Giorgio Armani Women's Fashion Brand

Giorgio Armani is an Italian fashion designer, known today for his clean, tailored lines. He formed his company, Armani, in 1975. Three facts, briefly stated - a designer, a signature of clean tailoring, and a company formed in 1975 - and the brevity itself suits the subject: this is the letter G's house of restraint, listed on the same pages as Versace's vivid prints and Gucci's leather luxury, and defined against both by the discipline of its line.

Clean, tailored lines is a complete shopping instruction once it is unpacked. Tailored means a garment is built to a body's architecture - shoulder, waist, hip - rather than merely sized; clean means the construction is not decorated over, so seams, darts and edges carry the design. A women's Armani piece therefore asks to be judged exactly where decoration cannot help it: in the fall of a lapel, the hang of a trouser, the way a jacket's shoulder sits without padding doing the work. That is a demanding standard, and it is the one those five words set.

A Company Formed in 1975

He formed his company, Armani, in 1975, with the designer as its founder and its namesake. A house that carries its designer's own name, formed by him and defined by his line, is the classic Italian pattern in this directory, and it makes attribution simple for a researcher: the clean, tailored signature is not a marketing position adopted later but the founder's own hand, present from the company's first year. This page also links onward to Apparel Search's Giorgio Armani designer profile, where the designer's news, photos and record are kept.

The women's significance of a tailored house deserves its own sentence. Tailoring was historically the language of men's suiting, and a designer known for clean, tailored lines built a women's wardrobe in that language - jackets, trousers and structured dresses whose authority comes from cut rather than ornament. For a woman shopping the label, that history is practical: expect the fit questions of tailoring - shoulder placement, sleeve length, trouser break, waist position - to matter more than the embellishment questions other letters of this directory ask.

Buying Tailored Pieces Well

Fit a tailored garment standing, moving and seated, in the shoes it will be worn with. The shoulder seam should sit at the shoulder's edge, the jacket should button without pulling across the body, and trousers should hang from the waist without creasing across the front - clean lines show every fit fault, which is precisely why they flatter when they are right. Buy the size that fits the largest point honestly and have the rest tailored, rather than sizing down into a pull that breaks the line the designer is known for.

Care is the tailoring routine: rest structured pieces on wide hangers between wearings, brush rather than over-clean natural cloth, press as labelled, and store trousers hung by the waistband so the crease the cut depends on survives the wardrobe. This directory's full A-to-Z brand letter row is on this page below. An Italian designer, a company formed in 1975, and a reputation carried in five words - clean, tailored lines: shop Armani by the seam, the shoulder and the hang, and that is everything this profile honestly holds.
