'Recovering at home', Giorgio Armani to miss fashion show for first time in his career
MILAN, June 20 (Reuters) - Giorgio Armani will not attend his group's two shows at Milan's Men's Fashion Week as he is currently recovering at home, a company statement said on Friday, the first time in his career he will miss one of his catwalk events.
The designer, who will turn 91 in July, will not be at the Emporio Armani catwalk on Saturday or at the Giorgio Armani show on Monday, the statement said. It did not expand on his current health conditions.
Italian newswires reported on Friday that Armani had been in a Milan hospital for some days.
"Mr. Armani has worked with his usual dedication on the collections that will be presented," the company statement said, adding that although he could not be there in person, he will follow every step of the shows.
Known as "Re Giorgio" - King Giorgio - the designer is known for overseeing every detail of his collection and every aspect of his business, from advertising to fixing models' hair as they head out onto the catwalk.
At the end of all his shows, he comes out from backstage and onto the catwalk to greet his audience.
In his absence, Leo Dell'Orco, head of menswear design, will be doing so on his behalf, the group added.

Abbie Chatfield celebrates her 30th birthday 'somewhere in Greece' with partner Adam Hyde - as he freestyles her a sweet celebration song
Abbie Chatfield broke her social media embargo this week to celebrate her 30th birthday. The influencer announced last week that she was taking a month off all online platforms after a year of incessant trolling. But Abbie was back on Instagram on Friday to reflect on her 30 years on the planet. She shared an expansive carousel of throwback images from her past, augmented with 20 things that she wished she knew at 20. Captioning the post, Abbie revealed that she and boyfriend Adam Hyde were living it up 'somewhere in Greece.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm excited to be 30,' she wrote. 'I've never been scared of ageing. Every day I learn and grow, so what's there to be scared of? 'I'm proud of myself for the woman I am, and I am excited to meet the woman I will become. She continued: 'I'm happy that I made it this far. Here's what I wish I knew at 20 as I enter my 30s. Abbie then went on to impart several pearls of wisdom that she has picked up along the way, including the ability to 'feel your feelings'. 'Don't over-intellectualise,' she wrote over an image that showed her engrossed in a book. 'Don't numb yourself with your favourite vice. It takes practise to process emotions. The more you do it, the more you learn. That is true resilience.' She also emphasised the importance of keeping a daily journal as a way of making sense of the world. 'UNFORTUNATELY, journaling every day helps,' she imparted. 'It can be painful and daunting, but it is much like massaging a knot in the muscles. Abbie then went on to impart several pearls of wisdom that she had picked up along the way including the ability to 'feel your feelings' 'At first it hurts and you will want to stop but you must persist until you feel the tension ease. Write freely without restriction or expectation. She also reiterated the importance of telling people close about feelings, adding: 'Tell people how you feel as often as possible! It will free you and save you pain! And the outcome could be better than worst case. Better than you imagine' She also waxed lyrical about the importance of keeping fit, but only up to a point. 'DO NOT exercise to punish yourself. Don't exercise out of pure vanity. Move to feel good. Dance, run, walk, stretch, do a star jump Whatever!' she exclaimed 'Exercise changes your life for the better, but only if you're listening to your body and enjoying it! Another life lesson Abbie imparted was the importance of recognising the transient nature of life. She wrote: 'Very few things in life are permanent, least of all your emotional state. When it's hard, don't panic, because change is coming. When it's easy, be grateful, because change is coming.' She also had some sage words for people in relationships too, adding: Relationships SHOULD NOT be hard! They are "work" yes, but hard is not the word. 'When there is natural love and respect, issues do not linger or fester. The person you are with should make you lighter.' Abbie's wise words were augmented by a catchy clip of boyfriend Adam Hyde celebrating his ladylove with an impromptu song. 'Birthday baby, it's the birthday queen,' Adam began singing over a simple beat while a bikini-clad Abbie danced seductively in the background. Adam's romantic tribute was full of swoonworthy lines guaranteed to make anyone's knees buckle. 'She's the best looking woman on top of the entire world, she sings for the men and she sings for the girls,' he sang. He continued: 'Every time I see her, I just want to weep, because she's more pretty than my favourite poems. '30 years young with wisdom on her tongue, you know she is my favourite, she's the world's favourite song.' Abbie also showed off her musical talent in the video, singing back up vocals of 'It's my birthday', as Adam continued his serenade. Adam's post was met with a flurry of comments from fans - with more than a few suggesting a full studio release. 'Bro, this is sooo catchy, I'm vibing,' one follower quipped while another jumped in with a similar: 'Release this NOW! Omg happy 30th bday Abbbbbbz.'
