Paris (France), 8 July (LaPresse/AP) – For the first time in 20 years, Giorgio Armani was not present in Paris for the fashion week shows. A few days before his 91st birthday and following doctors' advice after a recent hospitalisation, Armani reportedly supervised the show remotely from home. This is not the first major show Armani has missed this season. Just a few weeks ago, he was forced to miss Milan Fashion Week for the first time in the brand's history, following a brief hospitalisation. According to the brand, his absence was a precautionary measure to save his energy for his appearance in Paris.
