Giorgio Armani held a press conference after his show on Monday and put someone in the naughty chair for skipping his show. GA didn’t hide his frustration that Anna Wintour failed to make a front row appearance. “There are some people who prefer to snub the Giorgio Armani show and go to Paris,” he explained to reporters including WWD. “Why should I always be the moron [translating from an Italian expletive] to be penalized because of a person, who, for better or for worse, like or dislike it, is powerful? I feel penalized.” There’s more! “She said she was sending her people. But if you go to see your dentist and he puts you in the hands of his assistant, what’s your reaction? They told me, ‘She went to see the Prive in Paris; she has no time to see the ready-to-wear in Milan.’ She is influential and powerful. But, perhaps, I’m influential as well.” Hopefully Anna will send Giorgio some floss and this matter will be resolved ASAP.
