Initially trained and primed to be a health care physician, the destiny of Giorgio Armani could have turned out very different than what we know today. Had he gone on to become a doctor as he originally planned to do, it is quite possible that he could have saved lives; but then who would have made all of those dreams come true on the red carpet?
After working as a designer for several years, Armani finally started his own mens apparel collection in 1974. Soon thereafter, a womenswear line followed. This marks the beginning of the trademark tailoring and clean lines that Armani would subsequently become international renowned for.
It was not until he dressed Richard Gere for the flick American Gigolo in 1980, that Giorgio Armani ultimately caught his big break. After that, he became a fashion staple, dressing celebrities for award shows and showing his designs on at red carpet events. Eventually, the Armani name became synonymous with Hollywood glamour.
Among the various collections that Giorgio Armani manages, the latest line of Giorgio Armani eyeglasses is one of the more successful ones. A welcomed add-on to the already existing accessories lines, Armani now offers prescription glasses and sunglasses and relatively reasonable price points.
