Armani Exchange recently teamed up with the legendary band SmileyWorld to launch the commemorative A|X x Smiley collaboration for Fall/Winter 2022.
Available now from the Armani Exchange website, the A|X x Smiley collection features a series of T-shirts, bomber jackets, parkas, sweatshirts, and accessories that all feature a clever take on the signature Smiley logo. The new version features the iconic yellow and circular smiley face, but the eyes have been replaced with the A|X logo. Some items also feature a smiley face with Giorgio Armani’s glasses and smile added for a wholly unique take on the classic emoticon.
With everything from shirts to bucket hats and beanies, the new A|X x Smiley collection is perfect for those looking for a standout piece.
