Giorgio Armani talks Travel

Giorgio Armani

An enticing article titled, “Heaven and Hell: Celebrities talk about their best and worst Holidays” appeared in this weekend’s Telegraph.co.uk. Amongst the famous and not so famous faces to talk travel was the iconic Giorgio Armani.

Leading a privileged life forever synonymous with style, elegance and class it is refreshing to read Armani’s thoughts on what meets his high standards of excellence in an arena outside of clothing.

While most of us may never attain anywhere near the level of notoriety or finances that facilitate a globe trotting lifestyle, there are always lessons to be gleaned from listening to a seasoned jet setter. Someone for whom the superficial allure of hotel living and room service luxury lost its appeal, replaced with more customised requirements.

Though he lists his favourite holiday destination as his "boat moored off Mariu", (Not very practical advise for us commoners who will never get an invite) other answers are much more helpful.

When quizzed about his biggest packing mistake Giorgio’s answer is much more in synch with the everyday. He says “Forgetting my sunglasses when going to a sunny destination. And forgetting my swimming trunks when going to stay in a city hotel where there is a swimming pool.”

So what is the megastar of the fashion worlds favourite hotel to stay in? “There are so many that it is difficult to pick just one….” The Italian Designer continues “From 2008 I look forward to staying at my first Armani hotel. It will be in Dubai, and I am currently finalising the interior design".

When asked “What's your best piece of travel advice?” Armani replies, “Pack a capsule wardrobe that is versatile enough for different events - you never know what you may end up doing. So at least one smart jacket or suit and a white shirt, as well as your holiday T-shirts and jeans.”

Please visit telegraph.co.uk to read the full article and discover some of the things he hates. Plus why his next journey will possibly be a return to the land of Koalas and Kangaroos

A Strange, New World of Accessories

September 9th 2007 07:07

I don't know when it happened, but the humble accessory, once an interesting pair of earrings, has morphed into strange objects of vogue. I blame this on the co-habitation of the Consumer Culture and the Technological Age. Their love child is Consume-Tech, the dirty beast that requires people to have things, not out of interest or appreciation, but because everyone else has it. You know when someone says, "I'm going to the shops. Would you like anything?", and you feel the urge to make a request, but you can't actually imagine an object in your mind? That is a symptom of the cultural atmosphere of today: you simply must have something, anything at all.

One object that people feel the need to update update UPDATE is the mobile phone. Apparently, for one to be stylish, one must purchase an updated version of these gadgets every two months. I am therefore a total dag, as you can't even get a new battery for my phone and it was only released two years ago. Today's phones hold a microcosm of your world: your address book, your camera, your photo gallery, your video camera and associated home movies, your mp3 player, a radio, navigator systems, mirrors and they may even make phone calls too. It can't be singularly planed either - it has to flip, slide or rotate. Call me Aunty Mable, but I just don't get why something that is hidden most of the time is considered more desirable than a pair of Christian Louboutin's
