As soon I was i found out that Armani Silos, a four story museum that features Giorgio Armani’s work since the 1980s, I was determined to go. It was originally not part of the class agenda to visit Armani Silos, so I figured I would probably have to drag one of my roommates to go with me during the weekend. However, due to last minute changes in our schedule, I was able to visit Armani Silos with my entire class.
The morning of our visit to Armani Silos, I woke up with butterflies in my stomach. It was so nice that I was able to go with our Design in Context group because I didn’t have to work out any logistics on location, tickets, or getting a private tour.
Armani/Silos did not disappoint and I’ll admit I tried extremely hard to not cry. I was just so excited and overwhelmed with beauty! My favorite section of the museum was the accessory section. The room featured gray walls with three long tables lit in a way that they appeared to be glowing. On the three tables there were hundreds of dazzling accessories. It completely blew me away! If only my closet looked like that! My favorite garments from the museum included a black velvet dress that was at the front of the museum, a blood-orange sequined gown from Armani’s F/W 1993 collection, and a floral strapless gown with pale blue embroidery. Visiting Armani/Silos was such an incredible opportunity. I had to to just take a minute to remind myself that I was in MILAN viewing some of Giorgio Armani’s most beautiful work. I’m so grateful for this course and all the opportunities it has provided me!
