MILAN – Giorgio Armani is reprising his One Night Only events, planning to stage a fashion show in Venice, coinciding with the 80^th edition of the international Film Festival there.

The event is supposed to have a good time cinema – a lifelong passion of Armani’s.

An Armani Privé couture show will probably be held on Sept. 2 on the Arsenale, a storied complex of former shipyards and armories, followed by a night party. The designer’s couture show will probably be paraded commonly in Paris in July.

This can be a return to Venice for Armani, reaffirming his reference to the film festival, which began in 1990 with the world premiere of the documentary “Made in Milan” directed by Martin Scorsese, during which the designer discussed his creative process, his family and the role of the Italian city in his work. On the time, Armani held a celebration to honor Scorsese at Ca’ Leone on Giudecca.

Armani has forged a powerful link with Hollywood over time, providing his designs for cult feature movies, ranging from the 1980 hit “American Gigolo,” and on to “Casino Royale,” or “The Untouchables,” to call a couple of. He has dressed amongst a few of Hollywood A-listers on countless red carpets, from Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman to Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster, Sophia Loren and George Clooney. And the flicks in turn have often inspired his fashion collections, because the designer has often admitted his penchant for the production of movies from the ‘30s.

The celebration in September also includes the renewed partnership of Armani Beauty because the Foremost Sponsor of the Festival.

The One Night Only series has thus far hit London in 2006; Tokyo in 2007; Beijing in 2012; Rome and Recent York in 2013; Paris in 2014, and Dubai in 2021.

Armani has all the time matched the One Night Only events with a special fashion show, exhibition or store opening. For instance, in Paris in 2014 he paraded his spring Privé collection on the Palais de Tokyo, which was followed by an exhibition of couture dresses, accessories and jewellery titled “Eccentrico.” In Dubai, the occasion marked the tenth anniversary of his first hotel, situated throughout the Burj Khalifa.

Following on from previous events in Dubai and St. Moritz, One Night Only Venice 2023 has been specifically designed to have minimum environmental impact, in compliance with ISO 20121.

The Armani Group will offset all residual greenhouse gas emissions linked to the event by supporting environmental projects that aim to preserve the ecological equilibrium of the Venetian Lagoon and restore its ecosystem and biodiversity.

As well as, the Group has decided to make a donation to support the non-profit organization “We’re here in Venice,” which conducts research geared toward protecting the lagoon.
