Armani on Fifth

Length: 1:40

Just a few blocks from Central Park in New York City, in the center of one of the most famous shopping districts in the world, sits the American flagship store for one of the most well known clothing brands: Armani. One of the largest stores on 5th Avenue it can be clearly identifiable either day or night due to its elaborate exterior design.

The four-story behemoth, which takes up 43,000 square feet, opened its doors in February 2008. It was designed by the architecture firm of Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas (also responsible for the design of Armani stores in Hong Kong and Japan). There are two distinctive features that separates the 5th Avenue Armani store from the other fashion stores, one being the high-end restaurant that sits atop the store. It gives a reason for people to visit the store even if they are not particularly interested in shopping and it remains open after the retail part of the store, with an express elevator that runs to it after the rest of the store has closed. The other standout feature comes courtesy of the store’s architects, which being the spiral steel staircase sitting in the center that leads from the bottom floor to the restaurant at the top.

If the brand name, Armani were not enough to make this store worth visiting, these unique factor make the Armani store on 5th Avenue one of the top stores in New York City. Just the architectural aspect of the store alone makes it worth a visit, besides of course the clothing.
