This was the question I was faced with last week, as I went to speak to him for this week's Hello! (out Tuesday 23 October). Not owning a wardrobe full of Armani suits (sigh) I had to settle for a mad dash to Gap to pick up some semi-smart black trousers. Well, you couldn't even attempt to look as good as the "Family Armani", as they swept into the Met Hotel in all their to-die-for suited glory.
Giorgio and co were holding a cocktail party before they went to the Fashion Rocks event, and so I went with the photographer to try and snatch a word before they left. It was quite surreal, being ushered into a corner to have a little word with the Maestro himself, but he was very nice, quite chatty and such a professional - he had a very clear idea of how he wanted to present the event, steering the photographer round by his elbow and gathering his group of Beautiful People together for beaming family photographs.
The Beautiful People were mainly very friendly, and very beautiful, including beautiful ballet dancer Roberto Bolle, beautiful songstress Alicia Keys, beautiful heir to the empire Roberta Armani, and beautiful bullfighter Cayetano Rivera. Cayetano was very charming and very frank -telling me "I don't know a thing about fashion!"
He's not the only one. Later at Nobu, as Giorgio and his Beautiful People entered the restaurant, a couple of city slickers propping up the bar said very loudly: "Hey! That's Ralph Lauren!" I'm sure Armani would have found that quite funny.
