Giorgio Armani Brings Eyeglasses to Accessories Line

Just by looking at any of the Giorgio Armani collections, you would never think that the designer was first educated to be a doctor. Or maybe you would. Upon closer inspection, only after studying the attention to detail and certain skill, admiration, and tailoring used for the human form, is it possible for you to see that his medical training is more obvious than you realized.

After working as a designer at another fashion house for many years, Armani ultimately began his own mens apparel collection in 1974. Shortly thereafter, his line of womenswear followed. This marks the beginning of the signature tailoring and clean lines that Armani would subsequently become international renowned for.

In 1980, after many years on his own as a designer, Armani got his big break by dressing Richard Gere for the flick American Gigolo. This launched both of their careers and turned Giorgio Armani into one of the most sought after designers of his time.

Among the various collections that Giorgio Armani manages, the recent line of Giorgio Armani eyeglasses is one of the more successful ones. A welcomed addition to the already existing accessories lines, Armani now offers prescription glasses and sunglasses and comparatively reasonable price points.
