Emporio Armani
In October, the Armani Group opened its first Chicago outpost of Emporio Armani, a modern and contemporary line of clothing and accessories by Giorgio Armani. The 6,000-square-foot space houses women’s on the first level — you can’t miss the glistening wall of shoes and handbags as well as a beauty counter for on-site makeup applications — and the men’s collection on the second floor.
Emporio Armani, 25 East Oak Street (between Rush Street and Michigan Avenue); 312-573-4220.
