The differences between Armani and Emporio Armani include the logo, target audience and design, the original notes, before setting out its own guide to the sub-brands - a guide this profile preserves in the next section, because telling the labels apart is the single most useful thing a men's Armani page can do. Armani is one of the most well-known and largest designer fashion brands in the world, the original concludes, and Emporio Armani is a popular brand under the Armani umbrella, recognized for modern designs and high-quality products.
Why does Armani have so many sub-brands? The original answers its own question label by label. 1. Giorgio Armani is the main line, recognized for the best quality, classic designs, and the highest prices; its logo is a rounded "G" letter completing a curved "A" letter, though tags often show black on white or white on black "Giorgio Armani" without the round logo, and on some older vintage pieces you will see "A Milano - Borgonuovo 21" underneath it. 2. Armani Privé is the haute couture line started in 2005. 3. Armani Collezioni (formerly Giorgio Armani Le Collezioni) is known for tailored suits and shirts; its aesthetics are close to the main line, but prices are a little more down to earth.
4. Emporio Armani is the biggest and the most successful brand under Armani, per the original - the only diffusion line that is mainly designed by Giorgio Armani himself; the brand is more modern and fashion forward than Giorgio Armani and Armani Collezioni, and less expensive. Emporio Armani's logo is the eagle with its head turned in the right direction, and EA7 is the sporty line of Emporio Armani created in collaboration with Reebok. 5. Armani Jeans is the bridge-line collection of denim related clothing, cheaper than the lines above it in the original's ordering. A shopper holding two Armani labels can place them on this ladder - main line, Privé, Collezioni, Emporio, Jeans - by logo, audience and design, exactly as the original taught.
This profile preserves the original's record whole: the house's full product span from haute couture to home interiors, the seven labels it names, and the five-label guide with its logo details - the rounded G completing a curved A on the main line, the eagle with its head turned right on Emporio Armani, the Borgonuovo 21 line on older vintage pieces. The original gives no founding year for the house, so this page states none; it names Giorgio Armani as founder, and that is where the record's biographical detail stops, here as in the original.
The original's onward links are preserved the same way: its pointer to the official Armani site - carried twice in the original, once with an empty anchor and carried here labelled - is in this page's References, and its directory pointers, including the Men's Fashion Brands index, the popular brands and designers sections, and the shopping, retail, wholesale, buyers and news areas, are carried in the navigation and More to Explore list. Armani, under A: an Italian house marketing one prestigious name across a ladder of labels, with the original's own key to the ladder preserved - the most practical Armani guide this directory can hand a men's shopper.
Giorgio Armani Prive, Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezioni, Emporio Armani, AJ | Armani Jeans, Armani Junior and AX | Armani Exchange, across haute couture, ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, eyewear, cosmetics and home interiors.
Per the original's guide, they differ in logo, target audience and design: Giorgio Armani is the main line with the best quality, classic designs and highest prices, while Emporio Armani is more modern and fashion forward, less expensive, and the only diffusion line mainly designed by Giorgio Armani.
By the logos the original describes: a rounded G completing a curved A (and 'A Milano - Borgonuovo 21' on older vintage pieces) for Giorgio Armani, and the eagle with its head turned to the right for Emporio Armani, whose sporty EA7 line was created in collaboration with Reebok.
