Okay, Yale will boast that their campus looks like Hogwarts (as will UPenn, Harvard, Vassar, etc.), but we, here at Columbia, can boast that our campus is minimalist and cool enough for the Emporio Armani Fall/Winter 2011/2012 campaign. Remember this?
If only we look like Karmen Pedera and Marlon Teixeira when we walk to class.

So we may have missed the aforementioned Armani photo shoot, but we’ll be getting the next best thing—arguably better, even! On April 16th, the Giorgio Armani Group will be open it’s doors to Columbia students for a site visit. The team will enlighten students on all the ins and outs of Human Resources, Marketing, Finance, and Retail Intelligence, as well as discuss resume building and how to best market yourself in today’s competitive fashion business world. Best of the best: they will discuss available internships and full-time job opportunities, and top the day off with a tour of the office. Personally, I’m already completely giddy.
Like you need to be reminded (and if you do, that’s quite alright), though Armani’s first focus was menswear, he has since branched out into other areas like accessories, eyewear, watches, jewelry, cosmetics, etc.. This doesn’t mean he’s lost any focus in his male-style eye. He did, after all, design the suit of Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) in Dark Knight.
Here are some of Giorgio Armani’s looks from his Spring/Summer 2010 line:

According to our lovely friends at Bwog, there was an Armani photoshoot on Broadway today! Unfortunately, we were too busy basking in the sun to check out the scene ourselves — but you can visit Bwog for more photos!
To our dismay, this wasn’t an Armani underwear advertisement à la David Beckham.
