'Recovering at home', Giorgio Armani to miss fashion show for first time in his career
The designer, who will turn 91 in July, will not be at the Emporio Armani catwalk on Saturday or at the Giorgio Armani show on Monday, the statement said. It did not expand on his current health conditions.
Italian newswires reported on Friday that Armani had been in a Milan hospital for some days.
"Mr. Armani has worked with his usual dedication on the collections that will be presented," the company statement said, adding that although he could not be there in person, he will follow every step of the shows.
Known as "Re Giorgio" - King Giorgio - the designer is known for overseeing every detail of his collection and every aspect of his business, from advertising to fixing models' hair as they head out onto the catwalk.
At the end of all his shows, he comes out from backstage and onto the catwalk to greet his audience.
In his absence, Leo Dell'Orco, head of menswear design, will be doing so on his behalf, the group added.

Love Island hunk sparks concern as fans convinced he's suffered painful injury – did you see it?
LOVE Island fans are convinced Conor may have suffered a painful injury before the show after spotting a clue on the show. The rugby player, 25, recently sparked concern after he showed off his pearly white gnashers while in the villa. 4 4 4 Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a tooth missing from his upper right set and asked whether it might have happened on the show. One viewer wrote: "Not to be rude in the dental situation?" along with a picture of Conor and his missing tooth. But many fans took to reddit to explain that the missing tooth was likely a result of him playing rugby. This person shared: "Dental implants are very expensive and the process is long. He might not mind missing a side tooth which is fine! Genetic condition or a rugby injury perhaps? It's really not a big deal or anyone's place to judge." A second said: "He's played full contact rugby for years, I assume that was the cause. From following other players, they won't get a permanent fix until they retire from rugby because the chance is high it will just get damaged again." "Conor's teeth actually give his face character, they suit him. They are clean and look nice. Also he's a rugby player they tend to lose teeth it's high contact," a third commented. Another added: "He's a rugby player. There is literally no point getting your teeth done before you retire. My husband was missing his front tooth from rugby when I met him…I sorted that straight out ha!" While several other people defended the star's natural teeth. This viewer said: "It costs a fortune to get dental implants for regular people. He's attractive in any case. Better than the Turkey teeth." "I'd rather have real teeth like this than those piano keys the rest of them have got in their mouths," someone else fumed. Love Island star sparks fears she'll quit the show after tense bust-up saying 'she's going to walk' This person posted: "Teeth are unique to people? You're being rude. We don't all have turkey teeth! He probably lost it with rugby or whatever but yeah.. his teeth are unique to him." Conor's time in the villa hasn't been completely plain sailing after love interest Megan was dumped from the villa during a shock public vote. Since then, actress Megan has revealed that Conor slid into her DMs in the past. She told heatworld in an interview: "It's so funny, right? So on day one, Conor told me that he followed me on Instagram four years ago, and I never followed him back. "But then since coming out, I've seen that he follows me on TikTok and he's actually commented on one of my TikToks. "Again, I've not followed him back or even realised he had commented on one." She laughed: "So, yeah, it's nice that he's still trying four years later. "It's worked out for him now, I suppose." Eagle-eyed fans went wild over the theory that Megan and Conor knew each other before entering the villa - after photos seemingly showed them at the same nightclub. Old snaps show Megan with a pal in a night club, while another picture supposedly clocks Conor in the same club long before they entered the ITV2 dating show. The speculation comes after Megan was voted the least favourite girl by the public after an ugly split from Tommy. The Irish star was booted out the villa after finding herself in the bottom three girls, along with Shakira, Megan and Toni. The brunette bombshell's departure followed days of drama after she cracked on with Conor while in a couple with Tommy. 4

