Giorgio Armani and Kith are taking their collaboration to the desert for Fall/Winter 2026. Titled “Dreams of the Dune,” the third chapter of the partnership brings together relaxed Italian tailoring, premium outerwear, and desert-inspired colorways, alongside special footwear and headwear collaborations with ASICS, Diemme, and ’47.
The collection debuted on October 9th at a sunset runway show in Morocco’s Agafay Desert, south of Marrakech. Set against an arid landscape, the presentation followed a palette that moved from black and deep blue through burnt earth and brown before arriving at sand, greige, gray, and icy white.
Kith’s Founder, CEO, and Creative Director Ronnie Fieg cites Armani’s late-’80s Sahara Desert collection and campaign as inspiration and the foundation for the entire collaboration. He worked with Giorgio Armani to revisit the house’s signature silhouettes through a contemporary lens. Soft shoulders, deconstructed construction, and generous proportions anchor the lineup, while textured fabrics and layered styling give the collection a more rugged edge.
Outerwear takes the spotlight, with a belted shearling jacket, a two-tone lambskin utility jacket, and a lambskin suede blouson among the key pieces. Shearling blousons and aviator-inspired jackets expand the selection, with some styles produced in exceptionally limited quantities. Elsewhere, wide-leg trousers and cargo pants in virgin wool, cashmere, and hemp bring a utilitarian element to the otherwise tailored wardrobe.
The collection also includes cotton twill shirts, technical jersey layers, dune-inspired prints, and knitwear designed for versatile layering. A reversible sweater blouson, belted virgin wool shirt, and collarless cashmere blazer with matching trousers reinforce the softer side of Armani’s tailoring, while graphic tees and embroidered sweatshirts introduce Kith’s more casual sensibility. Scarves, gloves, hats, leather goods, and eyewear complete the offering.
The collaboration extends beyond apparel through three partnerships that bring longtime Kith collaborators into Giorgio Armani’s orbit for the first time.
First up is ASICS, with the three brands presenting the GEL-MAI 0.1 in two colorways. “Quarry” combines pigskin suede with hairy suede overlays, while “Safari” pairs pigskin suede with nubuck. Both feature Giorgio Armani and Kith co-branding, alternating Kith and ASICS logos at the heel, and “Dreams of the Dune” artwork on the sockliner. The sneakers will be exclusive to Kith’s retail locations, website, and app.
Diemme brings five boot styles into the collection, combining its handcrafted Italian construction with materials and finishes suited to the collection’s earthy palette. The lineup includes the low-top Ampezzo in tobacco suede, the shearling-lined Stefano in sand suede, the wool-and-leather New Tirol Wing with brogue detailing, the Winchester Mid in dark brown nubuck, and the shearling-lined Alpini in leather and suede. All five feature Vibram soles, co-branded emblems, additional laces, and custom packaging.
Rounding out the collaborative lineup, Ronnie Fieg reunites with ’47 for a nine-piece headwear capsule spanning the Franchise LS fitted cap, adjustable Classic cap, and SL Hitch cap. Italian wool, cashmere, lambskin leather, and duck canvas give the familiar silhouettes a more elevated finish. Each style features an embroidered New York Yankees logo, Giorgio Armani branding, Ronnie Fieg for ’47 detailing, and an embossed leather Giorgio Armani & Kith patch.
