So chic, so sexy! A survey of Armani menswear from 1975 to 1985 masterfully shot by Aldo Fallai. From tailoring, natural coloured separates, sportswear and 1940s influences, to clothing design for the films American Gigolo, The Untouchables and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Plus the most refined, romantic styling.
'Armani's supreme combinations of draped, crumpled, and bloused softness with the subtle authority of his muted palette have produced not only the ultimate statement of men's clothing during this period, but the definitive image of contemporary man'.
