My philosophy has always been to help women and men feel comfortable and confident through the clothes they wear.

Youth culture adopts Armani and adapts it in its own way, as befits youthful enthusiasm.

Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.

To be the best in your field is a great ambition, and requires discipline and a huge amount of effort. The athletes who possess this drive are the ones I am attracted to.

I am impressed with America's capacity for change, and their ability to bring someone as inspirational as Barack Obama into the White House.

Elegance does not catch the eye. It stays in memory.

The difference between style and fashion is quality.
