We all know the world famous fashion designer, particularly noted for his menswear: Giorgio Armani. By 2001 he was acclaimed as the most successful designer to come out of Italy, with an annual turnover of $1.600 billion, and a personal fortune of $5 billion!
What most people don’t know is that Armani, the company he formed in 1975, is more than just a fashion house that designs haute couture. The company also manufactures, distributes, and retails haute couture, ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, eyewear, cosmetics, and home interiors.
And there is even more! Armani also plans a chain of luxury hotels and resorts in several big cities all over the world. Another creative idea of Armani was to join Samsung and design the Giorgio Armani phone. The company also operates a range of cafés worldwide, in addition to a bar, restaurant, and nightclub. And to conclude the row, Armani also creates furniture, lamps, linens and dining essentials.
Despite the fact that Giorgio is known as a workaholic, who can sometimes be rude and arrogant, the man succeeded to develop a complete empire!
