My Fashion Life

Silver haired fox, and one of our favourite designers, Giorgio Armani received the Légion d’Honneur from the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy yesterday at the Elysée Palace in Paris. Friends of the designer including Carine Roitfeld (editor-in-chief of French Vogue) and Tina Turner turned up for the ceremony in which Sarkozy paid tribute to Armani’s 35 year career in the fashion industry, and in particular his ability to, “appeal to people from all walks of life, all over the world.”

Giorgio Armani plays guest editor to The Independent’s “African Issue” on stands today. Half of all revenue made from sales will be donated to the RED initiative, created to help fight aids in Africa.

What’s interesting is the decision to use a black Kate Moss for its front cover, surely an African model such as Alek Wek, Liya Keybede or Iman would have had more significance.
