Giorgio Armani: Empire of the Senses

In 1987, the author purchased his first GQ, and Giorgio Armani caught his imagination. As a scholar, Potvin (Concordia U., Canada) has cultivated this special interest and has written about cultural and material aspects of fashion in books and articles. Here he offers a thoroughly researched account of Armani’s aesthetic and corporate and cultural strategies over the years. Abundant b&w photos support the text.
