Giorgio Armani: Fashion Designer
The Armani Empire spans five levels of luxury: Giorgio Armani, an ultra-expensive couture line most often seen on movie stars and their spouses; Armani Collezioni, a chic ready-to-wear line specializing in handmade sweaters and sexy, slim-fitting suits; Emporio Armani, a sportswear line combining sultry Italian style with casual elegance; Armani Exchange, an affordable mass-market version of the season’s hottest trends and key pieces, and Armani Junior, for the precociously stylish. The brands differ in price point, but share a common aesthetic of breezy, easygoing sexiness expressed by lush, layered fabrics, tight-fitting pants and skirts, and necklines that sweep more than plunge. The fashion house also produces its own denim label, sold in Armani Exchange stores, that is particularly good at enhancing one’s backside.
