Numerous are the collections he has conceived and created, each with a distinct particularity, but all of them united by an extremely refined and elegant taste. The clothes Giorgio Armani has created for movie and theater stars are true works of art, which have been able to discreetly and powerfully enhance the personality of those who have worn them. The first theatrical engagement dates back to 1980, with dresses for Janis Martin in Schönbergal Teatro alla Scala's Erwartung. For film, too, the designer has worked extensively, curating the wardrobe for more than two hundred and fifty films.
