Who is Giorgio Armani?
Giorgio Armani is one of the world’s most famous fashion designers. Born in Piacenza, Italy on 11 July 1934, Giorgio Armani originally intended to become a doctor. After studying medicine at the University of Bologna, Armani decided that the medical life was not for him. He found that he had an aversion to the sight of blood. Armani then stepped into the fashion business by becoming a window dresser in a large clothing store.
An Italian designer born in the 1930s, Giorgio Armani got his start in the fashion industry as a designer for a famous fashion house in Italy. After nine years, he went on to pursue his own freelance designs and with a partner named Sergio Galeotti he successfully launched a menswear line. A women’s line quickly followed, with the help of his sister Rosanna Armani. With his designs doing well, he began to earn a true American name for himself when Hollywood took note of his talent. He designed outfits for both movies and the public appearances of various stars, and he is now known as one of the world’s most successful overseas designers alive today.
