Believe it or not!
This designer started a career in medicine before he gave it up to pursue a creative career in photography. Unfortunately he had to leave it midway as he had been called for national service in the year 1957. He started his career in the field of fashion as a window dresser in a department store called the La Rinascente. After his short stint as a window dresser, he finally got a break as a designer in a popular fashion house, Nino Cerutti. He worked here for almost a decade from 1961 to 1970. Bigger dreams beckoned him and he left this place as well to pursue a career as a fashion designer with a difference. He freelanced before he started his own label with the help of his partner, Sergio Galeotti in 1974. The label was known as Giorgio Armani S.p.A. that had only menswear with women’s wear following the next year. Of course, we are talking about one of the famous designers of all times, none other than Giorgio Armani himself.
