Giorgio Armani - Designer, Creative Director of Emporio Armani & Giorgio Armani

[susseinmcswanny]

^^^ You know Salvatore, the first designer I ever wore was Armani. As a dumb flexing teen desperate to impress a girl

Literally EXACT same case as me. He was my intro. Being an insecure f@g in 6th grade trying to impress a girl talmbout this jacket is Giorgio Armani, no collezioni, not even emporio. She would just laugh. Like HUH ? I was so silly lol. As much as I kinda dread that time in my life, he was a beacon of light for me that I hold close in memory, regardless of the weird disingenuous anti-status status reasons. I remember being so so sooo obsessed one season in like 2007 or so he had all these stingray leather menswear accessories that were so sleek and I could not stop talking about them to anyone that would listen. Which you know, furthermore did not help me beat the allegations.

Armani has never really been my favourite (a touch too conservative and matronly for my tastes), but I always had a lot of admiration for how consistent and genuine it is. He really has a love for what he does and it shows each season.

Oh well. I will miss his couture. Such a legend!

 

[Salvatore]

I am a bit superstitious and every time I finally come around to something, it feels like it goes away/ends so I am staying away from Armani to get a few more years out of him lol. I need a proxy.

See what I mean ?

Although it's heartbreaking his passing, I just came across a reels on Instagram which had a piece of information I didn't know about - Armani brand create a public archive on their website.

I don't know if this is the right thread, but earlier, by mistake, I stumbled upon a Giorgio Armani Made To Measure catalog. Obviously, since it's something custom, it can vary a lot based on fabrics and sizes, but does anyone have an idea of how much a suit costs on average?

I think the timing of the whole Archivio initiative, which is scrupulously presented and far surpasses the typical LVMH heritage blurb, couldn’t have been a coincidence. He must have known the end was near for some time. It’s a beautiful virtual gallery, and just like the Armani Silos in Milan, will prove of lasting importance. It’s Giorgio’s low-key attempt at immortalising himself, which he is of course more entitled than anyone else in the business to do.

Someday a retrospective will be in order. While known for his unstructured suits, he also made multiple innovations in menswear and moved with the times. The big shouldered ‘executive’ look was typically paired with a studious introspection in the vintage ads, forgoing the type of vainglory that tended to plague other luxury houses. Then he pioneered a new sort of uniform with his guru collar, 4-5 button jackets, lapel-less blazers, monochromatic looks…outerwear with large buttons and asymmetric closures, flowing t-shirts in formal ensembles…

Unlike his fellow titan Ralph, Armani did not borrow explicitly from a codified image of inherited wealth to build his brand. He was the Adolf Loos of modern menswear…
