Mens & Womens Fashion Designer Giorgio Armani

In 2001, Forbes magazine estimated that Giorgio Armani had a net worth of $1.7 billion, making him the most successful designer to come out of Italy.

Born on July 11, 1934, Giorgio Armani, together with his brother and sister, grew up in the northern Italian town of Piacenza. He attended school in his home town and spent two years at the medical university. He did not become interested in the world of fashion until 1957.

"When I began to design, men all dressed in the same way," says Giorgio, who in 1982 became the first designer to grace the cover of Time magazine since Christian Dior in the late Forties. "Everyone wore the same uniform…the Mao syndrome," he says.

"Traditional clothing depressed me…I wanted to personalise the jacket; to make it more closely attuned to its wearer," he explains. "How? By removing the structure. Making it into sort of a second skin." And so the unlined jacket, perhaps Armani's most famous innovation, was born.
