In addition to being one of the biggest fashion designers out there, Giorgio Armani takes on a devoted endeavour to support young creative talents. As such, he will be hosting the eleventh season of the Lucio Vanotti fashion show at his Armani/Teatro space during the upcoming Milan Men’s Fashion Week.

Bergamo-born Lucio Vanotti graduated from Instituto Marangoni in Milan. Setting himself apart from all designers with his rather rational and quintessential style, his designs wrap perfectly around the body of the wearer. The designer is a true believer of the useful-aesthetic combination.

Giorgio Armani commented: "For several years I supported the young talents that seem most promising in the Italian and international fashion panorama. Their enthusiasm, dedication, and creativity verged into an increasingly personal and heartfelt way always thrilling me. To Lucio Vanotti, the designer who I chose for this season, I wish a bright future, full of satisfaction.”

"Being given this opportunity by Giorgio Armani is a great recognition for me. My heartfelt thanks go to the one who, besides being a great example from a business point of view, is the inventor of an aesthetic code that everyone appreciates, that has deeply influenced me and in which I do recognize myself,” said Lucio Vanotti.
