Giorgio Armani has been one of the most influential fashion designers of the last fifty years. He was born in 1934 in Piacenza, Italy and has often been called the “Father of Italian Fashion”. This title did not come easily to the young Giorgio. Initially he had no intention of going into the fashion industry. He attended medical school for two years, took photography classes, served in the military and finally ended up as a window dresser in a prestigious fashion house. Here he found his calling. After working for over a decade in the fashion emporium of Nino Cerruti he decided in 1970 to step out on his own as a freelance designer.

In 1975 with his partner, Segio Galcotti he established his own fashion house, Armani. His fashions quickly caught the eyes of the A- list of people and his tailored, precisely cut garments were all the rage. Initially he focused on men’s fashions, but within a year he had also launched a sophisticated and tailored women’s line. Both sexes seemed to love his designs that emphasized clean silhouettes for both men and women. In 1980, he designed and tailored Richard Gere’s suit for the popular movie, “American Gigolo”. And ever the astute businessman, he began cultivating famous people to wear his fashions.

Since his fame was quickly spreading, it was not hard to find well-known people excited to wear his fashions. One such patron was Pat Riley, the coach at that time of the Los Angeles Lakers. Soon the rich and famous throughout the world were seeking him out and his fashions were in great demand. In 1985 his partner Segio Galcotti passed away and at that time Giorgio’s sister joined the firm to help him run the ever-increasing Armani empire.

In both 2001 and 2006, Forbes Magazine named Giorgio Armani as the most successful Italian designer. His fashions have remained in vogue for decades. His Giorgio Armani Colognes and Cosmetics are world famous and used by people of distinction all over the world. And his creativity and impeccable taste have also influenced him to open several cafes and restaurants in various places in the world. He even owns a confectionary company and a bar in Hong Kong. Giorgio’s zest for life and singular talent for style and taste have made him truly “the father of Italian fashion.”
