Armani celebrates 20 Years of Privé with an exhibition in Milan
Opening to the public on May 21 and running until year's end, Giorgio Armani Privé 2005–2025 will showcase 150 meticulously crafted garments, curated by the designer himself. The exhibition is a timely reassertion of Armani's aesthetic authority in an age of flash and noise.
For the first time, the Paris-presented couture pieces, traditionally unveiled during the official haute couture seasons in January and July, will be on full display in Milan. There is symbolism in this return: a homecoming, perhaps, but also a subtle repositioning of Italian savoir-faire and Made in Italy craft as an epicenter of global style.
Across the silos' cavernous expanse, visitors will witness the evolution of Armani Privé through fabrics spun in luxury, hand-embroidered embellishments, and silhouettes engineered with architectural precision, At Armani, form is never dictated by trend but by a disciplined pursuit of clarity.
Armani has long been the standard-bearer of an aesthetic that resists excess and eschews spectacle. In an era when fashion is often designed for the feed rather than the fitting room, the exhibition is a compelling reminder that enduring style is not built on provocation, but on patience, precision, and purpose.
What the retrospective ultimately affirms is that Armani's vision—grounded in the fluidity of tailoring, the sensuality of structure, and the quiet power of impeccable detail—is not only intact, but resurgent. 20 years into haute couture, the designer's credo holds: elegance is not about being noticed, but about being remembered.

Vincent Simone backs Strictly Come Dancing to air for at least another 10 years
Vincent Simone backs Strictly Come Dancing to air for at least another 10 years The 46-year-old dancer featured on the BBC's Saturday night staple - which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year - between 2006 and 2012 and believes that the programme's immense popularity will see it remain on screens for a long time to come. (Image: BBC) Vincent Simone expects Strictly Come Dancing to air for at least another decade. The 46-year-old dancer featured on the BBC's Saturday night staple - which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year - between 2006 and 2012 and believes that the programme's immense popularity will see it remain on screens for a long time to come. Vincent exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think it will carry on for at least another 10 years. I mean, I don't see why not. "We meet all the Strictly fans who come and see our own shows and they just love it too much. It's the best excuse to get together, families or friends, a bunch of ladies, and they just gossip about the show, they just get entertained from amazing dancing or, you know, fit celebrities. "There is everything in that show and every year you have the variety because you get 16 new celebrities joining the show so it's going to be fresh. You can't say, 'Oh it's always the same thing', yes, they might do the same dances but every person is so individual, especially when they have character and personality. "It's an amazing show. I can't see it ever ending but I will say at least another 10 years just by meeting the fans at the stage door afterwards, they're just obsessed with the show. They will always watch it, no matter what." Vincent felt the time was right to leave Strictly when he announced his departure in 2013 but revealed that he would be open to a return to the programme, particularly after watching his friend Ian Waite thrive on Dancing with the Stars - the Australian version of the show. The Italian star said: "When I left, I thought that was the right time. I was super busy and it go the point where it was seven years in a row, it got to the point where I just needed a change. I did get my change with West End shows and so many other things. "I think now with age, like Ian is taking part in the Australian version. He loves it, he's doing really well. When you watch him dancing with these celebrities on the Australian version you think, 'Oh my gosh'. For me, because he's my friend, but for me he still has it. He could easily be on Strictly the UK version and I like to think that I could do the same because I could bring my personality and my dancing. "So I wouldn't mind that as a challenge at some point." Vincent will appear with ex-Strictly pros Ian Waite, James Jordan, Brendan Cole and Pasha Kovalev in The Return of the Legends tour this autumn and revealed that the shows will be bigger and better than last year's sell-out tour. He said: "We've got a semi-new show coming up and we're all looking forward to it because obviously it's been nearly a year. It will be nice to be back all together and come out bigger than last year. Article continues below "We're also gonna have our solos which for me personally are the most special numbers in the show, when each individual couple gets the stage on their own and for me that's just magic. Everybody has the chance to showcase their talent and their own style of dance. I'll be doing my Argentine Tangos, Ian will be doing his beautiful ballroom dances and Pasha, the Latin king, will be doing his Samba numbers and so on." The Return of the Legends tours nationwide from 5th September until 17th October:

