Globally renowned designer Giorgio Armani kicked off the special night with an Armani Privé haute couture show, which took place at the Arsenale – the ancient complex of shipyards and workshops that reside in the eastern corner of Venice. Against the backdrop of the Tese delle Nappe, guests including the iconic Sophia Loren got a first look at Armani’s latest offerings, which were inspired by the beauty of Venice.

The soundtrack for the show was equally exciting – Armani’s models sauntered down the runway to the tune of The Four Seasons, by Venice’s very own Antonio Vivaldi.
In true Armani fashion, One Night Only Venezia continued on post show with a thriving party attended by close to 700 guests. Roísín Murphy lit up the night with a musical performance, while DJ Mark Ronson carried the celebration on into the wee hours of the morning. What’s more, One Night Only Venezia 2023 was designed by Armani to have minimum environmental impact, in compliance with ISO 20121, just like previous editions in Dubai and St Moritz.

To celebrate the movie’s world premiere, the designer hosted a grand party for Scorsese at Ca’ Leone on Giudecca. Since then, Giorgio Armani has also dressed countless actors and directors for their big VFF red carpet moments.
