Giorgio Armani’s Mare campaign isn’t just a collection, it’s a way of life
Giorgio Armani's Mare collection takes to the seas once more a cinematic coastal odyssey from Porto Cervo to Mykonos, as fluid and sun-drenched as the destinations that inspired it.
It’s that time of year again. While other brands are debuting their Cruise, Resort and pre-summer collections, Giorgio Armani presents Mare: a coastal fashion odyssey. Presented as a journey rather than just a collection, Mare is a living, breathing fashion campaign in totality.
This year, Mare has travelled from the Superyacht Regatta in Porto Cervo to Cannes, before continuing to Forte dei Marmi and concluding in Mykonos; all sites where Armani was hosting pop-ups or opening new stores. The location for the campaign imagery itself added yet another destination to the roster: Villa Cimbrone in Ravello.
The collection is as cinematic as the backdrop. Characterised by fluid silhouettes and luxurious materials, it’s escapism in its purest form. From fresh corals and lavenders to muted blues and neutral hues, it encapsulates the architecture and landscape of Ravello. Alongside linen shirts, open-back dresses and waistcoats, the 2026 Mare collection also heralds a new arrival to the Giorgio Armani portfolio: t-shirts inspired by past and present Mare tour destinations. Spanning both womenswear and menswear, the t-shirts aren’t touristic souvenirs, but iconographic reminders of the tour’s relevance in the cultural zeitgeist.
The Mare collection is also a reminder of the Armani Group’s collaboration with the non-profit One Ocean Foundation. Having forged the allyship at Porto Cervo (where this year’s tour began) in 2023, the partnership is dedicated to championing the regeneration of ecosystems and biodiversity, and is an ode to the sustainability of the Mare collection.
