"Giorgio Armani began by placing mannequins in the windows of a Milanese gallery, unaware that one day he would dress Hollywood's biggest stars. Amid the fabrics, lights, and display windows of the historic La Rinascente department store, he began to forge a career based on the idea of understated, timeless elegance that would take him to the throne of world fashion."
"At the same galleries, he began to rise to photography assistant, in charge of selecting merchandise, and then moved on to the sales department until, in the early 1960s, he landed a job as a designer with stylist Nino Cerruti. Shortly after, he met Sergio Galeotti, who became his partner in life and work and convinced him to start working on his own, first as a consultant"
Giorgio Armani began his career as a window dresser at Milan's La Rinascente, using display work to develop taste and visual sensibility. Born in Piacenza in 1934, he moved to Milan in 1949, briefly enrolled in medical school, completed military service, and transitioned into retail and photography roles. By the early 1960s he worked as a designer for Nino Cerruti, later partnering with Sergio Galeotti to launch consulting work and his own brand. Armani's style emphasized understated, timeless elegance rooted in Milan, which became both his creative muse and the launchpad for dressing international stars.
