That is true, but he did work for years as a designer for Cerruti and then freelance before opening his own company at around 40 years old. In the next few weeks I will highlight some of the things that made his rise to the top so unique and yet a perfect example of how to succeed in the fashion business.
Yes, Scorcese did a documentary that weas great. Even better was a show I saw on A&E that followed Armani for about a year. It showed the real Armani screaming at assistants and preparing for a show, traveling to his stores and vacationing. Now you have made me want to watch it again. I will try and find the name and if it can be purchased.

Isn’t it true that Armani had no formal training and began his career in retail, doing window displays?

Didn’t Martin Scorcese direct a small documentary about Armani? If so, is it worth watching?
