Ever been curious to get in the mind of Armani? Well, we can at least get a glimpse this week. The designer can now add ‘guest blogger’ to his resume as he is writing for the fashion section of the New York Times‘ blog The Moment.
The renowned designer writes about his arrival to the Big Apple for a new store opening, his Central Park West penthouse with too much light (poor Giorgio), and his dislike of commercialized holidays like Valentine’s Day. The first article is full of interesting tidbits into his world and pithy comments that make me want to hang out with him for a day.
“I ate spaghetti con pomodoro and basilico — and, here, I must interject something for your benefit. Americans overcook their pasta. Always. And there’s too much sauce. Too much of everything! Please, try to control yourselves.“
I wouldn’t add ‘journalist’ to his list of jobs quite yet, but Armani appears to have a knack for writing and telling it like it is. Look for more of his blog posts as the week continues.
