About Emporio Armani
Emporio Armani sits below the main line at lower prices for a younger customer, and its eagle logo is more widely recognised than the parent brand's plain wordmark. Running tiers under one designer's name was unusual when it launched. Its runway shows are staged separately from the main line, and the tier accounts for a substantial share of the group's revenue despite the lower prices.
