History: Giorgio Armani: Born on July 11, 1934, in Piacenza, Italy a small town outside of Milan. After completing his military service, Armani dropped out of university and went to work at La Rinascente, a famous Milan department store. He then joined the staff of designer, Nino Cerruti.

In July 1975, at the age of 37, Armani and Sergio Galeotti became business partners, founding Giorgio Armani S.p.A. The company's first collection—a men's clothing line—debuted that year. Armani launched a women's collection the following year, which received a warm reception. His clothes were revolutionary at the time, introducing a more natural fit and using a subtle color palette. "My vision was clear: I believed in getting rid of the artifice of clothing. I believed in neutral colors," he later told WWD.

While his designs were popular in Europe, Armani didn't make a big splash in America until 1980. His clothes were worn by actor Richard Gere in the film American Gigolo, generating a lot of interest and his popularity skyrocketed in America when his men's 'power suits' appeared frequently on the television series Miami Vice. During the 1980s, wearing Armani became a symbol of success for many business professionals and celebrities.
