Giorgio Armani to Miss Runway Shows As He's ‘Recovering' at Home
Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani will miss the brand's next two runway shows because he is 'currently recovering' at home, his eponymous company said in a statement on Friday. The 90-year-old, who worked on the collections for the fashion shows, will follow the events remotely, the company said, without elaborating on the reason for his convalescence. Leo Dell'Orco, the head of the label's menswear design, will take Armani's place to greet attendees at the end of the shows on Saturday and Monday, it said. Armani, who founded the Milanese house in the mid-1970s, is widely credited with having pioneered the unstructured power suit. He also recast menswear and broadened the womenswear range. One of the richest people in the fashion industry, his net worth stands at about $9 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

I hired my father to work at my company. I worried it would ruin our relationship, but it brought us closer.
My father and I have a generally good relationship. But when the opportunity to merge our professional forces and work together presented itself, I was concerned. I had slowly been growing my public relations agency, Chirichella Associates, based in Italy, which I began in 2021. My specialty is working with female-run businesses and Italian businesses. My company started growing very quickly, and I began receiving requests on a weekly basis. I knew that soon, I wouldn't be able to handle it all, and I didn't want my work to suffer. I was going to need to bring someone on. That's when I turned to my father, a public relations executive with over 30 years of experience. I worried about what hiring him would do to our relationship I knew he was the right man for the job, but I wasn't sure it was the best idea to bring him on board as my new coworker. We already lived in the same town in Italy, just a 10-minute walk apart. We saw each other daily, whether for dinner or picking up my kids for a trip to the park. I kept asking myself: Would working with my father be a good long-term idea? Would it be so bad that it would just be a short-term solution? How could it damage our relationship? Would we spend too much time together and end up hating each other? Accepting the unknown, I decided to hire my father to help out at my agency despite my concerns. Thankfully, hiring him was for the best After nearly two years of working together, our relationship is stronger than ever. Being coworkers has given us the opportunity to see one another in a different light. Now, we have a newfound respect for one another. My father, for example, sees who I have become as someone passionate about my career. He sees it firsthand when we get on calls with clients and when we have strategy meetings. He sees the effort I put into everything I do, and he sees how open I am to his feedback. I now see my father as someone I can learn from. He's been in this business for decades, so he has so much to teach me. I'm constantly looking to learn and grow, and who better to learn from than my father, who happens to be my coworker? I also have gotten the chance to see my dad in a different light. I see how hard he works and how much time and effort he puts into every pitch, every strategy, and every client. I never saw that part of my dad, the public relations executive. I now love working alongside my dad My father and I meet regularly, whether on Zoom calls with clients or brainstorming sessions. Some of those sessions will be done out of our office, or maybe I will work from home that day, and we'll share a coffee discussing a media strategy as my toddler runs circles around us. It's funny because when I was a little girl, I didn't really know what my dad did for work. All I knew was that he put on a suit every day and worked in a big skyscraper in Manhattan. But now I see all the effort that he put into his work. All that passion was to make sure he gave our family the best possible life. Now, we get a chance to share that life together, as father and daughter, and as coworkers.

EU and Italy announce major debt-relief deal for Africa
Italy is working with the European Union on a debt-relief plan for African countries, as part of its broader push to foster development on the continent and address the root causes of irregular migration. " The entire 10-year operation will allow us to convert some 235 million euros ($270.67 million) of debt into development projects to be implemented locally," Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, said. In addition to the EU-led efforts, Italy is advancing its strategic framework, the Mattei Plan for Africa, which aims to accelerate growth in agriculture, energy, and infrastructure across African nations, according to Reuters. The European Union's involvement complements these efforts through its Global Gateway strategy, launched in 2021 to foster sustainable, high-standard investment as an alternative to China's Belt and Road Initiative. One of the flagship projects under this collaboration is funding for a new transport corridor connecting Angola's Lobito port with Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a crucial mineral export route. "Investing in infrastructure is not just building railways, bridges and dams. It is also investing in training for local workers because that builds capacity and that is how transfer of expertise happens. And this results in positive spillovers all across the local economies of Africa. There is no better example than our work on the Lobito corridor," President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen said. Meloni also stressed the urgency of addressing Africa's growing debt burden, warning it could 'undermine all other efforts' toward inclusive and sustainable development if left unaddressed. She revealed that a new initiative is being developed to reduce the debt load of low- and middle-income African countries by up to 50%. While she did not provide specific details, she emphasized that addressing debt was central to Italy's broader strategy for fostering long-term growth and stability in Africa.
