For Clive Owen, Armani is a Spy's Best Friend

Posted Mar 13th 2009 at 10:29AM by Ben Widdicombe

Filed under: Men, Celebrities with Style

clive owenClive Owen opens next week in the romantic thriller "Duplicity," in which he and Julia Roberts play international spies who decide they can make more money exploiting a corporate cold war between two pharmaceutical giants. With those two on the screen, and a suitably James Bond-ian backdrop of gorgeous foreign locations, audiences may not be paying much attention to the clothes.

Giorgio Armani Gets Pinocchioed by PETA - Oscar Woes

Posted Feb 6th 2009 at 5:00PM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends, Green Fashion

PETA's ad featuring a photoshopped Giorgio ArmaniFollowing up on the escalating conflict between Giorgio Armani and the anti-fur crusaders at PETA, it looks like we could see some fireworks this month around Oscar time. As you may recall, after years of prodding Armani, it appeared that he was finally going to capitulate. Instead, he released a fall lineup filled with furry fashions. We don't know why he did it -- maybe just to tick PETA off. Now that PETA's going on an Oscar offensive, Armani may be wondering why he got into this slug fest.

Giorgio Armani is really in the doghouse with PETA now

Posted Sep 22nd 2008 at 10:50AM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Style for a Cause

As a high-profile clothing designer, you know that PETA's going to come at you with all they've got if you like to showcase fur in your collections, whether or not you've given any indication that you support animal rights. But, if you really want to make PETA angry, do what Giorgio Armani did. After reporting that PETA had convinced him to drop fur from his collections in an interview with Time last year -- he apparently had a little change of heart.

Instead of ditching fur in his designs, his fall lineup is covered up with the stuff. Chock full of fur coats, fur-hemmed skirts, and even fur coats for children (an unforgivable sin in the eyes of fur-haters) -- it's almost like Giorgio's latest designs were meant to publicly snub PETA . Ouch!

Now, according to the NYP, hardcore PETA groupies like Pamela Anderson are planning a serious counterattack against the perceived betrayal. Word has it that PETA devotees will put celebs that attend Armani shows "in the hot seat" as part of an attempt shun the superstar designer and his fur-loving fashions.

Julia Roberts turns designer for Giorgio Armani's (RED) label

Posted Sep 9th 2008 at 1:06PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Green Fashion

Out of all the Hollywood hotshots who have taken a shot at being a clothing designer, we wouldn't have expected Julia Roberts to jump on the bandwagon. However, she is trying her hand at designing, albeit for a good cause. The pretty woman is designing a t-shirt for Giorgio Armani's (RED) label.

The shirt will raise money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, an organization started in 2006 by Bono and Bobby Shriver. The charity has already gotten over $110 million from (RED) apparel and events.

I want that! Camilla Belle in Giorgio Armani

Posted Sep 1st 2008 at 7:37AM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Clothing, Get the Look

There is no other way around it. We heart Camilla Belle. She just seems like a sunny, au naturale Brazilian babe but with the most style, oh maybe, ever.

But our favorite part of this Annie Hall inspired ensemble besides Camilla herself? It's gotta be the high-waisted Giorgio Armani pants. They look like comfy sweatpants, only they are structured trousers. Tomato, tamato.

Wallace and Gromit - Britain's newest spokesmodels

Posted Aug 29th 2008 at 11:08AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


Celebrity spokesmodels have long been used to help stores and brands gain recognition and fans. Normally, the celebrities are people we want to emulate, like Kate Moss or Angelina Jolie. However, British department store Harvey Nichols is trying a slightly different type of model -- specifically, the claymation duo Wallace and Gromit.

I want that! Katie, er Kate Cruise's Holmes-Yang dress

Posted Aug 15th 2008 at 7:59AM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Get the Look


Katie Holmes is not in rolled up jeans. We repeat, Katie Holmes has ditched her manly jeans.

The movie "Tropic Thunder" wasn't the only thing premiering on August 11. Katie Holmes lost the Huck Finn look in favor of an absolutely stunning navy blue satin and leather dress from her own line, Holmes-Yang for Georgio Armani. It was the line's first appearance in public. Now this is the type of stuff she should be wearing!

• Holmes-Yang dress, Not yet available to the public but keep your eyes peeled!

