GIORGIO ARMANI & EMPORIO ARMANI

This former window dresser and one-time medical student now holds the claim to being the prince of minimalist glamour. Starting out as a designer for Nino Cerruti in the '60s, Armani broke away in 1970 to begin his own freelance design business, first with menswear, then adapting those same pieces for women. This crossing over between men's and women's fashion -- relaxed, unstructured silhouettes for men; aggressive, masculine cuts for women -- became his hallmark as he lead the '80s trend of the power suit and redefined the notion of corporate dress. Known for a muted color palette of blacks, whites, and grays, Armani's sleek, easy-fit garments have clad many a Hollywood starlet -- and landed their creator a retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in 2000.
