The goal I seek is to have people refine their style through my clothing without having them become victims of fashion.

It would be very hard for me to do things somebody else's way.
Giorgio Armani

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
In the beginning, I thought that women needed protection, on a style level, to have the right impact to let them realize their desire for success. Now, many years later, women no longer need a masculine uniform. Women have changed.

Sports will always be important in global culture, and so fashion, as a reflection of cultural trends, will always incorporate influences from sports.
Giorgio Armani
Image
It is imperative to create luxury products that are also functional. My vision for fashion precludes frivolous, fantasy-only designs. That said, fashion does tend to move more quickly than interior design. One doesn't change their couch every season as one does their wardrobe.

The difference between style and fashion is quality.

Of course, the muscular build of athletes is always a challenge for a designer, but my clothing's softness and comfort, which are central aspects of my stylistic vision, allow it to adapt to various physical builds effortlessly.

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.
