With deep respect, we remember Giorgio Armani (1934–2025), who passed away on September 4, 2025. In addition to revolutionizing global fashion, Armani also left an indelible mark on the Carabinieri uniforms.

In 1998, the Army entrusted Armani with the task of redesigning the standard uniform: the result was an elegant, modern, and functional uniform, in black, which replaced the previous shades. It was not just an aesthetic matter: Armani studied the cut, fabrics, and details to ensure comfort, practicality, and authority, without losing the historical features of the Army.

Some curiosities:

• The famous red stripe on the trousers, a distinctive symbol of the Carabinieri, was maintained as a historical and identity element.
• The project involved real samples and practical simulations, so that the uniform would be suitable for all operational conditions.
• Armani himself stated that the design had to convey authority, discipline, and modernity, fundamental values of the Corps.

An extraordinary example of how tradition, institution, and style can come together, transforming a uniform into a true national symbol.
