The Kith and Giorgio Armani collaboration hits keep coming.
On the heels of Martin Scorsese‘s high-profile debut in the campaign as “The Artist,” LaKeith Stanfield joins the ranks as “The Entertainer,” modeling a series of luxe looks for the one-of-a-kind collection which marks the first collaboration for the house of Armani.
“As both an actor and musician, Mr. Stanfield’s charismatic and versatile performances have been lauded by critics and audiences alike, making him the epitome of an entertainer,” Kith says in a statement about casting Stanfield, whose credits include Atlanta, The Harder They Fall, The Book of Clarence and Judas and the Black Messiah. “LaKeith is also well-regarded for his personal style — a trait synonymous with being an entertainer.”

Open Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m., the space is located at 170 East 80th St. on the city’s Upper East Side.
