Giorgio Armani Menswear Spring-Summer 2003

The Spring-Summer 2003 menswear collection explores a harmonious dialogue between Western aesthetics and distant influences, creating a men’s wardrobe defined by flowing lines and a relaxed fit. Traditional European tailoring silhouettes—single- and double-breasted jackets, pleated trousers, knee-length coats—are reinterpreted through the addition of formal details drawn from other traditions, such as mandarin collars, high-necked paisley tunics, printed waistcoats worn over bare skin, concealed fastenings, and asymmetrical cuts.

The materials are light and soft: linens, fluid cottons, matte crepe de chine, jersey-effect silks, and technical blends of wool and polyester. The colour palette ranges between neutral and dusty tones. The overall effect conveys a casual elegance that prioritizes lightness, movement, and a seamless continuity between formal and informal pieces.
