Designer to the stars Giorgio Armani is renowned for dressing some of the best looking men on the planet, and so it came as no surprise that the audience for his Milan catwalk show on Wednesday was almost as eye-catching as the collection being showcased.

Sitting front row was handsome British actor Clive Owen. And the Children Of Men star, who was recently appointed the 'face' of Lancome's male grooming range, was suitably dressed for his sartorially-focused outing in a grey stripe Nehru-collar shirt and a high-button velvet jacket. His look echoed the Italian designer's vision for autumn/winter 2007/8, which includes several designs of luxurious velvet jacket in rich purple and green hues.

Clive, who has been a fan of Armani since the designer personally made him a suit for the 2005 Oscars, admires the Italian label's classic elegance. "I've always liked Giorgio Armani because I admire nice, understated clothes - nothing shouting out that I'm a serious fashion guy," he says. "I don't follow trends, and Armani is perfect for that. He is subtle, elegant, and doesn't chase the scene."

Another star also sending female pulses racing at the show was bullfighter Cayetano Rivera, the face of Armani's made to measure lines. The dashing Spaniard closed the show, taking to the catwalk alongside Giorgio's niece Roberta in a slim-fitting tuxedo with innovative lapels.
