Profile
Armani has always wanted to create a very sleek and formal fashion line for his customers. Originally with a women’s fashion line, Armani branched out into men’s fashion soon afterward. His clothes are often reminiscent of the past, when gentlemen were proper and well dressed at all times. His philosophy can always be seen in his men’s suits, which are always free of frills or extra design. By being as “functional” as possible, they in turn become as fashionable as possible.

Biograhpy
Giorgio Armani began his career in the 1960’s working as an assistant to the then “Hitman” fashion label. Around 1971, Armani decided to branch out on his own and start performing freelance work on the side. He got the idea to form his own fashion line with a friend, Sergio Galeotti, and in 1975 the first Armani line hit the shelves. Armani, as a company, began by selling women’s clothing and it wasn’t until the 1980’s that Armani gained recognition. It is thought that Armani gained notoriety by designing clothing for the stars, particularly in movies. Eventually, the name became mainstream and Armani clothing became prominent on and off screen. Nowadays, Armani is focusing on a very sleek look that is both classy and modern.
