Congratulations New Yorkers, you now have the luxury of an Armani flagship store right in the heart of the gloriuos Fifth Avenue. Last night’s opening bash party included many famous faces such as Victoria Beckham, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chace Crawford, Alicia Keys, Peaches Geldof and Josh Hartnett, the face of Emporio Armani fragrance ‘Diamonds for Men’.

“He speaks a lot more English than he lets on, and he’s really funny,” said Victoria Beckham.

“You get the feeling he’s a lover of every kind,” said Alicia Keys; apparently a big fan of Armani’s designs as she wore them during her last tour.

Indeed the crowd seemed to be a great mix of European and American modern icons, all looking stunning in their Armani outfits. The only let down was an incredible lack of drama. Even Mrs Beckham seems genuinely happy to be there with her Mona Lisa smile – a truly remarkable difference to her usual pursed lips.

Chace Crawford seems to be the only other Gossip Girl star not yet mentioned in this blog, and I am so happy now that he is making a fashion-related appearance in the world! Damn, he rocks that Armani suit well.
