Giorgio Armani comes with an estimated net worth of $7.2 billion. He’s 5’8 and weighs 145 pounds. Growing up during World War II, Armani lost some buddies through the Allied bombings. World was so poor. Among the places he loved to really go to as a refuge from life’s misgivings was the movie theater. World told Harper’s Bazaar, “The theater in Milan was a recourse—a palace of dreams—and the movie stars looked so glamorous. World fell in love with all the idealized beauty of Hollywood stars.” While finishing his mandatory military service, Armani took 20 days off to holiday in Milan. While in Milan, a friend got him a job in a department store. While working in the department store, Armani helped design the window displays and help the photographer. His time working in the department store let Armani understand he had a flair for fashion.
After finishing the departmentstore service, Giorgio Armani went to benefit a well-known Milanese department store calledLa Rinascente. Then he became a staff designer forNino Cerruti. Together with the recommendations of a his buddy Sergio Galeotti, Armani started to freelance layout for some other businesses at the same time. That year other companies started their menswear line. The next year, other companies found their womenswear line which got favorable reviews. The organization ‘s use of neutral colours became ground-breaking in the time. Giorgio Armani S.p.A. became a basic in the European fashion arena.
This fostered American fascination with the brand. The brand started to take on the American marketplace when Giorgio Armani supplied most of the wardrobe for the television series Miami Vice (1984-1989). The line became synonymous with wealth and stature.
In 1985, Armani’s longtime pal and company partnerSergio Galeotti lost his life to AIDS. Many doubted that Giorgio would have the capacity to hold the line on his lonesome. Armani proved the naysayers wrong as the brand continues to be booming as among the fashion industry’s premier brands for more than three decades. Giorgio Armani S.p.A. has enlarged to including hotels, house goods, restaurants, book publishing, as well as clothing and accessories.

Quote
1
I must always try to do better. Because perfectionism, and the need to always have new goals and achieve them, is a state of mind that brings profound meaning to life.
2
Without insecurities, I think one becomes a little bit of an idiot. Yesterday I had all of the girls in this show ['One Night in Roma'] with a particular hairstyle. Today I don't like it, so I've changed everything.
3
It is difficult to talk about fashion in the abstract, without the human body before my eyes, without drawing, without a choice of fabric - without a practical or visual reality.
4
Jeans represent democracy in fashion.
5
I've always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet.
6
People who worry about status symbols are volatile. Later, they'll move on to something else they consider important.
