Determination and $10,000 Could Get You What in 1974????

After 9 years as an assistant for Nino Cerruti from 1961 to 1971, this was the question Giorgio Armani asked himself.  Eager for his own line, Armani decided to take his $10,000 and develop his own designs. By 1974, he had accomplished his goal. When word got around that  Richard Gere  wore one of his suits in 1980's American Gigolo, he quickly achieved icon status.  Featuring clean lines and including designer handbags, jewelry and accessories, suits are still a Hollywood favorite.  Check out Christian Bale's suits in The Dark Knight to see how popular his designs are still today.
