Giorgio Armani was born on 11 July 1934, in Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna. He originally trained in medicine, but found his passion in photography, before being called up for national service in 1957. He then worked in a department store, La Rinascente, as a window dresser.

Fashion Career

Armani was among the first designers to ban models with a body mass index (BMI) under 18, after model Ana Carolina Reston starved herself to death due to [[anorexia nervosa]].

In January 2007 Armani became the first designer to broadcast a ''haute couture'' fashion show live on the Internet. The Armani Privé spring/summer 2007 fashion show was broadcast via Microsoft Corporation’s [[MSN]] and Cingular cellular phones.
Armani teamed up with Samsung to make the Giorgio Armani cell phone similar to the LG Prada.
