Giorgio Armani's star is shining bright in the land of the rising sun. The Italian style guru, who has been honoured at a series of glitzy events in the past year, jetted into Tokyo on Thursday to soak up a little more glory.
The silver-haired designer journeyed to the Japanese capital for the opening of a new exhibition of his work. Giorgio's 30-year career is being celebrated with a retrospective of his creations in the city's spectacular Mori Museum.
The expansive gallery, which is housed in the top two floors of the Mori Tower, commands staggering views all the way to Mount Fuji. But for the next few days visitors to the venue will be focusing their attention on some 300 of Armani's most impressive gowns.
Just a few months ago the 70-year-old was congratulated by stars including Michelle Pfeiffer and Kate Hudson after receiving a lifetime achievement award at New York's Night Of Stars gala. And before that Harrison Ford and Samuel L Jackson led the tributes when he became the first inductee on the Rodeo Drive Walk Of Style.
