Giorgio Armani prooves that he knows this fashion proverb: Give back to where you started out. He announced his new concept store in New York City - Armani / 5th Avenue, the same city where he opened his first US boutique in 1985.
In honor of his newest retail store, Mr. Armani will make a significant donation to The Fund for Public Schools via a grant for a multi-year, umbrella program entitled the Armani Arts Institute. The program will support diversified arts programs throughout the city’s public schools in some of the most under-served neighborhoods.
Well, programs like these help engage students in their schoolwork and provide them with an outlet to channel their creative energies. If it doesn’t work, they at least learn how to look polished, professional, and ready to embark upon a new career!
As a parent of a NYC public school student, I can attest to the importance of arts programs along with strong academics in our children’s education.”Giorgio Armani’s grant will go a long way towards expanding our efforts to bring quality arts education to all New York City public school students,” notes Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.
Once again, Mr Armani proves to be a class act.
