Giorgio Armani
Brand
Giorgio Armani S.p.A., or Armani for short, is an Italian fashion company. The company designs and manufactures products in several categories including fashion accessories, apparel, cosmetics, fragrances, home interiors, jewelry, eyewear and watches under several labels including Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezioni, Emporio Armani, Armani Jeans, Armani Junio, Armani Exchange and Armani Casa. Giorgio Armani and Sergio Galeotti founded the company in Milan in 1975 with a capital of $10,000. Today, Armani employs about 4,700 employees and has 13 factories around the world. It has nearly 300 stores in 36 countries. Recently, the house has begun an haute couture operation, showing in Paris during the Haute Couture fashion week, under the name of Armani Privé. Unlike much of the fashion industry, which is held by massive multi-nationals like LVMH and relies heavily on licensing, Armani is held privately by Giorgio Armani and produces the vast majority of its products in-house.
