Giorgio Armani is the latest Italian fashion icon to suffer a serious case of foot in mouth, announcing in a new interview over the weekend that he believes gay men should not dress in a ‘homosexual’ fashion. “A homosexual man is a man 100%. He does not need to dress homosexual,” the designer told The Sunday Times Magazine. “When homosexuality is exhibited to the extreme – to say, ‘Ah, you know I’m homosexual,’ – that has nothing to do with me. A man has to be a man,” he added. With that in mind, we thought we’d have a look at some of the designer’s manliest designs of recent years: ( By Nick Bond from Attitude.co.uk ) Note: In the same interview Mr. Armani told the UK’s Sunday Times Magazine that Gianni Versace once compared his clientele to Armani’s: “He was looking at the models, and he said to me, ‘I dress sluts. You dress church ladies.’ But Donatella has fired back: “I find it extremely rude and tasteless that Mr. Armani has once again put words into my brother’s mouth, especially because he is sadly no longer with us to reply . . . This is the second time he claims this was said. The first was immediately after his death, and he apologized to me. When my brother spoke about fashion, the only word that ever came from his mouth was glamour. What should be said about my brother is: May Gianni Versace rest in peace.”
