Founded in Milan back in 1975 by the Italian designer, Georgio Armani and his partner Sergio Galeotti, Armani is just as about as big as they get when it comes to a classic Italian luxury designer brand. Rising to prominence in the 1980s through various subcultures, Armani paved the way for a new generation of fashion designers with the introduction of numerous sublabels' supplying everything from fragrances to flowers. The first designer brand to ban the use of catwalk models with a BMI less than 18 and an annual turnover in its billionaires, Armani has been setting the bar for other designer brands for the last 40 plus years.

Armani Jeans were a key look of the original Panianro, usually worn with Moncler down jackets and Timberland boots. The Casuals of the mid to late 1980s also had a penchant for all things Armani with the designer brand a testament to the crossover Casual styles of the era where Armani jumpers became just as common on the dancefloors of the Hacienda as they did in the stands of a Hibbs game. From the original Acid House scene of the late 80s and early 90s to the designer clad terraces of the mid noughties, Armani has seen its fair share of subcultural appreciation.
