- A living legend in the fashion world, Giorgio Armani brought softened, minimalist style to high-end menswear.

- He left to design clothes for Nino Cerruti and eventually launched his own line in the mid-1970s with the help of his partner, Sergio Galeotti.
- His business surged after he was asked to design actor Richard Gere's wardrobe for the 1980 blockbuster film American Gigolo.
- Since then he has expanded into accessories, perfumes, makeup and sportswear -- plus interior design, real estate, restaurants and hotels.
- Armani owns Italian basketball club Olimpia Milano and has designed uniforms for the Italian Olympic and Paralympic teams.
- Giorgio Armani was named a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 2002.
