In October, his first collection of men's ready-to-wear clothes for spring and summer the next year were showcased, as were a women's range. In 1975, he founded his namesake company with his friend Sergio Galeotti, after gaining considerable expertise in this field. After acquiring lots of practical experience in this role, Mr Armani designed clothing for Nino Cerruti and also worked as a freelancer in the mid-1960s. He got a job as a window dresser in a Milan department store and then became a seller for the menswear department. He was then transferred to an infirmary unit in Verona as a result of his medical knowledge, but decided to find an alternative calling. However, he joined the army after three years of studying this subject. Giorgio Armani was born in northern Italy on July 11th, 1934 and decided to pursue a career in medicine.

This brand is a sub-label of Giorgio Armani, which is where the inspiration for these quality items began. Emporio Armani is known for its high-end products and accessories, such as watches.
