Which film featured costumes designed by Giorgio Armani, starring Richard Gere?

American Gigolo featured costumes designed by Giorgio Armani and starred Richard Gere.

The 1980 film, written and directed by Paul Schrader, follows Julian Kay, a high-priced escort in Los Angeles played by Gere. Armani's clothes are prominent throughout the character's wardrobe, helping turn the film into a landmark moment for both the actor and the designer.

American Gigolo is widely credited with establishing the Giorgio Armani brand in Hollywood. Its relaxed tailoring, soft shirts, and understated luxury gave Gere's character a distinctive image that contrasted with the rigid suits commonly associated with masculine authority at the time. The film helped popularize Armani's modern, unstructured approach to menswear.

A common mix-up concerns the soundtrack: the movie's score was composed by Giorgio Moroder, while the costumes were associated with Giorgio Armani. The film also featured the Blondie hit “Call Me,” written with Moroder. Neither Wall Street nor Pretty Woman is the canonical answer to this costume question.
