This New Megayacht from Giorgio Armani Is the Height of Luxury
More than 600 black tie–clad guests were welcomed last weekend to Marina di Carrara, Italy, the headquarters of the Italian Sea Group, for the unveiling of a new 236-foot-long Admiral megayacht. The twist? The ship is one of two designed by none other than Giorgio Armani, developed by the Armani team in collaboration with the Admiral Style Center. While the partnership was announced two years ago, the yacht itself won’t be completed until 2024—though it does already have a buyer.
To commemorate the occasion, Mr. Armani himself presented the brand’s spring/summer 2023 men’s and women’s collections on a specially designed runway in the shadow of the steel hull of the ship. (That’s more than 100 looks to take you from day to night while you’re cruising between ports on the Mediterranean, for those wondering.) “The sea and design are two of my greatest passions,” said the chairman and CEO of the Armani group, who has a holiday home in the nearby town of Forte dei Marmi, in a release. “With this new collaboration, I have extended my idea of furnishing and decor to the nautical world, applying the same craftsmanship to the choice of materials, details, and production.”
With only renderings available at press time, we’re left to surmise details of the Armani/Casa–appointed interiors: deep, L-shaped sofas for lounging; a sumptuous palette of gold and tweedy beige; recessed strip lighting to cast an omnipresent flattering glow. If the rest of the debut event was any indication—capped off as it was by live entertainment and a seated multicourse dinner by Michelin-starred chef Enrico Cerea of Da Vittorio—this super-yacht’s owners are in supremely capable hands.
