Giorgio Armani x Kith "Dreams of the Dune" – the brands' third collaboration

Giorgio Armani and Kith have announced their third collaborative project. The “Dreams of the Dune” collection combines the mature tailoring of the Italian fashion house with the American brand’s modern approach to the men’s wardrobe. The collection’s debut was hosted on October 9th during a runway show in the Agafay Desert near Marrakech.

The new offering may interest both luxury fashion enthusiasts and those following contemporary streetwear. The project is not limited to individual products but creates a complete wardrobe, including apparel, accessories, leather goods, and footwear. For collectors, it is another example of how the line between formal style and everyday street fashion is becoming increasingly blurred.

What You Need to Know About the “Dreams of the Dune” Collection

The inspiration for the collaboration came from desert landscapes, light, and the colors of sun-warmed earth. The palette transitions from black and deep navy through dark browns and rusty red to sandy beiges, greige, grays, and icy white. This color scheme gives the collection a calm, sophisticated character.

At the center of the offering are belted shearling jackets, two-tone lambskin utility jackets, and suede blousons. Giorgio Armani’s signature soft shoulder lines, unstructured cuts, and relaxed proportions have been filtered through Kith’s design language. The result is a wardrobe that balances elegance with practicality.

Materials and Silhouettes

The collection utilizes materials such as leather, suede, silk, cotton, viscose, virgin wool, cashmere, and hemp. Complementing the core elements are suit trousers, cargo pants, reversible sweater blousons, short-sleeve knitwear, cashmere sets, graphic T-shirts, and embroidered hoodies.

Selected prints reference dunes shaped by the wind. The desert landscape motif also appears in the accessories: scarves, gloves, headwear, eyewear, travel gear, and leather goods. The project’s consistency ensures that “Dreams of the Dune” functions as a full collection rather than just a seasonal capsule.

Special Projects with ASICS, Diemme, and ’47

An important part of the collaboration includes additional projects prepared with ASICS, Diemme, and ’47. A common denominator remains the subdued color palette and the artisanal approach seen in the main Giorgio Armani x Kith line.

• The ASICS GEL-MAI 0.1 appears in “Quarry” and “Safari” colorways, crafted from materials including pigskin suede, nubuck, and long-hair suede.
• Diemme has prepared five footwear models utilizing leather, suede, and shearling linings.
• ’47 presents nine styles of headwear made from wool, cashmere, lambskin, and canvas.

Special attention is drawn to the ASICS GEL-MAI 0.1 sneakers, which feature both main partners’ branding on the sides, tongues, and heels. Their construction aligns with the current trend where technical athletic footwear is gaining a more luxurious aesthetic.

Why Is This Release Important?

Giorgio Armani x Kith “Dreams of the Dune” demonstrates that contemporary men’s fashion is increasingly building its strength on a dialogue between tradition and everyday life. Armani brings expertise in tailoring and materials to the project, while Kith lends the whole endeavor a more modern, urban rhythm.

For the street fashion market, the expansion of the collaboration to include footwear and accessories is also significant. These items often allow for the integration of luxury inspirations into daily outfits without the need to assemble a complete formal set.
