Perfected minimalist fashion
Armani pioneered the minimalist movement in fashion, stripping away unnecessary embellishments and focusing on clean lines, muted colors, and timeless sophistication that continues to influence designers today.
Blurring gender boundaries
By borrowing elements from menswear and tailoring them for women, Armani created a modern and androgynous style that empowered women in professional and social spaces.
