Over the weekend Mr. Armani continued his debut Australia visit with a weekend packed with style, sound and surf.
On Friday, after a being honored by The Sydney Theatre Company, Mr. Armani wanted to experience a taste of Sydney’s “cool scene,” making an impromptu arrival at a new Sydney hotspot, Trademark.
After arriving through a secret back entrance with Vogue Australia and GQ Australia editors Kristie Clements and Grant Pearce, Mr. Armani hit the dance floor with Ksubi queen Pip Single, who together with Christine Centenera established Chicks on Deck - a monthly DJ night at the club.
On Saturday, actor Russell Crowe introduced players from his beloved South Sydney Rabbitohs to Mr. Armani – the designer of the official Rabbitohs suits for the South Sydney rugby league team.
The world famous designer revealed his love of the “Grande, Grande” game during their meet-and-greet session at Maroubra Beach. “It’s a very big sport, very big players,” said Mr. Armani. “It gives me a sense of power [to watch]. I’m very happy that from 16th position, they’re now seventh with my suits on. Russell’s very good. He believes a lot in the team.”
Mr. Armani expressed his love for Sydney to The Sunday Telegraph - “I’m loving Sydney very much, the ocean and the sun have given me an extra boost of energy today. And the atmosphere in Sydney is fantastic.”
