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

Prada: progenitor of postmodern pastiche

June 14th 2007 00:44

In my habitual internet trawlings I came across quite a feat on the Prada website. Admittedly I didn’t much like this season’s collection but the means by which it is represented is a true cultural document. Prada demonstrates wit, self-reflexivity and pastiche in a way that many other ‘postmodernists’ should envy. As a European luxury brand, descended from a grand tradition to a commercial reality, Prada is a modern day icon but the self-representation offers an entirely new perspective on the brand.
