Giorgio Armani S.p.A.
 PROFILE
The chic appeal of "an Armani" began when Giorgio Armani created a men's fashion boom by clothing actor Richard Gere in "American Gigolo" in 1980. Armani is known for the sleek yet unstructured look of its men's and women's suits. The company licenses its name for perfume, watches, and accessories, but apparel still accounts for more than half of revenues. Armani's retail empire spans more than 30 countries and includes some 260 stores. Armani owns 53% of Simint, the Italian holder of the Armani jeans license, and it's moving the production of other lines in-house. Despite persistent flotation flirtations, the designer maintains ownership of his company.
