Watch Giorgio Armani Privé on the runway – the Haute Couture Fall Winter 2011/2012 Collection by Giorgio Armnani, shown as part of Paris Fashion Week at Palais de Chaillot on July 5, 2011 in Paris, France. This year Giorgio Armani decided to use his creative talents to reach out to the victims of Japan’s recent earthquake and tsunami. The designs were inspired by Japan’s cultural heritage and featured floral silk prints, kimono-style dresses, geisha hairdos and other Japanese visual symbols like the traditional fan and the cherry blossom. Armani is donating funds to a UNESCO scholarship program to help child victims of Japan’s natural disaster. Armani’s show boasted such front-row VIPs as Cate Blanchett, Daphne Guinness and Katie Holmes, who jumped from her seat to give a solo standing ovation at the end.
