Eye: Giorgio Armani's New York Tour
Wednesday, May 07, 2008
Looking no worse for wear after the Costume Institute gala at the Met, the designer did a question-and-answer session at the Fashion Institute of Technology early in the day, then headed uptown to the Hearst Tower, where the Couture Council of The Museum at FIT gave him the first Couture Council Award for Global Fashion Leadership. When he and Glenn Close ascended the escalator, dozens of black-clad men and women broke into applause. A Swarovski-sponsored luncheon hosted by Harper's Bazaar and its editor in chief, Glenda Bailey, attracted the likes of Sarah Larson, Eugenia Silva and Ziyi Zhang.
