Brief History
Giorgio Armani, the legendary Italian designer, launched his brand in 1975 and quickly changed the fashion landscape with his sleek, modern approach to menswear. Known for his sharp tailoring and understated elegance, Armani built a global empire that extends from fashion to fragrance and beyond, embodying timeless sophistication.
If you remember the first edition of Horizon (shoutout the OG’s) we discussed Kith and its partnership with BMW. But if you are new here, here is a quick rundown of Kith. Founded in 2011 by Ronnie Fieg, began as a sneaker and streetwear boutique in New York City and quickly grew into a global brand known for its unique blend of street culture and high fashion.
Since 1975, Armani has never partnered with another brand to create a collection, Kith being the first. Around a year ago today, the two started talks to create a line of suits.
The Four Archetypes:
The base of the foundation of the collab is titled: The Archetype.
The collection includes four Archetypes: Four people from diverse backgrounds come together, united by the timeless elegance of wearing a Giorgio Armani suit. The four are: The Artist, The Entertainer, The Traveler, and The Entrepreneur.
The Artist: The Artist, a creative enthusiast with a discerning eye for aesthetics, curates every detail of his wardrobe to inspire and support his creative process.
The Entertainer: The Entertainer, impeccably dressed and effortlessly charming, captivates every venue with his magnetic presence and leaves a memorable impression on everyone he meets.
The Traveler: The Traveler, a global citizen fueled by curiosity, exudes an eclectic yet elegant style, always impeccably dressed for any destination.
The Entrepreneur: The Entrepreneur, known for his intuitive and risk-taking nature, sets his own business style rules with a distinctive flair that highlights his unique approach to success.
Future:
The collab, as of writing this, only released their first archetype, The Artist. They launched this collab with the one and only Martin Scorsese. Releasing a sharp black-on-black suit that fits the great director.
Here at Horizon, we can’t wait to see the full collab unfold.
Growth
“A Bolt of Lightning” - How Usain Bolt Masters Ambition and Success.
Jamaican Born
Born in 1986 in the quaint town of Sherwood Content, Jamaica, Usain Bolt's journey to becoming the fastest man in the world began. He grew up with two loving parents, Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt.
From an early age, Bolt was obsessed with any type of sport. "When I was young, I didn't really think about anything other than sports." The majority of his youth, Bolt played cricket and Football. By the age of twelve, Bolt had already distinguished himself as the fastest runner in his school in the 100-meter.
“Competition is the Easy Part.”
Usain Bolt is a big believer in the importance of grinding and getting shit done no matter who is looking. “The work is behind the scenes.” is a quote that Bolt often repeats to himself and others throughout his training. Bolt puts in the time and effort when no one is watching to be able to break records when the world is watching.
Patience is another virtue that Bolt holds highly in his success.
“I trained 4 years to run 9 seconds, and people give up when they don't see results in 2 months.”
Let that sink in. 4 years of hard work, dedication, consistency, blood, sweat, tears, you name it…for 9 seconds. 126,144,000 seconds for 9 seconds, but a lifetime of success and a world record for who knows how long.
