket is a perfect example of this transitional period, moving towards maturity.

The fabric is primarily soft wool.
It's in line with the lightweight and flexible materials that Armani repeatedly used throughout his collections at the time. While retaining the fullness of the wool, the addition of viscose for fluidity and nylon for lightness and durability allowed for material selection that "didn't rely on tailoring to create the shape."

Furthermore, the reversible construction integrates two layers of fabric. The presence of seams is minimized as much as possible, achieving an appearance that doesn't feel constructed, and an incredibly light feel when worn.

The large LAMPO zipper on the front, and the design that leaves a margin without extending to the hem, are intended to intentionally blur the boundaries between tailoring and a blouson. The shoulders have a natural drape that doesn't rely on padding, embodying the "relaxed elegance" common in the collections of the time.

The stand-up collar design with buttons is not for displaying functionality, but rather to quietly allow for versatility in styling.

This is an archive piece that clearly reflects the quiet, introspective luxury that Giorgio Armani presented in the 90s.
