Armani is credited with being the man who turned Red Carpet fashion into a phenomenon. He’s also the man who began banning ultra-thin models from his fashion shows, after the death of model Ana Carolina Reston from complications of anorexia nervosa. Perhaps most importantly, Armani is the look that those who aren’t known for wearing cutting edge fashion, but elevator sport sneaker shoes need to look good on the Red Carpet go to for public appearances. Actress Jodie Foster wears Armani. Actor Cuba Gooding Jr., famous for his “show me the money” performance in the movie Jerry Maguire that won him an Oscar, was jokingly alleged to have said, “Show me Armani” when shopping for a tuxedo for the Academy Awards.
