The stylist spoke about the love of Armani clothes in Russia

Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani was one of the main mastodons in the fashion world, and his brand's clothes were loved in Russia. Stylist Alexander Belov said this on Thursday, September 4.

Armani passed away earlier that day at the age of 91. According to Armani, the fashion designer died surrounded by his loved ones. He continued to work until his last days.

"He pioneered the use of jeans with a jacket, did a lot of other things, saw trends well and was a very talented fashion designer. I saw him when he was in Moscow, and I have a book signed by him at home. Armani impressed me as a very pleasant, kind and open person," the stylist said in an interview with NSN.

According to Belov, the numerous forgeries of Armani items that have flooded the country's clothing markets since the early 1990s have not discouraged Russians from loving this brand.
