Giorgio Armani (English and Italian Edition)
Discover the elegance and legacy of Giorgio Armani in this hardbound edition featuring both English and Italian texts. Perfect for fashion enthusiasts and collectors, this book offers insightful narratives and stunning visuals that celebrate the iconic designer’s timeless style and influence.
Along came Italian designer Giorgio Armani. He fused the softness of jeans and ponchos with more convention, and built a fashion empire from the deconstruction of the shape-shifting suits of the 1940s and ’50s. Fashion publisher Patrick McCarthy explains, “His mission, a rather democratic mission at that, has been to return elegance to clothing without abandoning the ease and comfort that crept in during the 1960s.” Armani, the catalog accompanying the exhibit at New York’s Guggenheim Museum, showcases the designs of this now very famous fashion insider. From sportswear to glamour, the book traces the history and styles of Armani’s last three decades. Chapters range from ideas about gender, world culture, and architecture to a most interesting essay on Armani’s relationship with cinema (his rise to fame was very tied to the release of the film American Gigolo). The photographs range from magazine advertising and billboards to family and celebrity pictures to lineups of Armani-clothed mannequins. — J.P. Cohen
