=Annotated Bibliography= Giorgio Armani met Sergio Galeotti in 1966: 32-year-old designer and young architectural draftsman, eleven years Armani's junior, met under the hot Forte dei Margi sun. Their affair progressed rapidly, despite their age difference: soon Galeotti left his family and career and moved to Milan to be by his lover's side. Galeotti had immense confidence in Armani's talent and urged him to produce his own collection instead of designing for others. In 1975 the pair founded Giorgio Armani Spa with an initial investment of approximately ten thousand dollars. the company was making menswear, then launched a line of __[|Replica miu miu] __ focused on recutting the traditional men's suit jacket.

You accomplished quite a bit during Friday's clashttp://jchsseniorcapstone.wikispaces.com/Jessica+Leducs. Much of this can be added to your abstract. Introduce your fashion designer. What factors contribute to his clothing styles? Is he a unique designer? What qualities contribute to this conclusion. We need to continue our search for relevant material. I did find an article that focused on Armani designs outside of the clothing industry. Could any of this be relevant to your topic. I did notice that your selected image was a cell phone and thought maybe you intended to explore Armani's influence in other areas.

= The Research Paper =



Giorgio Armani was born in1934 in Piachenza Italy. He grew up with his brother and sister in this northern Italian town. He graduated from a public school and went to study medicine at the University of Placenza. Armani stopped studying medicine in 1957 and worked as a window dresser and buyer of clothing for a department store in Milan called La Rinascente. Then he met Nino Cerruti and instead of buying fashions, he started designing fashions. It was in 1975 that he and his partner, Sergio Galeotti started the business of Giorgio Armani S.p.A. He formed his company, Armani, in 1975 through 2001. I think he is a good fashion designer. His clothes are at Macy's and the clothes are probably cheaper to buy, even though you can see his clothes on celebrities on TV. He also designed long flower -child skirts and classic French tailleurs. His fashion business launched a men's and a woman's ready to-wear- line. He designed women and men's clothing, shoes, and bags, watches, eyewear, jewelry, perfumes and cosmetics, and home furnishings (fashion). He also designed gowns for celebrities, and in 1980 he was a costume designer for Richard Gere in the film American Gigolo. Armani designed fashions that celebrities wore to the Academy Awards, and he even appeared at the Academy Awards.

Giorgio Armani was well known to celebrities. He designed some of the women's fashions who attended the Oscar Ceremony. Armani also designed the men's line for an Italian clothing enterprise. He was often seen in jet-setting circles or at fashion parties. Hollywood stars would wear his fashions at the Academy awards. Some of the famous celebrities are Jodie Foster and Michelle Pfeiffer. Other celebrities that have worn his fashions are Anne Hathaway, Fergie, Jennifer Lopez, Lea Michele, Reese Witherspoon and Alicia Keys. This might be because Armani always liked movies, especially movies from the forties and fifties (Werle, p 61). Armani has over five thousand stores over the world. He owns over two thousand boutiques in many different countries around the world. With annual sales that go over one billion dollars, he is placed sixth among the richest people in Italy and 236th in the world. He had 46 factories in 46 countries and he also had 5,000 direct employed. He had a lot of money. In 2001 Giorgio Armani was acclaimed the most successful designer to come out of Italy with an annual turnover of $1.6 billion and his personal fortune of $5.3 billion. He loved to design for celebrities to wear in the fashion show. As far as design, Armani was influenced by designs from Africa and the East. The designs from these influenced his fashions that included dresses with a kaftan or kimono style and used beading from China. Giorgio Armani was famous for creating working fashion for men and woman. He was very careful in selecting his fabric. He used the best fabric in the fashion business.

As a founder of a company and as a fashion designer Giorgio Armani has earned the much hallowed space in the fashion industry, because of its superior design, themes and trends. His clothes maintain the aura of a real luxury brand. Not only has Giorgio Armani become one of the most respected and known brand names in the fashion and luxury brand industry, it is also one of the most highly valued fashion companies in the world with a value of nearly 3 billion Euros. Giorgio is an ultra-expensive fashion often seen on movie stars and their spouses. He designs a chic ready-to -wear line specializing in hand made sweaters and sexy, slim -fitting suits. he made a sportswear line with a casual elegance breezy, easygoing sexiness expressed by lush, layered fabrics, tight-fitting pants and skirts. He made different fashion for different celebrities.

He also is the president of Milan basketball team. He is distinguished too for constructing a mansion on the Caribbean island of Antigua. Most importantly, he was among the first to ban models with body mass index under 18 (fashion designers). Amongst other titles Armani got, Forbes also picked him twice as the most successful Italian designer in 2001 and in 2006. The following year, he was appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In 2005, he was named the Best Dressed Environmentalist. However, Giorgio Armani wouldn‘t have the tenth fraction of this success, if it hadn't been for that one special person who made it all happen. This one special person is Sergio Galeotti, Italian architect who has been by Armani's side for nearly twenty years and encouraged him to start designing on his own and establish his own company that is today a grand (fashion) empire, the most successful brand (Italian fashion).

