Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani, an iconic Italian fashion designer known for his menswear, began his career as a shop-window designer before becoming a menswear buyer. After working with Nino Cerutti and various fashion houses, he founded his own brand in 1975, presenting his first men's collection, followed by a women's line. Armani gained wider recognition through the film American Gigolo, where Richard Gere wore his designs. The brand expanded into various collections, including fragrances, starting with Armani for Women in 1982 and Armani for Men in 1984.
