Giorgio Armani says his career is 'intense'

Fashion designer Giorgio Armani says his career is "intense" because he has to constantly juggle his workload, although his hectic work life makes him feel energised.

The 83-year-old veteran, who founded his eponymous label in 1975, still loves his job because he thinks it motivates him to "keep going", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Speaking to Glamour magazine, Armani said: "I like fashion because it forces you to keep going and to observe what's going on around you. This is why I love my job and why I devote myself to it with passion. My days are really intense, but I must say that dividing my attention between many different things is an invaluable stimulus. It gives me energy."

"I still face new challenges with the same enthusiasm I had right at the start. The motivation for this is always the same: to create something that makes a difference, that lasts over time, that responds to a need and expresses an idea of what is beautiful," he added.

The mogul, who has worked with a variety of stars including Richard Gere, Nicole Kidman and Viola Davis, believes creating garments is "simple yet complex" because he has to make a product that will make the wearer "unforgettable".
