READ MORE American Gigolo (1980) a film starring Richard Gere is the consummate example of film and fashion connecting character to symbol. Styled in Giorgio Armani, Gere’s character is baptized in European flair—giving him a seductive, yet powerfully masculine and imposing charm the audience can do nothing but soak in. This is the first film in which Armani is introduced to Hollywood at large and stunningly so. It’s clear how revolutionary this wardrobe was as even today, the suits and stylings in American Gigolo feel fresh yet old fashioned. The classic Armani suits in their iconic drape-like fitting create the powerful epitome of the modern man. A look which continues to remain etched in a timeless history. #mensfashion #fashionreels #giorgioarmani #americangigolo #filmfashion
