It was remarkable as it's worth pointing out that very rarely do you see the world of cinema and fashion collide so beautifully. The catwalk had 65 models inside the Arsenale, the restored old complex of shipyards and workshops near the venues of the Venice Biennale. Giorgio Armani presented a reinterpretation of Armani Privé’s last Paris fashion show, which had a harlequin theme.
Previously, Armani’s One Night Only event had only ever toured seven cities - London, Tokyo, Beijing, Rome, New York, Paris and Dubai.
