MILAN — Welcome to Giorgio a-go-go.
With an energy level that would exhaust even the fittest, the designer landed in New York Sunday for a 48-hour whirlwind visit that included checking in on the progress of his new flagship, attending the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute gala, making a personal appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue, being honored with the first Couture Council Award for Global Fashion Leadership and participating in a question-and-answer session with students at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
