If you had been a high-powered banker or businessman during the 1980s, you might well have worn an Armani suit. An essential feature in the wardrobes of the power dressers of that decade, the Armani suit came to symbolize these ambitious young professionals. Its design blended casual and formal looks as well as Eastern and Western cultural influences. In the 1980s, the Armani suit became a powerful fashion statement among those on the make and those who had it made. Its designer embodies raw talent.

若你在20世纪80年代曾是举足轻重的银行家或实业家,身上所穿的应该是一套阿玛尼西装.在那个年代,以衣着代表其身份地位的人的衣橱里一定少不了阿玛尼的服饰;阿玛尼西装俨然成了野心勃勃的年轻专业人士的款式,以及东方与西方文化的兼容并蓄.在20世纪80年轻,对于那些正在求取名利,或已经功成名就的人而言,它的设计师展现了与世俱来的设计天才.

Giorgio Armani was born near Milan, Italy in 1934.After two years of medical school and a brief period as a photograher, he entered the fashion world as a purchaser for a department store. But he would soon display a natural creative gift. Having had no formal training, he brought out his first collection of men's clothing in 1964 while employed by top Italian design house , Nino Cerrutti. He blished his own firm and the Armani brand first appeared in 1975.

乔治·阿玛尼在1934年出生于意大利米兰近郊。他曾在医学院修业两年,并当过短期的摄影师,在一家百货公司担任采购的职务。但他不久后便展现出其与生俱来的创新才能。未曾接受过任何正规训练的阿玛尼,受雇于意大利顶级设计师尼诺·契鲁迪的工作室,在1964年推出了他的第一季男装时装秀,而阿玛尼的品牌于1975年首度问世。

Until Armani arrived on the scene, fashion choices were limited to either rigid, formal suits, or the relaxed, overly casual hippie styles of the 1960s. Armani's loose, stylish jackets were seen as a welcome change. When the brand took off among women, Armani began designing for them, too. Many of hes garments geatured the color that now bears that came to be known as \"Armani greige\".

在阿玛尼问世之前,时装的选择不是局限于僵硬正式的套装,就是20世纪60年代随意、过度休闲的嬉皮风格。阿玛尼所推出的夹克宽松而有型,一般大众都乐于接受这种变化。当这个品牌受到女士们的欢迎时,阿玛尼也开始设计起女装。他的许多服饰的特点在于一种现在是以他的名字命名的颜色,即混合了淡棕色与灰棕色的“阿玛尼灰棕色”。

The attractive suits appealed to the wealthy young urban professionals-\"yuppies\" -of the 1980s. And when his designs-Worn by Richard Gerein American Gigolo began to appear in Hollywood movies, Armani 's reputation got a further shot in the arm. Agenuine artist, whose work has been the subject of special exhibitions at the New York and Bilbao Guggenheim Museums, Armani is now considered of of the giants of twentieth-century style.

这些极具魅力的大半深受20世纪80年代年轻富有的都市专业人士(雅皮士)的喜爱。当他设计的服装开始出现在好莱坞电影时——里查·基尔曾在《美国舞男》一片中穿着阿玛尼服饰,阿玛尼的名气更是如日中天。阿玛尼是一名不折不扣的艺术家,他的作品曾分别受邀于纽约和毕尔巴鄂的古根汉姆博物馆展出,他已被视为20世纪风格代表的世擘之一。
