Emporio Amani Watches Review
(Affordable Fashion Icons)
Armani, founded in 1975, itself is one of the most recognizable brands in the world and has a rich history of producing stunning products made from some of the finest materials. The clothing line is still seen as a status symbol these days and has been the epitome of high-fashion for many years now. But, it was only a matter of time before Armani wanted to go after the masses, and Emporio was born in the early 1980s.
The Emporio line proved to be a hit in Europe and other parts of the world so Mr. Armani decided to try to tap into the gigantic American fashion market. Thus the Armani Exchange was created in 1991 with low-priced, fairly basic products that were very affordable and had a very high-end name attached to them. The name alone most likely sealed the deal for them to break into the American market.
You can ask just about anyone you pass in the street and ask them if they recognize the name Giorgio Armani, and 99 of 100 will answer “yes”. The man single-handedly revolutionized men’s fashion and has made himself a household name in the last 40 years. It would be safe to say a foray into the more budget-conscious watch category should be exciting.
