ONE NIGHT ONLY DUBAI

Giorgio Armani returns to Dubai after eleven years of absence to celebrate, with a One Night Only act, the tenth anniversary of the opening of the Armani hotels in Milan and Dubai. The event will take place in conjunction with Expo 2020, the World’s Fair inaugurated on 1 October.

"The Expo has always been a moment of stimulus for human inventiveness: I saw it first-hand in Milan, in conjunction with the inauguration of the Silos. Now I'm in Dubai: at the Expo again, but with the opportunity to celebrate ten years of my hotels with a special One Night Only event. I’m happy and proud to be here today: the Middle East is the cradle of a new concept of luxury, synonymous with continuous evolution and experimentation that still draw on the roots and the magic of a rich, deep culture to give life to a new creative energy", said Giorgio Armani.

One Night Only Dubai, to be held this evening at the Armani Hotel Pavilion, will open with the Giorgio Armani Men's and Women's Spring/Summer 2022 runway show and a selection of Armani Privé Haute Couture looks from the Fall/Winter 2021/22 Shine collection. The show will be followed with a cocktail dinatoire after party , and the evening will culminate with a special live performance by Coldplay’s Chris Martin. After the launch on October 15th of Music of the Spheres, the band's new album, Martin will play exclusively in front of more than 400 guests.

On the occasion of the event, a temporary Giorgio Armani pop-up, open until 5 November, has been set up inside the Dubai Mall, carrying a selection of bags from the La Prima line, including some models dedicated to Dubai. The special Giorgio Armani men's and women's spring/summer 2022 ready-to-wear selection is available in the boutique located within the same Mall.

One Night Only Dubai has been conceived to minimise the impact on the environment in accordance with ISO 20121. The Armani Group plans not to use single-use plastic, to avoid food-waste, to favour the rental of equipment and set-up material, to incentive the reuse and recycling of materials, to promote separate waste collection and the use of hybrid or electric cars and LED lighting. Suppliers will also be required to comply with specific social and environmental clauses. The Armani Group will support nature-based solutions projects to offset the event-related residual GHG’s emissions and will commit to continuing to reduce its environmental impact.

One Night Only is the traveling event that brings the Armani universe to the most important cities in the world. Six cities have been visited so far: London in 2006, Tokyo in 2007, Beijing in 2012, Rome and New York in 2013 and Paris in 2014.
