these products under several labels Giorgio Armani Privé, Giorgio

will close two of its fashion labels, Armani Collezioni and Armani

Armani Collezioni will merge back into the Giorgio Armani line, Armani
Jeans will be mixed with the Emporio Armani line due to their
similarities in styles and the use of the same brand logo.
