Giorgio Armani

1934, Italy. An Italian designer, Giorgio Armani is known for his distinctive style of exquisitely beaded wears, designed to bring simplicity and modernity to the twentieth-century fashion industry. He dropped out of college after finishing his military service. The designer then worked at a renowned Milan department store. He eventually began working as a freelance designer for other firms with the support of a good friend called Sergio Galeotti. Later, in 1975, Giorgio Armani and Sergio Galeotti created their own company.

His designs were unique at the time, with a more casual fit and a soft colour palette. He only entered the American market in 1980, after his brand was successful in Europe. In addition, when celebrity Richard Gere wore Armani's clothes to the film American Gigolo (1980), it sparked a lot of curiosity in the designer. His works earned great popularity for his casual yet sophisticated style. Many leading actors and actresses also became an enthusiast of the Armani designs and wore them to many Academy Awards ceremonies. Giorgio Armani had more than 200 outlets internationally by the dawn of the 1990s. His business continued to grow, extending its offerings to publishing books and home products.

Armani also launched his haute couture collection for the first time in 2005. Find a range of Giorgio Armani ready-to-wear, leather goods, and accessories for sale at online auctions.
