GIORGIO ARMANI/6

Inspired by black and white movies, and by the feel of the Twenties and Thirties in America, his style opts for sharp, clean-cut designs and cold colors: beige, grey and greige, a new shade somewhere between grey and earthy sand, although Armani-blue is the distinguishing trademark color.

Another source of inspiration for Armani is the oriental and Arabic cultures. In fact, he gave some of his items of clothing Korean collars, and coats similar to the djellaba, which were marketed in 1990, when The sheltering sky was in the cinemas. His Armani Casa collection was designed with patterns inspired by Muslim architecture and Ming and Quing chinaware.
