ARMANI / CASA
Is barbecue with Giorgio Armani a reality or a pandemic fever dream ? Both . The designer ' s new collection for Armani / Casa was inspired by Armani ' s life in lockdown and celebrates being outdoors and having fun at home . This included an Armani-designed barbecue set , gym accessories , a picnic blanket-turned-chess board , and , naturally , a bar cabinet replete with mother of pearl wrapped in a Japanese tatami-like covering .
