Founding Armani

His Emporio Armani collection was met with immediate success, and it is famous for its bold, modern take on high-brow fashion. Soon, Armani was being approached with licensing offers for his brand, with 1978's agreement with Gruppo Finanzario Tessile proving to be a defining point allowing the widespread manufacture of Armani products. This agreement would allow him to establish the Giorgio Armani Corporation and debut in the United States with the Mani line.

Armani continued to be at the forefront of the fashion industry's innovation. Wanting to do away with the industry's antiquated workings, he used then-unconventional methods to promote his brand. Giorgio Armani worked directly with the booming cinema industry to accomplish this, providing costumes for countless hit films and further expanding the brand's reach. In addition, he works with celebrities and public figures, most notably as the costume designer for several of Lady Gaga's tours.
