Published on the occasion of the Giorgio Armani exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, October 20, 2000 - January 17, 2001 and at the Guggenheim, Bilbao, March 12 - August 26, 2001. Includes many essays, chronology, bibliography. Armani has been universally credited with both radically changing the rules of contemporary fashion and, by removing excess ornament and translating traditional sportswear looks into business and evening wear, creating a timeless version of modern dress. A wealth of illustrations, including editorial and advertising shots and new, specially commissioned photographs, charts the evolution of Armani's designs from the earliest sketches to their carefully orchestrated presentation as finished work. Celebrated authors from the worlds of fashion, film, art and design analyze the scope of Armani's achievement and his cultural and sociological impact on the ways both women and men dress today. In addition, personal photographs of Armani's houses and travels offer an intimate look at the man behind the fashion legend. Elegant and unprecedented, this lavish volume explores the life and work of the highly influential fashion designer Giorgio Armani. *NOTE: If you are a fashion aficionado, see my store for more books about fashion designers.
