He is one of the greats who has influenced a lot of fashion and how one dresses. The style he has introduced is unique to him and it has influenced the entire industry in one way or another, says Bond.
Above all, he has done a lot for the development of men's fashion, says Cay Bond.
That's how he started his career, women's fashion came later for him.
Also, fashion designer Marina Kereklidou remembers Giorgio Armani as a trendsetting designer, most known for his suits and with an infallible sense of fabric and drape.
He was a master of cuts and over the years his male collections have been stronger than the female ones. But the latest, Armani Prive, which was shown this summer was absolutely incredible with black velvet and crystals. Classic, beautiful, luxurious – that's when I lost my breath, she says.
Marina Kereklidou also points out that Armani was a pioneer in film.
He was early to dress film stars, something we think is natural today. I think, for example, of "American Gigolo" from 1980, she says about the trendsetting film where Richard Gere wore Armani suits.
