I believe that style is the only real luxury,that is really desirable

Anyone who is passionate about what they do will have a better chance of connecting with future generations than those who simply follow transient trends. At least their work will have a distinctive character, and this is what people respond to, I believe.
Giorgio Armani
Image
I love things that age well - things that don't date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best.
Giorgio Armani
Image
I find that fashion recently has been a little too hasty. Often times, it's put together quickly to catch the attention of the media, and I didn't want to do that.
Giorgio Armani
Image
Through fashion I have shown my interpretation of the competitive spirit by dressing sportsmen and women, choosing to work with both those who are among the world's most renowned athletes and also those who are yet to achieve fame in the arena of sport.
Giorgio Armani
Image
The goal I seek is to have people refine their style through my clothing without having them become victims of fashion.

Our wardrobe needs to be more versatile, and, above all, it needs to be comfortable.