Lauren Sanchez dress ‘goes missing' during Bezos wedding
A vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress worn by Lauren Sanchez during her wedding celebrations in Venice has gone missing. Jeff Bezos's new wife had 27 outfit changes over the three-day extravaganza, but one of the most prized dresses is now nowhere to be found. The gown apparently disappeared when the Amazon founder and his fiancée were exchanging vows and rings on the tiny island of San Giorgia in the Venetian lagoon last Friday. Insiders with knowledge of the event confirmed that a dress was missing, and that they did not know what had happened to it. No report has been filed to the police. For such a lavish event, organised by the world's third richest person, there were a lot of outfits and items that could go missing from time to time, a source said. There is confidence that the garment will 'eventually turn up'. An Italian newspaper claimed on Thursday that the dress had been stolen by a gatecrasher, an 'elegantly-dressed' woman who managed to sneak into the nuptials on Friday despite not having an invitation. Corriere della Sera also claimed that a second dress, worn either by Ms Sanchez or Ivanka Trump, had somehow burst into flames during the wedding celebrations on the island. Both those claims were denied by insiders. The missing dress is one of 27 outfit changes that Ms Sanchez reportedly went through during the lavish three-day event last week. In addition to witnessing the exchange of vows on San Giorgio island, opposite St Mark's Square, guests were invited to a dinner inside a cloister attached to a historic church called La Madonna dell'Orto the night before and a pyjama party the next evening in the Arsenal, Venice's centuries-old shipbuilding yards. 'Locked down' Mr Bezos, who is worth $234 billion, is reportedly now on honeymoon with his new wife in Taormina in Sicily – the picturesque town where White Lotus was filmed. They are believed to be staying at the San Domenico Palace, one of the locations for the second season of the hit HBO show, which satirises the lives of the ultra-wealthy. Protesters in Venice decried the extravagance of the event, which reportedly cost $50 million, and accused Mr Bezos of using Venice as a playground for the super-rich. They had warned that the lagoon city would be 'militarised' and 'locked down' by the authorities because of the high profile of the wedding couple and their guests. However, in the end, little inconvenience was caused to most residents and tourists, who would have barely known about the wedding if they had not been watching the news. Venice's mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, said he was pleased and relieved that the nuptials went well. 'We're happy that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez chose our city to celebrate such a special moment in their lives. It confirms once again the universal appeal of Venice. This is our strength – to know how to be global without losing our authenticity. More than 600 couples – some famous, many less so – choose Venice each year as a place in which to marry.' 'The city was not locked down' Darco Pellos, the chief of police for Venice, said the authorities had struck a balance between allowing protests to take place while ensuring that the wedding celebrations went ahead without disruption. 'Those who wanted to protest were able to do so, the guests were able to attend the events without being concerned, and the city was not locked down,' he said. 'Locals and tourists alike were able to experience the city as normal.' The arrival of Mr Bezos's 200 guests was no big deal given that Venice is accustomed to absorbing more than 100,000 visitors a day, he said. He said he was relieved that there had been no untoward incidents – 'not even the throwing of a tomato.'

EXCLUSIVE Douglas Murray: Only an October 7th-style attack against a Western country would wake up the pro-Hamas mob at Glastonbury to the existential threat Israel faces
Douglas Murray launched a scathing attack on Glastonbury artists and festival-goers, branding their pro-Hamas stance a dangerous 'fetish' on the Mail's Apocalypse Now podcast. Speaking to special correspondent David Patrikarakos, the bestselling author and broadcaster drew a sobering parallel between the music event and Hamas 's attacks on the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023. Mr Murray argued that only by witnessing a similar terror attack on young Westerners would Glastonbury's 'moral reprobates' finally grasp the threat Hamas poses and Israel 's existential struggle. This year's Glastonbury courted controversy when punk-rap duo Bob Vylan led a televised crowd in chants of 'death to the IDF' – sparking a police investigation and condemnation from Prime Minister Keir Starmer. 'The festival at Glastonbury has long been a sordid and immoral affair', Murray said. 'There's always support for anyone who displays a hatred of the West. It is a shame because I think music should be a non-political place. 'The fact that somebody can get a crowd to chant death to the IDF is morally despicable. We all know what that really means. This year's Glastonbury courted controversy when punk-rap duo Bob Vylan led a televised crowd in chants of 'death to the IDF' 'The IDF is a citizen army, and Israel is the only Jewish state in the world. It means they're wishing death upon thousands of brave, young men and women who fight for their country and the survival of their people.' The Spectator columnist highlighted Bob Vylan's other chant - 'you want your country back, f*** that' – labelling it hypocritical from supporters of a supposedly anti-colonialist cause. The author argued: 'This is a man who is saying that he's against colonisation – but has expressed a desire to colonise my country, Britain. 'He expressed that desire while morons are flying Palestinian flags – presumably because they too are interested in the indigenous rights of the Palestinians. 'Well maybe the indigenous rights of the British people are worth protecting too. But they don't care about that because the standard only applies if it's anti-Western, anti us, in favour of literally anyone else.' According to Mr Murray, this naive 'anti-western cult', spawned by modern social justice movements, has chosen Palestine as its 'great fetish'. The bestselling author first tackled this anti-Western ideology in his 2022 book, The War on the West. His latest work, On Democracies and Death Cults, explores how these worldviews have shaped the Israel-Hamas conflict. 'The great fetish of these people's lives is the Palestinian people', Murray told the podcast. 'But what exactly do they think will happen if their pet fetish is ever allowed to win? 'The best-case scenario would be another Arab state in the region – which would be no more successful than say, Jordan. 'Palestine would likely be another outpost of the Mullahs, as long as they're still in power in Tehran. You'd just have yet another failed Arab state. 'You won't get an outbreak of world peace and love, as these people seem to believe. It's as if were Palestine to get a state, something magical would happen. 'Suddenly this unicorn would arrive and rights would be given to people all around the world, and trans people would be freed and there would be no more racism and injustice.' Exasperated, the cultural critic concluded his attack on the festival by issuing a grave warning. 'One wishes to resist the nastiest urges but… maybe the only thing that would ever wake up these moral reprobates at Glastonbury is if something like what happened at the Nova music festival happened to them or one of their friends. 'Not more than 18 months ago, a music festival like Glastonbury had hundreds of Hamas terrorists come into it. 'I heard first-hand how women were gang raped, shot in the jaw and tortured. I pray to God these people never have to discover the consequences of their own semi-thought.'
