Italian designer Giorgio Armani says he plans to consolidate his various collections under three labels as the fashion company undergoes an internal restructuring.

“There will only be three lines: Giorgio Armani, Emporio Armani and A|X Armani Exchange starting with the spring-summer 2018 season,” he says.

Armani Collezioni and Armani Jeans will be blended into the main three lines.
