Armani 5th Ave

Had a great experience today with Mr Dino /​man department. He followed us for some suit. He was discreet, knowledgeable and just great. Did we mentioned patient?
Highly recommended.

Very good store. Salesman inside was very kind. Most of the clothing is really quality stuff. The prices are obviously very high, but it’s Armani. Nevertheless, the price of sunglasses I bought there last time got reduced in a week by 70 $. That’s a lot for 1 week and Armani shades.

The store is beautiful, particularly the staircase, and the selection is great. Let’s get that out of the way first.
The first time I walked in, I happened to be dressed well — custom suit, SF shoes, etc. I walked in and the sales guys swarmed me as I looked at a handful of laptop bags. I had a few other stores to check out, and then I went back and changed before making my decision.
So I walk in a couple of hours later, this time in jeans and a button down, perhaps looking a bit like a tourist. Despite the bored staff and no customers, every one ignored me until it was actually a little uncomfortable. I actually enjoyed buying the bag because they looked shocked that such a lowly creature could possibly afford to be in their store.
So, I guess if you want to check out a nice staircase and you happen to be wearing a suit, it’s awesome!

Love the atmosphere here. The staircase is amazing! The inside of the store is like a work of art. The staff here were also great & they’re also very friendly. We love this place.

We had made our reservation 2 weeks prior going to the armani restaurant. It was my girlffriends 25^th b-​day and they canceled the reservation 15 minutes prior to our arrival. The restaurant was empty and boring and i am happy that they did cancel or I wouldve done it myself

Great store. Nice Restaurant inside too. The store features HIGH end, TOP shelf Armani items and occasional Sticker Shock. But, high fashion and high quality make it one of the best. My only negative is that they were quite slow on a recent return I sent them back. Otherwise, these guys are high quality NY Fashion. Very smart staff.

Wow is this store aesthetically pleasing or what! he inside of this store is a work of art, in fact it looks like the inside of the Guggenheim! It;s really a work of art in which you can buy things to wear!
I thought that this store was very well laid out and it definitely has a bit of sexiness to it. I LOVED the staircase, it’s really quite fantastic!
The bags are stunning and the mens clothing is great! Staff are friendly but still give you time to wander through this lovely work of art.

While a baby’s first word tends to be: mama or dada, I suspect mine was «Armani» :-)Have been a fan of this designer’s classy and timeless style for as long as I can think «fashion». I moved to New York some years ago and stumbled across the Armani store on 5^th Ave last year. Wow, there it was! The label and sub-​labels gathered under ONE roof, ready to be admired by ascending a heavenly stylish staircase. I now ‘pay’ the store a visit every couple of months and invariably exit carrying a bag containing a number of divine clothing items. Let me rephrase that: I leave with Ms Michelle Holmes, a shop associate, carrying my bag (s) to the main entrance door. Sure, my main reason for purchasing garments there is because I love Armani. However, to a significant extent, I also do so because of Michelle’s extraordinary service skills: highly professional, attentive, expresses her honest opinion, gives valuable advice etc. Short of being very wealthy, which I’m not, given the price tags, it’s not the kind of store where you want to make ‘mistakes’ or be advised by a pushy, uncaring assistant.
I’m certain the rest of the staff are very competent as well, but Michelle happened to be the one tending to me on my first visit there and I’ve come to rely on her assistance and judgment. Talk about the importance of first impressions! Thank you, Michelle. Giorgio is lucky to have staff like you.
P. S. The staircase is so aesthetically pleasing, keeping it in pristine condition should be important to the management. Hint, hint.

The atmosphere is amazing. Most of the clothes were not to my taste. The variety is extreme; from old lady at the office to rockstar motorcycle chick. However, when i did find a leather jacket I liked, store associate David Amsdell was amazing! He knew exactly what size and he brought it out in a different color that he thought I would like. He was right! My new blue leather jacket is my favorite piece in my entire wardrobe! Thanks David!

Beautiful store. Great clothing. Very good service.
It feels like the mothership. Definitely a little Sc-​fi. I love the staircase.

