Emporio Armani Faux-Snake Dual-Zip Jacket

Giorgio Armani founded Armani in 1975 and began presenting ready-to-wear collections until the early 1980s when the first diffusion lines were created. Emporio Armani & Armani Jeans were both launched in 1981 with the aim of dividing the different design approaches and styles into clear diffusion lines. The Emporio line aimed to produce a more ‘fashion-forward’ selection of garments that carry the same principles and qualities of the main line, with more unique design approaches. The popularity of this line grew rapidly through the '80s & '90s, becoming one of the leaders of the high-fashion industry by the 2000s. 

This particular piece from the 2010 season is a perfect example of the way Emporio Armani was able to showcase more unique design approaches. The faux-snake pvc exterior blends high-fashion with technical design with the use of a dual-zip panel that can be removed. There are standard hand pockets, a chest pocket and an interior compartment. 

Good overall condition with some signs of wear.
