A must watch for fashion lovers, ARMANI AND THE BIRTH OF ITALIAN FASHION is a fascinating, star-studded documentary that traces the rise of Italy’s style empires through the story of the legendary families that have been ruling it for decades and have defined an era: Armani, Versace, Gucci, Valentino, Missoni, Zegna, Ferragamo, Dolce&Gabbana, Prada, and beyond.

In his final interview on screen, Giorgio Armani reflects on his life and his brand's undeniable influence on Italian fashion and taking America by storm with the wardrobe for Richard Gere in American Gigolo (1980). Set against Milan’s lavish and exclusive fashion sanctuaries, amidst ateliers, runways, and private retreats, the film explores creative rivalries, personal stories and the enduring love affair between Hollywood and Italian designers.

Featuring insights from fashion icons, actors, industry insiders and collaborators, including Sharon Stone, Tom Ford, Helen Mirren, and Samuel L. Jackson, Armani and the Birth of Italian Fashion delivers an intimate portrait of ambition, elegance, and the making of modern luxury in an industry of glamour, discipline, and power.
