When it comes to prominent Italian fashion designers, Giorgio Armani is easily one the most successful and influential around. Armani started his fashion empire in 1975 with a ready-to-wear men’s apparel line. A year later he introduced a collection women. Both collections offered clean tailored lines with architectural design influence.
The designer was catapulted to worldwide popularity 1980, when his tailored men’s suits were worn by actor Richard Gere in the film American Gigolo. Several years later in 1984, Armani outfitted actors Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas in the highly visual television series Miami Vice.
Armani soon became one of the most-sought after and respected designers. His men’s suits are considered a symbol of success and are widely worn by business professionals, executives and film stars alike. The designer’s women’s fashions have also taken a starring role on the red carpets of many events and have been worn by Jodi Foster, Kate Blanchett and Lady Gaga.
In 1991 the designer introduced Armani Exchange, a youthful and trendy lifestyle bridge collection for men and women…more modern and less formal than the structured and classic eponymous line. The Armani Exchange or A/X Collection as it commonly known remains at the fashion forefront today for its innovative characteristics and cutting-edge designs.
