Fashion Designer: Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani became a household name when he "dressed" Richard Gere in the movie American Gigolo. In the fashion world, he made a name long before the movie.

It was in 1974 when he launched his own label and it was destined to be very successful. During the 1980s, the name Giorgio Armani would be synonymous with international style - neither classic nor modern. It will just be known as the Giorgio Armani style. He has influenced fashion with the level of Christian Dior's "New Look" and Mary Quant's "mini skirt."

The secret of Giorgio Armani's continued success is the quality of his clothes. Working only with the finest fabrics and materials, both fashionistas and conservative boardroom executives appreciate the highly refined and sophisticated clothes by Giorgio Armani.
