At the Giorgio armani's One Night Only in Dubai, the Italian designer spoke with WWD about changes - major in the city and slow in the fashion industry.
Asked what attracted him back then to the project, Armani said “it was a great opportunity. Dubai was very exotic for me, and I have always been fascinated by the Middle and Far East and to imagine this stratospheric hotel, which could only be comparable to the American skyscrapers, was an occasion I could not miss.”Also, he cited a positive and solid relationship with Mohammed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar Properties, the local real estate giant here that, and his collaborators.
“I don’t want to seem like I’m lecturing anyone, but I do feel like a voice in the desert,” Armani confessed. “There’s this exasperated need to be present around the world, with brands wanting to prove their power, but this can be demonstrated in different ways, with a valid product that is wearable, not necessarily designed to cause a sensation and quickly forgotten. We really do need to slow down and I don’t think much has changed after the pandemic.
The open-air catwalk was dotted by silver palms and nestled under the Burj Khalifa and the skyscrapers, dancing fountains in the background, and popular Italian tunes as the soundtrack.Martin did not hold back, singing for about an hour, swinging from Prince’s “Rave Un2 the Year 2000” to some of Coldplay’s hits, including “Viva la Vida,” “Something Just Like This,” dedicated to Roberta Armani, and “My Universe” with BTS, and closing with “Earth Angel” by the Penguins.
Asked about her Emmy nomination for “Lovecraft Country,” Smollet, said “she was shocked, it was a dream, quite unexpected,” and that she was on set with Alison Janney, who was also nominated for “Mom,” shooting the Netflix thriller “Lou.” “I just screamed, it was very exciting.”Smollet said this was “so many firsts,” her first Giorgio Armani show and her first time in Dubai as well as “in this part of the world.
After wrapping “Knives Out 2,” she said right now she was just enjoying her time. “I’ve been traveling a lot, and it’s fun, but I’m going home and it’ll be nice to be in one place, be around my friends. I actually do need to unpack my suitcases and feel settled for a little bit.”
