Giorgio Armani’s style — both personal and his iconic brand — continues to redefine fashion. His approach to style was one of modern Italian elegance, which is one of the reasons the late designer is often referred to as “The King” or “Maestro.”
This year marked both the 50th anniversary of the Giorgio Armani brand and the recent unfortunate death of Armani at the age of 91 — who inspired so many designers after him with his distinct pursuit of perfection.
Throughout the decades, WWD has photographed Armani wearing his signature eyewear both behind the scenes at his runway shows and at leisure. Notably, Armani’s wearing of rimmed rounded glasses helped make them an instant classic.
