This is actually a duplicate of this site, which is used more: This is one of the largest of Armani Exchange, simply symbolize by "AX," stores to be found anywhere. It's loaded with tourists and travelers, most of whom are not English speaking or if they do speak English, do so with the heavy accents of their native tongues. What brings them here are Armani bargains galore. A prime example of this relates to one of my experiences in Milano, Italy. The CMG, Color Marketing Group, has just some out with its color of the year, Coral, but more specifically later tagged as SW 6066 by Sherman Williams and though marketed under varying names generally recognized as being "Coral Reef," which oddly enough appears to me to be hardly indistinguishable from the famous Ford Motorcar Company's 1955 color of the year, "Coral Cashmere." Anyway, while at the Armani store I spotted and polo type shirt in coral but was totally aghast by the price at 219 Euros, that being when the Euro was pegged at exchange rate of $1.41US to the Euro; outrageously expensive. To my surprise, I found this exact very same shirt here at Armani Exchange for $39.00; a whopping savings over what I would have had to pay in Europe, and what clearly explains the number of Europeans who do their fashion shopping here instead of in Europe. Better yet, even though most European clothing tends to run smaller, easily found and purchased one in my size though I didn't appreciate my wimpy little Italian accented clerk who in a rather loud voice announced to everyone within hearing that I was size "Super Super Grande." The displays and setups within this Armani store are not nearly as decorative or ornate as those of other Armani Exchange stores, but the service is just as good if not better, the inventory larger and the selection greater; all at what are tremendous savings. For those slaves of color and fashion, the in the know women of style and the gurls of Wilton Manors and East Boca, here's an insider tip. The designated colors of the year 2016, intended to make your color coordinated purchases of 2015 obsolete, seem to be coming out in somewhat of a split with "Red Monkey," honoring its Year of the Monkey for clothing made in China and for Europe, in which Pantone seems to be the leading dictator, a rather ugly Pantone #17-1464 THC, known as a "Marsala" but if actually anything close to a Marsala, to me has the reddish to brownish hues of a spoiled one; no wonder China is becoming the lead in fashion.