Came here while i was in town for my brother’s graduation. Wanted to get a belt with an Armani belt buckle on it. The woman helping me was super hot and really friendly. Belt ended up costing me $ 600 but looked unbelievable on me so of course I ended up getting it. Started looking around and ended up getting a custom fitted pair of jeans that ran me $ 300, a white dress shirt and a nice black tie. Total bill — $ 1800. Went in for a belt and came out with much more. Anyways, I waited at the Armani restaurant while they did my jeans. 2 weeks later, got a hand written letter from the girl who helped me, thanking me and wishing me the best. Now that is quality service.

it feels strange to rate Armani with 3 stars after a long slew of 5 star ratings…
The BF and I were strolling in to Armani looking to revamp his look: basically, I hate his clothes and he needs an update from ugly to sexy– ASAP*.
This store is super sexy. Every inch is scrawled in raw sex-​appeal. The walls are practically whispering in your ear, «buy armani: be sexy, be bad». I love this store because it also has the restaurant portion upstairs. This is just sheer excellence/​brillance**.
But why the 3 star rating, you ask?
Its all due to the poor/​semi-​nonexistent service. BF and i walked though the store for a WHILE and no one came to help. It wasnt until we explored the whole store, were dizzied up by the hammeringly huge selection and were about to turn around to head out did a sales associate suggest a jacket for him. Unfortunately, that sales dude just seemed a tad pushy by reminding us twice how the jacket BF is trying on is the last in the whole store and get it now while you still have a chance! Dude, if we don’t like the jacket, just chill. Later, that same associate came back with another jacket… yet another jacket that we didn’t like. Dude, can’t you tell your style isn’t our style? Quit yo’ pushy ways, man.
In the end, we didn’t buy anything from the store, but charged up a load of dollaz by boozin’ it up at the restaurant***.

*you may consider me harsh, but I’m the one dating him, not you. Furthermore, he lost a bit of weight so his clothes just hang on him… new wardrobe is a must!
**Are you a man shopping with your sweetie? Is that cute sweetie of your taking her long ass time to shop while you’re just getting a headache from thinking about signing that credit card receipt? Well, go up stairs and order yourself a drink. oh? she’s taking so long that your stomach is starting to growl too? go on, look at the menu some more. order some thing to eat while you’re at it.
***totally worth it

That staircase, that service, the sex appeal.
I’ve got to try that restaurant one day. Everything is beautifully designed. i came in determined not to spend a dime and found myself contemplating a $ 1K jacket.

Ok. I admit it. I am and have been a fan for some time.
This is the Armani store to visit in NYC. They have it all. Men, women, food, home… EVERYTHING.
What I like best about this store (and every other Armani store) is their superior customer service. As many of you know, some boutique shops do not have the best customer service. They may profile you and decide you are not their focus consumer (SO WHAT IF I LIKE TO LOOK AT LADY BAGS! I COULD BE A TRANNY FOR ALL YOU KNOW. OR AS IT IS, I AM BUYING A BAG FOR MY MOM)…sorry. Had to get it out.

They are nice when you buy and awful when you want to return or exchange. The next time I want to spend to more than is reasonable on something silly, I’ll go elsewhere.

Although I’m not usually a big Armani fan, I am a fan of this store. Each Armani label is available here, which is nice because I can see everything together. Best of all, Armani 5^th Ave has their sweets and teas. The staff are helpful and I didn’t find them pushy at all.
If you cannot afford the clothes, it is still worth a visit. Their staircase is a piece of art.

Amazing store. I can’t come CLOSE to buying clothes here, so I come to merely admire, not so much the clothes but the space. Absolutely beautiful and a fun place to take visitors from out of town when you’re out playing.

Une nouvelle boutique en plein 5^th avenue! il le fallait, Armani l’a fait. Né vous étonnez pas d’y rencontrer les plus grandes stars au détour d’un rayon si elles né privatisent pas la boutique pour faire leur shopping! Du chic, du glamour! What else?

Brand new Armani Concept in New York City… I say pretty cool and ambitious!
Love the idea of having all of Mr. Armani’s creations all cram into the center of New York City…
Ok so the store is nice when you walk-​in, it looks huge. When you walk towards the back of the store… locates a sculptural new-​tech staircase that wraps around the entire back area extruding all levels.
The whole store is mostly black but the stair case is white… guess its a play on white and black… very Armani!
The only thing is if you are going to make something this grand showpiece/​center piece of the store i expect a lot more…
When you walk up the staircase and look, there are cracks on the steps and you can see the cement and a whole lot of other junk — unattractive!!! I think this calls for touch-​up work.
The egress of the stair case itself can be a bit tight — when you are going one way and someone is going another way its almost a hazard to pass by — :(
I would say the best part of the store is the staff — they greet you and say bye to you, they do not jump down your throat for a sale. Always smiling (in that non creepy fake smile way) — but i cant just give 5 stars for a smile.
They also have a place to have lunch/​dinner on the top floor. Love the concept. The prices on the menu seems reasonable… I will rate it once I have a chance to try it.
