It&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Giorgio Armani<\/strong>&#8216;s, the king of Italian fashion. He&#8217;s one of the most famous designers in the world, the very first to design <strong>ready to wear<\/strong> in Italy, and today he&#8217;s at the top of his empire, built on fashion collections, hotels, eyewear, fragrances and even a basketball team!

Probably he would have been the best in the world, but luckily, we&#8217;ll never know. Born in 1934 in Pavia, Armani left medical school in 1957, and he started working as a merchandiser at<strong> La Rinascente<\/strong> in Milan, hired by his friend\u00a0Rachele Enriquez. At that time, the Milanese department store is a real factory of artists and talents, in which Armani worked to shape La Rinascente&#8217;s imagery.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-161567 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-post_listing_preview'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/fashion\/giorgio-armani-history-iconic\/attachment\/giorgio-armani-10\/'><img width=\"790\" height=\"1183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Image00021-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post_listing_preview size-post_listing_preview\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-161575\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-161575'>\n\t\t\t\tGiorgio Armani\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>This job experience brought Armani to work in the fashion industry, and in 1964 he started working\u00a0at\u00a0<strong>Cerruti<\/strong>, becoming menswear brand<strong> Hitman<\/strong>&#8216;s creative director until 1970. He worked as a freelance as well, for fashion companies like Gib\u00f2, Montedoro, Sicons and Tendresse. In 1966 he met\u00a0<strong>Sergio Galeotti<\/strong>, who persuaded Armani to found his own brand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 1975 Armani and Galeotti, a couple at work and in real life, founded Giorgio Armani. Everything began on July 24th in Corso Venezia 37 in Milan, together with the assistant <strong>Irene Pantone<\/strong>, who is still one of the most important women in the company after more than 40 years. In 1976, Armani staged his first runway show at Milan&#8217;s Hotel Palace, with <strong>womenswear ready to wear collection<\/strong> inspired by men&#8217;s wardrobe, with tweed suits and masculine jackets that enhanced the feminine silhouette. Since the very beginning, it&#8217;s pretty clear Giorgio Armani&#8217;s aesthetic: he loved to dress women as men, mixing empowerment, elegance, energy, and luxury. The first businesswomen needed not to dress up like men, but their clothes needed to express their management skills. They found an answer in Armani&#8217;s style.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-161567 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-post_listing_preview'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/fashion\/giorgio-armani-history-iconic\/attachment\/giorgio-armani-with-models\/'><img width=\"790\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Image00024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post_listing_preview size-post_listing_preview\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-161576\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-161576'>\n\t\t\t\tGiorgio Armani with models\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Thanks to his aesthetic, Armani gained fame and success soon in the fashion industry.
