GIORGIO ARMANI COLLABORATES WITH MARTIN SCORSESE AND LEONARDO DICAPRIO FOR “THE WOLF OF WALL STREET”

In his latest film collaboration, Giorgio Armani’s signature style is featured in Academy Award®-winning director Martin Scorsese’s much-anticipated film, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” about Wall Street stockbroker Jordan Belfort. For the production, Giorgio Armani worked with acclaimed costume designer Sandy Powell, who has won Academy Awards® in costume design for “The Young Victoria,” “The Aviator,” and “Shakespeare in Love,” and has been nominated in the prestigious category ten times.  As Wall Street tycoon Belfort, the film’s star Leonardo DiCaprio is featured in Giorgio Armani's period style, circa 1993. 

Giorgio Armani will also present the Paris premiere of the movie on December 9^th and the world premiere in New York on December 17^th. The movie opens December 25^th in the United States and globally throughout December and January. 

Giorgio Armani said, “The era of power dressing on Wall Street projected tremendous amounts of resolute strength.  I remember the period well, when my deconstructed suiting emerged as an emblem of success. The complex character of Jordan Belfort required a look with the same unmatched nerve and sense of self. It was an honor to collaborate with the revered Sandy Powell and again with my long-time friends, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. As a devotee of film, it was a privilege to be in the company of geniuses of cinema like Marty and Leo.” 

Said Martin Scorsese, “Giorgio Armani revolutionized male fashion design – he gave us a new idea of elegance that was, and still is, a perfect fit with the times. Giorgio and I have collaborated together many times over the years, and it was a joy to do so once again, to go back in time to tell a story that authentically showcases the style of the early 90s."

Said Sandy Powell, "The Armani look of the 90s was among the most widely influential menswear styles of that era and we endeavored to capture that same iconic look through our partnership with the Mr. Armani and his team. I was thrilled to be allowed access to his archives, which enabled us to capture the true to life spirit of men's fashion from that decade." 
  
Giorgio Armani has been on the forefront of creating wardrobe looks for major motion pictures since he pioneered the movement by dressing Richard Gere in “American Gigolo” in 1980.  Since then, hundreds of films have incorporated designs by Giorgio Armani, including “The Dark Knight Rises,” “The Dark Knight,” “The Untouchables,” “Gattaca,” “Stealing Beauty,” “Shaft,” “The Tuxedo,” “De-Lovely,” “Ocean’s Thirteen,” “Fair Game,” “The Social Network,” and “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.”
