“Giorgio Armani and I share a similar aesthetic creed. I admire him for the purity of his shapes, his mastery of detail and his colour palette. A line is still a line - whether traced by Matisse, by a fashion designer, or by a classical ballerina, the line is always what matters. To be concise, there are only two variations: a straight line and a curved line. The architectural construction of his lines conform with my own work as an artist”, remarks Robert Wilson.
The Giorgio Armani exhibition is sponsored by Swarovski and Crystallized™ Swarovski Elements. “Swarovski is thrilled by this opportunity to collaborate with the Triennale on their exhibition devoted to the work of Giorgio Armani. It has been a great honour to work with this visionary designer over many years and it is a source of pride that Swarovski crystals form such an integral part of his creations. Swarovski thanks Giorgio Armani for his unique contribution to the worlds of fashion and design,” declares Helmut Swarovski, CEO of Swarovski.
