Kith Founder Says Brand Will Collaborate With Armani on Suiting

Ronnie Fieg is embarking on one of his biggest collaborations to date.

The Kith designer revealed on Wednesday on his Instagram that his brand is joining forces with Giorgio Armani on a “suiting project.” Fieg stated this is the first time Armani has collaborated with another brand on a collection.

“To say Mr. Armani is an icon would be an understatement,” Fieg wrote, sharing a photo of him with Armani. “As a creative and entrepreneur, he is my North Star. His perspective on fashion changed the way the world chose to dress. He founded his own brand and built it into an empire that he still retains 100 percent control of 49 years later. He set the impossibly high standard that I push myself to reach every day.”

Fieg said his conversations with Armani started more than a year ago and that he felt Kith was ready for this kind of collaboration after four years of creating suits under the brand.

“The team and I were invited to Milan to present an idea on what a collaborative project could look like, and we took it very seriously,” Fieg said. “Rather than a presentation or a deck, with the help of my team, I put a book together. I had the honor to take Mr. Armani through this book and share my vision with him on what Kith and Giorgio Armani could look like. Fast forward to today…where I’m proud to announce that this dream has become a reality.”

More details on the collaboration are expected in the coming week.
