Today, Signor Armani turns… well, a lady never reveals her age. But it is Giorgio’s bday, which is naturally a cause of much celebration at Ten HQ (any excuse). I mean, what else is he but the daddy of Italian fashion? Proof: the following images, pillaged from Ten’s archives – where his oh-so luxurious clothing (either under his name or under its baby brother, Emporio) were shot betwixt our pages.
Consider it our gift to you, Mr Armani. Happy birthday. Or, if you would prefer, in your mother tongue: buon compleanno. Did we say it right?
