Giorgio Armani ‘Borgonuovo 21’ Iridescent Wool-Lined Jacket - 1980s

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 clear individual lines that showcased different styles. The Emporio Armani 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 rare piece from the late 1980s era was made under the the highly sought after ’Borgonuovo 21’ label, which typically produced pieces with an unparralleled cut and finish, optimal attention to detail and incredible materials. This piece is constructed from an iridescent green nylon-blend material and features an inserted wool layer on the interior for warmth. There are 2 standard hand-pockets, a chest pocket and an interior stash pocket. 

Great condition with some signs of wear and age.
