FASHION Magazine

It’s the last day of Milan Fashion Week. Am I blue? Not at all, but Giorgio Armani certainly is as he closed the week with a calm, serene show full of dark, inky hues. The collection mixed a new silhouette of short cropped jackets layered over long skirts and dresses, or, sometimes, over shorter skirts and narrow pants. With sheer fabrics, turban hats, flat sandals, a ruffle here and sequins there, Mr. Armani had his audience enraptured. (George Clooney in the front row didn’t hurt.)

Calm seemed to be the word of the day.

George Clooney was recently in court in Milan testifying against the people who claimed he was starting the clothing line “GC Exclusive.” He denied the legitimacy of a photo of himself with the defendant (whom he supposedly never met) on a sartorial claim: “I also don’t wear long jean shorts.” [The Cut]

George Clooney was, happily, still in Toronto on yesterday for the premiere of Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air, in which Clooney stars alongside Jason Bateman, who is sadly not in our gallery below. But George is! Along with co-stars Melanie Lynskey and Anna Kendrick. Check out the red carpet pics after the jump.

George Clooney may or may not have indulged in pasta at Jack Astor’s. We also hear he dined with Michael Caine at George–right downstairs from our offices. Curses! [Toronto Life]
