Giorgio Armani Men's Collection – Spring-Summer 2024

Jun 20, 2023 | Weaving a story. The Giorgio Armani Men’s SS24 Collection represents a new storyline composed of familiar elements, but narrated from different angles to weave a new story. Forms are soft and lengthened, intertwining threads either explicit or evoked in prints that imitate knots, weaves with a summery feel and geometry multiplied for rhythm. The body is never overtly exposed but the energy that animates the lightweight volumes is palpable. Intertwining notes of blue, sand and natural tones provide the chromatic completion to this particularly light and fresh collection, which includes shoes and sandals similarly characterised by knots and weaves. It's a story in which everything comes together.

Armani Tells Gay Men, 'Don't Dress Homosexual'

THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: Legendary fashion designer Giorgio Armani shares his views on gay men, ageing women and spending too much time in the gym

One of the world's most famous fashion designers has appeared to condemn gay men for dressing "homosexual".

Giorgio Armani, who has never denied that he is gay, said "a man has to be a man".

The outspoken 80-year-old also criticised men who work out too much, saying he does not like muscle.

"A homosexual man is a man 100%. He does not need to dress homosexual," Armani said.

"When homosexuality is exhibited to the extreme - to say, 'Ah, you know I'm homosexual,' - that has nothing to do with me. A man has to be a man." » | Lyndsey Telford | Sunday, April 19, 2015

The Devil Wears Prada, But the Church Wears Armani

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The devil may wear Prada but the Roman Catholic Church has opted for Armani.

Giorgio Armani has designed vestments for a bishop for the inauguration of a new church on the tiny Mediterranean island of Pantelleria, where the designer has a holiday hideaway perched on top of a cliff.

The 76-year-old designer, Italy's fourth richest man with an estimated fortune of £4.2 billion, decorated the pale green robe with embroidered symbols of the island, including starfish, shells and olive sprigs.

Armani has strong links to the island, an extinct volcano which lies between Sicily and the coast of Tunisia, its name deriving from the Arabic Bent el-Riah, or daughter of the winds.

He has been holidaying there for nearly 40 years and in 2006 was made an honorary citizen.

"It's not about trying to be fashionable," said the bishop. "It was an initiative aimed at involving a fashion designer who loves Pantelleria and to capitalise on his originality in the service of faith and ultimately of God. Read on and comment » | Nick Squires | Tuesday, April 03, 2011
