Born July 11, 1934 in Piacenza, Italy, Giorgio Armani has created one of the most well-known and upscale fashion brands in the world. 'Giorgio' is the slightly more conservative of his two eyewear collections ('Emporio' being the other), though lighter materials have recently been introduced to compliment classic styling with a contemporary twist.

Armani designs for the thinkers - those who choose comfort over the superfluous. His design philosophy follows 3 golden rules: eliminate the superfluous, emphasize the comfortable, and acknowledge the elegance of the uncomplicated. Most importantly, Giorgio Armani glasses give the wearer presence.

Iris Optical has carried Giorgio Armani frames since the launch of our spectacles website in 2001. We increased the number of models we hold this year after the introduction of a brand new, more modern, range. For customers outside of London England, these frames can be ordered online as well as by phone. For customers in the UK, these frames are stocked in our London SE1 (Tower Bridge), Richmond TW9 and London E1 (City, close to Spitalfields Market) stores.
