Giorgio Armani, 91, is a well-known Italian designer who died last year in a candid interview about having a crush on another person.

The young Giorgio’s relationship with a supervisor was a significant turning point at summer camp, even though he had already lost his virginity to a girl. His “life took a different turn” from that point forward.

Giorgio, who was born in the northern Italian town of Piacenza, had hopes of becoming a doctor when he was younger, but it turned out that life had other plans. Although he was a relatively private individual, he did occasionally offer insight into how he ended up treading his own special and glittering path. He lived a truly extraordinary life, filled with glamour, creativity, and renown.

Giorgio said, “I’ve never talked about this in a 2024 interview with Corriere della Sera. At five in the afternoon, when all the camp boys were supposed to have a little quiet time, it happened underneath a shed on the beach at Misano.

He continued, “I was in a group of boys, and there was a young man who I immediately attracted to as a supervisor.” At the time, I didn’t pursue it because I didn’t fully understand it. But right away, my life changed.

At the time, I didn’t distinguish between men and women. I was simply drawn in by his presence, something beautiful, and I couldn’t wait to touch him. I still have a very emotional memory of this.

The billionaire would later go on to become one of the richest and most prominient LBGTQ+ businessmen in the world, and his loss has been deeply felt within the fashion community.

The Armani Group announces the passing of its founder, founder, and tireless driving force, Giorgio Armani, with “unending sorrow.” Il Signor Armani passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones, as he was always greeted with respect and admiration by employees and collaborators. He dedicated himself to the company, the collections, and the numerous ongoing and pending projects up until his final days, enduring his incomparable dedication to the end.

He “established a dialog with the public throughout this journey, becoming a beloved and admired figure through his ability to make connections with everyone.” He has been active on numerous fronts, especially in support of his beloved Milan, always taking into account the needs of the community.

“We can talk about what will be happening soon; I know you have questions, but I’m going to have to wait until this week because I’m a little busy,” I reply.

Olivia’s Instagram rant didn’t reveal who she was talking about. Ryan’s former friends are “simply no longer working” together, according to sources close to Ryan’s source who told the Mirror. “There wasn’t any toxicity, betrayal, or fallout between the pair,” according to sources.

With school term kicking off, parents are likely looking for a life-saving hack to keep school uniforms smelling fresh and new all year round without breaking the bank. Cleaning experts may have just the ticket with this £7.75 detergent.

To assist parents in keeping costs low this September, the experts at household cleaning and personal care brand Method have devised a series of ingenious tips and tricks to ace the back-to-school refresh, injecting new life into tired and worn-out school essentials. There’s a simple, affordable solution to revitalise them – and it costs just 24p per wash.

According to ITV, the average school uniform now costs over £92, and that’s just for the compulsory items. Throw in shoes, bags, and PE kits, and the final figure keeps on rising.

So, it’s no surprise that more families are turning to secondhand treasures from clothing banks, charity shops, and hand-me-downs to keep expenses low. While reusing and repurposing old uniforms is a win for wallets (and the environment), it often brings its own challenges – from peculiar odours and stubborn stains, to fabrics that have lost their lustre.

That’s where the cleaning experts at home and personal care brand Method step in, with clever ways to rejuvenate school gear and reset for September. Here’s how to keep uniforms (and your sanity) in check and selling like they’ve come straight off the shelves, this academic year.

Hand-me-downs and charity shop treasures are great for the purse strings, but they don’t always have the freshest scent. The silver lining? This expert-recommended detergent only sells for £7.75, which gets you 33 washes.

Simply toss them into the washing machine with a capful of your preferred laundry detergent, like Method’s concentrated laundry detergent in Peony Blush. This potent formula eliminates musty smells and leaves behind a long-lasting, fruity-fresh aroma, making clothes smell brand new. It’s also gentle on fabrics, helping to preserve the quality and colour of garments with each wash.

A 20-degree cycle is all you need—it’s kind to clothes and colours and better for the environment, too. With up to x33 washes per bottle, it’s a cost-effective way to make every pound go further and give those secondhand gems a much-needed Method makeover.

Shoppers have given this detergent plenty of 5-star reviews, with one buyer beaming, “Best laundry detergent. It smells amazing and leaves your clothes spotless.”

Another customer writes: “Wash very well, amazing perfume, small amount with maximum effectiveness.”

And a third chimes in: “I am only using this product at the moment. Each scent is really lovely, and clothes are clean and fresh after washing.”
