An Italian fashion designer who is notable for informal, loosely-fashioned blazers and rumpled silhouettes was born on 11 July 1934 in Italy. His clothes combine understated elegance, quality tailoring, and practicality. Armani dropped out of medical school and studied photography. In 1975 he founded his own firm with his clothes first appearing under the Armani label. In 1980 he introduced Armani U.S.A., featuring lower-priced, mass-produced copies of his custom-made clothes. That same year, he designed Richard Gere's wardrobe for the motion picture American Gigolo, as well as uniforms for the Italian air force. He also began to design his own fabrics. In 1982 he introduced his perfume, Armani. Armani's fashions were worn in such movies as Pulp Fiction, Heat, The Untouchables and Shaft. He was one of the few designers of men's clothes to win the Neiman-Marcus Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion (1981). Among the celebrities who began to wear his clothes were basketball coach Pat Riley and movie stars Glenn Close, Jodie Foster, and Michelle Pfeiffer. He brought out more fragrances; introduced Armani eyewear, hosiery, watches, golfing wear, and skiwear, and an Armani gift collection; and launched A/X Armani Exchange, a line of less-expensive casual clothing and stores to market them. With the launch of Armani Casa in 2000, he extended his imprint to home furnishings.
