Lux Vide, a Fremantle company, has announced the start of production on a major new series inspired by the life and extraordinary career of Giorgio Armani – a global icon of Italian excellence and the visionary who transformed fashion and redefined ‘Made in Italy’ modern elegance.

The project will be directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ferzan Ozpetek (Diamonds, Hamam, The Ignorant Fairies), whose distinctive artistic sensibility and internationally celebrated storytelling make him uniquely suited to bring Armani’s remarkable journey to the screen.

Conceived as an international television event, the series will explore the life and ambitions of Giorgio Armani, tracing the path of a man whose vision revolutionised the fashion industry and left an indelible mark on global culture.

At its heart, the story is one of creativity, determination and passion: an intimate portrait of the entrepreneur, innovator and visionary who built one of the world’s most admired luxury brands and created a timeless aesthetic recognised across generations and continents.

Fashion House Giorgio Armani has agreed to support the production, providing access to the House’s archives, creations and iconic locations, offering an unparalleled insight into the world and legacy of one of fashion’s most influential figures. 

The series will be produced by Lux Vide, a Fremantle company, in association with Faros Film. The subject and screenplay are by Ferzan Ozpetek and Francesco Arlanch.