Giorgio says Italians are too scraggly

Posted Jun 25th 2008 at 9:30AM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Italian names may rule the fashion industry, but that doesn't mean that the average joe is some kind of fashion dynamo. According to Giorgio Armani -- he's a shirtless slob. At least, that's what he told the Telegraph about the rampant casualness going on in the Italian fashion centers these days.

The 73 year old Global Fashion Leader thinks that Italy's hold on fashion elegance is slipping as a result of its increasingly lax attitude towards personal appearance. From the article:

"It is time to straighten ourselves out, we are too slovenly... Everything seems to be allowed, even eating and drinking in a church square while stripped to the waist."

Bruce Wayne gets an Armani makeover

Posted Jun 13th 2008 at 6:29PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Men, Celebrities with Style


Nothing but the best will do for Batman, that's for sure. He's got the Batmobile for Pete's sake, and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne lives in complete luxury. And so, it's only fitting that Bruce (played by Christian Bale) will be sporting Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure throughout the highly anticipated Batman flick, The Dark Knight.

Also fitting is the fact that Armani will be designing for a superhero, seeing as how last May he chaired the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition, Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy. Armani acknowledges that this line is the perfect choice for Batman's less rubber-ensconced side, saying, "As a Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure client, Bruce Wayne is demonstrating his status as a discriminating and sophisticated connoisseur of fine fashion, while also showing he has individual taste."

Hollywood's most fabulous tanning disasters

Posted May 13th 2008 at 9:04AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Celebrities with Style


While pale, porcelain skin is beautiful, it's hard to ignore the beauty of a bronze glow in the summertime. Who doesn't feel a little bit lovelier with slightly golden, sun-kissed skin? Notice we said slightly -- there's a big difference between being a little bit tan and looking like you've spent every day for the last three weeks baking on Miami Beach.

Giorgio Armani receives Couture Council Award for Global Fashion Leadership

Giorgio Armani is hot stuff in fashion right now. Well, he's always been hot stuff, that's nothing new. So it's no surprise that when it came time to name the first ever FIT Couture Council Award for Global Fashion Leadership, he was an obvious choice.

Armani makes rollerskates now?

Posted Apr 8th 2008 at 10:00AM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes, Men

I doubt these would appeal to the punky ladies of the local roller derby, and they're probably a little bit out of the wait staff's price-range at the neighborhood Sonic. Still, I guess if Marc Jacobs can make a shoe that looks like a doorstop, Giorgio is allowed to make roller skates -- at least these actually perform some kind of function. My only complaint is that they look like a pair of Fisher Price skates I once had -- only less cool.

Shouldn't skates being marketed by a fashion designer look well... fashionable? I think it would be really smart to play off of the classic roller skate look -- but if you're going to make them ugly, you might as well put those wheels in a straight line and call them rollerblades. Maybe drop the price a little too.

Buy for $425

Giorgio Armani gives himself a $364.5 million bonus

Posted Oct 2nd 2007 at 3:42PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Giorgio Armani is richWouldn't it be awesome to run your own company? Then your performance reviews would go like this:

Giorgio: Great job this year, buddy! You really raised the bar!
Armani: Why yes, thank you. You weren't too bad yourself.
Giorgio: Oh, stop. You're too kind.
Armani: Have I ever told you how attractive you are?
Giorgio: That's so sweet. Here's a 364.5-million-dollar raise.

In reality, according to WWD, Armani got the cash after he "paid himself a dividend of 100 million euros, or $126 million, and pocketed an additional 175 million euros, or $220.5 million, through a share transaction within his own company."

I'm not entirely sure what that means, except to say that if Giorgio Armani wasn't completely loaded before, he is now. That man is unstoppable.

Armani opens store in Second Life

Posted Sep 28th 2007 at 10:26AM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Stores We Love, Style in the News

Giorgio ArmaniOnly days after learning that Giorgio Armani is going geek chic with some sleek new gadgets for Samsung, today we find out that the world-famous designer is opening a new store -- in the virtual world of Second Life. The new shop will be a replica of Armani's flagship location in Milan, and will be opened by a replica of Armani himself (in the form of an avatar).

Sound like someplace you'd like to shop? You'll have to sign up for Second Life, and create your own virtual character. Residents of the online community can use Linden Dollars (Second Life's currency) to buy Armani outfits for their avatars, or get connected to the fashion maven's new online store if they're interested in purchasing items they can wear in real life (which they'll have to buy with real money).

With all the design wares now available in the Second Life, it won't be long before avatars are more fashionable than their real-life users.
