Armani Exchange

Located right in the heart of Collins Avenue, Armani Exchange is the more affordable line by couture designer Giorgio Armani. The line remains true to the Emporio Armani standard offering demure cuts and sleek designs, but the difference is you can get a pair of jeans for around $100 here. The Armani approach is never too flashy, but always undeniably cool. One of our favorite things about this store (besides the clothes of course) is the beautiful line of accessories. Everything from messenger bags (for guys or girls) to small beaded purses to thick red leather lace-up bracelets (watch for this stuff to go on sale because it's a steal). Even at 11:00 a.m. the music is pumping and surprisingly enough the incredibly attractive staff is very friendly and attentive. Who knew?
