Emporio armani
Today, speaking about Italian fashion, we are one of the first to remember Giorgio Armani. The great Maestro was almost forty years old when he decided to found his own clothing brand. It is unlikely that he then realized what scale his brainchild would reach.
However, his luxury brand quickly gained popularity, and, seven years later, he created another line - Emporio Armani, which is usually called democratic. It is about her that will be discussed in this article.
Brand history
Italian fashion is strongly associated with the baroque artsy luxury that famous brands adhere to. When creating Emporio Armani, the designer wanted to move away from this image as much as possible, he oriented his brand for young and sexy fashionistas who prefer simple, concise clothes, whether it be a stylish dress or an impeccably tailored trouser suit.
In short, it is a more budgetary, youth brand that offers its customers casual-style clothing with a touch of recognizable Italian chic.
Armani was one of the first to understand that fashion needs to be made more democratic. When the first boutique of the brand was opened in Milan in 1981, they began to sell not only clothes, but also underwear and accessories, which served as an integral part of the image.
It was this brand that became the first in the history of the fashion industry, whose advertisement was placed on a huge billboard in the center of Milan.
Emporio translated from Italian means "empire", and this name became prophetic for the brainchild of Armani.
The symbol of the brand is a soaring eagle with the initials GA, which is known to everyone today. The logo is very often found on all kinds of Chinese fakes, which speaks volumes about its popularity.
More than 150 boutiques are open around the world, many are combined with bookstores, flower shops and even coffee shops.
For a long time, the brand published its own magazine - Emporio Armani Magazine. In 1989, the first restaurant was opened in London, followed by a line of home furnishings.
In 1997, the range was expanded to include wristwatches and decorative cosmetics, which are famous for their impeccable quality.
In 2002, a line of jewelry was launched, and in 2005, the brand joined the Product Red campaign, which aims to raise funds to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
All profits from the sale of Emporio Armani Red perfumes and accessories go to a fund to help African women and children fighting AIDS.
Among other things, the brand has participated in various collaborations with other brands. One of the most striking was the collection of fitness and yoga clothing, created in conjunction with the sports brand Reebok.
Gradually, this sports line has grown into an independent brand EA7, which currently produces modern technological clothing for all sports fans - amateurs and professionals.

The cut of outerwear is often called ideal, it fits perfectly on the figure, although girls notice that some jackets have wide sleeves.
