[Write 2 Speak]

Armani is known all across the world for being a leader in style. The Italian fashion house was founded by legendary designer Giorgio Armani in 1975. It is today one of the fashion world’s most prestigious names. It produces a wide range of clothes, accessories, glasses and cosmetics. All of these are carefully branded as ‘sub-labels’ to target different markets. The Giorgio Armani collection is one of the most expensive in the world. For the not-so-rich, there is the Armani Exchange, which has more moderately priced items. The company operates several hundred stores around the world. Armani is branching out into luxury tourism by opening a chain of stylish, 5-star boutique hotels and resorts in the world’s trendiest cities. The first opened in Dubai in 2010 in Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building.
