Characteristically dressed in jeans, a white shirt opened at the neck, and a navy cotton pullover, Giorgio Armani (born 1935) designs new fashions in his 16th-century palazzo in Milan. He was given the honorary Neiman Marcus Award, and has built an international reputation - as well as a fortune - on his revolutionary, unstructured jacket for men.
In April of 1982 Time magazine placed the photo of Giorgio Armani on its cover. Armani's first radically different blazer appeared in the fashion world under his own label between 1974 and 1975. His sartorial style exhibited a decidedly relaxed, even rumpled look. The designer softened these new jackets by pulling out the padding and lining and leaving out stiffeners of any kind. He combined thinner lapels with baggier pockets and longer jackets. Armani's unstructured look makes even his English wool suits feel as comfortable as silk pajamas. Armani's suit jackets reflected the defiant, angry mood of political and social unrest. But fashion evolves and Armani's designs changed by the end of the 1970s. Creating what would eventually be known as the "wedge-shaped power suit," Armani extended the shoulders and even added padding to them. The lapels were widened, and the broadest point of the lapel, called the gorge, was lowered.
