Giorgio Armani: Fashion, Film & the Revolution of Tailoring

Описание: Giorgio Armani didn’t just redefine Italian tailoring – he reshaped global menswear. In this episode of The Luxury Dispatch, Tom Chamberlin is joined by Armani expert Peter Howarth and film producer Hani Farsi to explore how a boy from Piacenza became Hollywood’s first true fashion designer, transformed the unstructured jacket into a global uniform, and built an empire spanning film, red carpets, furniture, and hotels.

From American Gigolo to Miami Vice, from deconstructed tailoring to the rise of Emporio Armani, this conversation dives into the life, craft, philosophy, and legacy of the most influential designer of the past 50 years.
