Armani Collezioni[edit]
Armani Collezioni (formerly Giorgio Armani Le Collezioni) is a sub-label. The line is more expensive than Armani Jeans and Armani Exchange, but less expensive than the high-end, ready-to-wear line Giorgio Armani and the haute couture line, Armani Priv, it has superior pricing and quality to Emporio Armani. The main difference between Emporio Armani and Armani Collezioni is that the former is more fashionable and aimed at a younger age group and the latter is a classic more elegant line aimed at an older more professional age group. The logo is a small "A" letter which is intricated in a bigger "G" letter, the "A" being part of the "G". This logo is rarely visible outside the clothes. It provides made-to-measure tailored suits and shirts where every element can be chosen. In addition to being sold in the two freestanding boutiques (which feature the Collezioni line exclusively) in Milan and Paris, Armani Collezioni is sold in high-end department stores including Holt Renfrew, Bloomingdale's, David Jones, Harvey Nichols, Harrods, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Armani Collezioni is now also available in a combined store housing Emporio Armani in Manchester England.