=Giorgio Armani and Sergio Galeotti: a Love Story=

Giorgio Armani met Sergio Galeotti in 1966: 32-year-old designer and young architectural draftsman, eleven years Armani's junior, met under the hot Forte dei Margi sun. Their affair progressed rapidly, despite their age difference. Soon Galeotti left his family and career and moved to Milan to be by his lover's side. Galeotti had immense confidence in Armani's talent and urged him to produce his own collection instead of designing for others. In 1975 the pair founded Giorgio Armani Spa with an initial investment of approximately ten thousand dollars. the company was making menswear, then launched a line of focused on recutting the traditional men's suit jacket (luxemag). However, this love story does not have a happily ever after: in 1984 Galeotti was diagnosed with AIDS and died a year later at the age of forty.

An intensely private person, Armani generally reveals little about his personal life. In a 2000, however, he spoke at length about his relationship with Galeotti. Armani stated, «He helped me believe in my own work, in my energy». He acknowledged that he considered retirement after Galeotti's death but decided instead to persevere rather than abandoning «all the hopes of Sergio». «It is he who gives me the strength even now to continue», declared Armani, who added that Galeotti «is always there» in the __t __hat they shared (luxemag). Tangible reminders include photographs of Galeotti that adorn the bedrooms of all of Armani's residences. Since 1999 Armani has received offers from LVMH (luxemag/louisvuiton) and Gucci to form joint partnerships in which Armani would retain creative control of his fashion line but cede the business operation. This side of the business is also intensely personal to Armani, however, since taking up the role formerly played by Galeotti helped him get over his partner's death. Armani has resisted all offers from other companies.
 * In Memory of Sergio**

After the loss of Galeotti, Armani not only continued to work but guided his privately-owned company to phenomenal success. The enterprise, now known as the Giorgio Armani Group, had a global value of some four billion dollars in 2003. Armani retail stores can indeed be found worldwide. There were already over two hundred of them in more than thirty countries when Armani announced plans in 2004 to enter the Chinese market by opening some thirty facilities there within five years. Armani is known as a tireless worker who diligently oversees every detail of his operation, from small adjustments in the (luxemag/design) of a single garment to international financial deals. So intimately has he been involved in every phase of the business that in recent years industry observers have been speculating on whether the Armani empire can survive without Armani himself. In a 2001 interview Armani was asked about the greatest failure of his career and replied that it was not being able to stop my partner from dying.


 * Armani Fashion at an Affordable Price**

Armani, like other high fashion designers, has offered a second line of clothing at a more affordable price. In fact some have signed deals with retailers such as H&M, Kohl's, Target, and Macy's department stores. (Time Business, Time.com) In an interview with Armani, he says that copying isn't always a bad thing. In fact it can even help the sales of his high end fashions as they provide more exposure. However, using the Armani name on such clothing is against copyright laws. (Techdirt, techdirt.com) For the most part, authentic fashion designed by Giorgio Armani will not be cheap. There are many replicas of his designs. These can resemble Armani's originals, but they are not of the same quality. In this sense, authentic Armani fashion is not readily available at discounted prices. The article of clothing which is a replica may be cheap, but it is not of the same quality. Some things to look for if you think you are buying an original Armani design can be helpful.


 * 1. Be familiar with the various Armani lines. Armani has several individual lines under the broad Armani name. Giorgio Armani Black Label is the most expensive line and is only sold at exclusive Armani boutiques. Giorgio Armani Classic o is considered on par with the Black Label line, however, it is no longer made. Giorgio Armani Collezioni is also known as White Label and is sold in upscale department stores as well as Armani Collezioni boutiques. Emporio Armani is sold primarily in specific Emporio Armani shops. Jeans are sold under the Armani Jeans label. Armani Exchange is the least expensive of all the Armani lines and geared toward North America.
 * 2. Know the various label colors. Giorgio Armani Black Label clothes' labels feature white letters on black labels. Giorgio Armani Classico labels feature silver letters on navy blue backgrounds. Giorgio Armani Collezioni labels will have black letters on white labels. All these labels will feature the line's name in uppercase letters. Most of the labels will also have "Made in Italy" on them. Emporio Armani labels will read either "EA" or "GA" on them. This line's labels are either cream colored with black lettering or black colored with white lettering. Finally, Armani Jeans labels will feature "AJ" on the left side of the label and "Armani Jeans" on the right, also all in uppercase letters. This label will feature white lettering on a dark blue label. Armani Exchange labels will either read "Armani Exchange" or "A/X." These labels do not feature the Armani eagle.
 * 3. Feel the clothing's material. As a top designer line, Armani clothing is made from extremely high-quality material. If the piece of clothing feels at all flimsy or cheap, it is most certainly not authentic Armani.
 * 4. Look closely at the stitching on the item. If the stitching is uneven, frayed, crooked or at all sloppy, it is a fake. If the piece of clothing features a lining, it should be sewn in evenly and flat. There should be no bunching or puckering along the seams.
 * 5. Observe the clothing's design. If it very eccentric or wild, it is probably not real. Armani clothes feature classic lines and conservative designs. Many replica makers incorporate odd designs into the fake pieces.
 * 6. Examine photos of authentic Armani clothing, preferably from the Armani websites. Compare those photos to those of the clothes for sale. If anything looks even slightly off, you are dealing with replica clothing. If the seller only lists stock photos of the clothing for sale, ask to see photos of the actual items. Those selling fake Armani items will often display stock photos so buyers are tricked into purchasing the replica items. If the seller is hesitant to show you photos of the actual clothing, walk away (ehow).