Brooklyn Beckham roasted by celebrity chef as Dad David offers olive branch
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Brooklyn Beckham has found himself in hot water over his latest culinary creation — and we don't mean the pasta water. The 26-year-old aspiring chef shared a video on Instagram this week showcasing his take on spaghetti carbonara, starting the clip with a cuddle from two dogs before moving to the stove. But while his 16 million followers got a step-by-step look at his recipe, not everyone was impressed – least of all celebrity chef Aldo Zilli. Zilli didn't hold back, accusing Brooklyn of 'burning the guanciale' and 'jumping on the cooking bandwagon.' The Italian-born chef said: 'Burning guanciale [bacon lardons] would cause it to become bitter, hard and make the carbonara taste terrible – maybe he needs a masterclass from Aldo Zilli! Stop changing recipes!' Brooklyn's followers piled on, with comments ranging from, 'You burnt your guanciale, made it black,' to, 'What in the extremely charred pork cheek is going on here??' Brooklyn, however, defended his method, replying: 'Guanciale has a lot of sugar in that's why it's darker. I slow cooked it so it's not burned.' The culinary criticism comes against the backdrop of ongoing rumours of a family rift between Brooklyn, his wife Nicola Peltz, and his famous parents. More Trending The couple notably skipped David Beckham's lavish 50th birthday celebrations in May, fuelling speculation that tensions had deepened. But there may be signs of a thaw. In what many are reading as an olive branch, David, 50, quietly liked Brooklyn's carbonara post – his first public show of support in months. The football legend and wife Victoria, 51, were recently enjoying a summer holiday in St Tropez with their other children, while Brooklyn and Nicola remained Stateside. Whether the Beckham family peace talks will be served up as quickly as Brooklyn's pasta remains to be seen, but for now, it looks like the guanciale isn't the only thing simmering. Got a story?

Ex Celtic striker joins Conor McGregor's pub team as Matt O'Riley Hoops love affair continues
O'Riley quit Parkhead for Brighton last summer but still keeps close tabs on his former club Former Celtic striker Anthony Stokes has made a shock return to football by signing for Conor McGregor's pub team. Stokes, 37, has been out of the game since 2020 when he quit Livingston after less than three weeks - blaming Livi's artificial pitch. Since then, ex-Republic of Ireland international has had numerous run-ins with the law and recently avoided jail on appeal for drug dealing and drunk and dangerous driving. But five years since his last professional appearance, former Hibs star Stokes will pull the boots back on for amateur side Black Forge FC. Journeyman Stokes shared the news of the transfer on Instagram, writing: "Better get the dust knocked off the boots." The Dublin-based outfit are owned by former UFC fighter McGregor - who has also pulled on the Black Forge FC shirt. Meanwhile ex- Celtic Treble-winner Matt O'Riley insists the Glasgow club will always hold a special place in his heart. The midfielder spent a trophy-laden two-and-a-half years in Scotland following his bargain £1.5m switch from MK Dons before landing a £25m switch to Brighton last summer. O'Riley - who was linked with Italian champions Napoli last month - endured an injury-hit debut campaign in the Premier League. But the Denmark international is determined to prove his worth for the Seagulls this season. And he revealed he still keeps close tabs on Celtic. He told the Celtic Way:"I still follow all the games. Even though I don't post that much on social media, I'm still watching every single game and trying to keep tabs on them. "I'm still in contact with people. It's hard in football to keep contact with everybody because it moves so fast and things change. "But I did make some good friends up there, and I'm still in contact with a lot of staff at Celtic, which has been nice."
