In February 2022, during Milan Fashion Week, Giorgio Armani decides to show his Giorgio Armani womenswear and menswear collections without music as a sign of respect towards the people involved in the Ukrainian conflict. The Group joins the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) fundraising initiative for people forced to flee. In addition, a donation of basic necessities destined for refugees is announced and distributed through the Community of Sant’Egidio and through the Italian Red Cross. A further donation was made in favor of the fund set up by the Municipality of Milan and intended for the reception of refugees, with particular attention to women and children.
