The history of Emporio Armani began with a shirt. In 1975, Giorgio Armani was looking for a design to help him stand out from the other designers in Milan. Then he found inspiration in an old book on traditional Sicilian dressmaking. Published in 1860, the design had previously been reproduced by the island's tourist office - a drawing of a shirt. The first men's collection was born. Shirts with long sleeves, cuffs, and collars, all made from fine Egyptian cotton. These practical beginnings gave rise to something greater, and the label became one of the world's most prestigious designers of menswear. Today, Emporio Armani is all about indulgence, simplicity, and effortless elegance. The brand offers accessible luxury through timeless pieces. They built their reputation on quality garments with no unnecessary embellishments or excessive detailing.
