I am sad that Robbie is not part of TT30. I so loved Progress and the tour :-(

 

 

Progress was just the best. :heart:

 

It was a wonderful moment in pop history and I loved it from beginning to end.

 

It's still a great album. B-)

RPT-Milan's fashion flies high with Emporio airport show and Robbie Williams

 

 

MILAN, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Emporio Armani touched the sky with its spring summer 2019 collection by showcasing the fresh and airy looks on the runway of Milan’s Linate Airport and ending the night with a performance by British pop artist Robbie Williams.

 

Thousands of guests on Thursday had to check-in, pass security and be escorted by airport staff to reach a shiny black runway built on the airport’s tarmac, in the hottest ticket of Milan’s fashion week.

 

As the night fell on the show, planes landed in the background, some even parking close to the temporary fashion venue.

 

 

 

Williams wore a sparkling black tuxedo coat matched with a pleated skirt and black sneakers - “can you imagine Armani’s face when I emailed him what I wanted to wear?” the singer told the ecstatic crowd.

 

The artist entertained the cheering and dancing audience with his greatest hits, including his latest single “I Love My Life”, as well as George Michael’s “Freedom.” He dedicated Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” to 84-year-old Giorgio Armani, closing the song saying, “You did it your way” and inviting him on stage.

And the extensive Emporio collection that preceded the singer’s show, with hundreds of outfits for both men and women, indeed travelled through the iconic traits of the world-famous designer: easy fits as well as sophisticated looks, the use of different fabrics, both smooth nuances and bold colours, soft feminine cuts and rich details.

 

Accompanied by the notes of Louis Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World,” a video with an airplane taking off and a bird’s eye view of Milan’s most famous landmarks set the scene for the show. A giant screen surmounting the square catwalk, lined with fluorescent blue lights, projected Emporio Armani adverts.

 

Male models, dressed like surfers and carrying their boards, opened the runway show for what was a 20-minute long spectacle of colours, fabrics, shapes and combinations for the new collection of Emporio, one of Giorgio Armani’s clothing lines.

 

Emporio, which last year absorbed the brands Armani Collezioni and part of Armani Jeans, last September had shun the Milan fashion week, showing its collection in London in the brand’s renovated Bond Street store.

 

Sports-inspired layered looks, with lightweight windbreakers and anoraks were alternated with casual looks with ankle-high trousers worn under comfortable cotton jumpers. Models carried light backpacks and wore glasses and hats with flat shoes or sneakers on their feet.

 

Soft hues were broken with black trousers matched with white men’s jackets and sailor-like models wearing blue trousers and wide light blue jumpers with “E” and “A” lettering on them opened the way to brighter colours.

 

Designs included denim overalls, pastel pink matched with lime green. Classic pinstriped blue suits for him were paired with brightly coloured striped short dresses for her.

 

Deep plunge black dresses with blue fringes and flower embellishments were followed by sparkly green outfits.

 

In a merry-go-round of colours and shapes on the catwalk designs seamlessly turned from easy-going outfits to sequined evening wear dresses, in a breathtaking show that appeared like a trip through Armani’s design books over the years.

 

And like all the best trips, it ended with an airport shuttle bringing you back home.

 

“Have a wonderful night and keep flying with us”, read an Emporio Armani panel with an eagle logo at the exit of the airport.

 

Milan Fashion Week runs until Monday with runway shows from luxury group Tod’s, celebrity acclaimed Versace, Cavalli and Dolce & Gabbana still to show their collections in the next days. (Reporting by Giulia Segreti; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)

Robbie Williams entertains at Emporio Armani’s airport show

 

ROBBIE WILLIAMS ENTERTAINS

 

Robbie Williams feted the Emporio Armani fashion crowd in a sequined kilt and black Giorgio Armani T-shirt. “Come to Milan and get a free skirt,” Williams joked. “Imagine that phone call. ‘He wants to wear what?!’”

 

Williams sang a full concert, pleasing the crowd with his hits, starting with “Let Me Entertain You,” and also striking sentimental notes with a tribute to George Michael, the late pop singer, and bringing his father, a performer himself, out for a duet to “Sweet Caroline.”

 

 

Williams said it was watching his father perform that song as a boy that made him want to become a performer himself.

 

To close the set, Williams beckoned Armani to the stage and knelt nobly before the designer, calling him “a legend.” He dedicated the final number, Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” to Armani, singing the final chorus, “You did it your way.”

In the hangar of the Linate airport, Robbie Williams enchants the audience at the court of King Giorgio Armani

 

Magical and engaging. Irreverent and spectacular. The list of adjectives could be much longer to describe the performance that Robbie Williams gave the 2400 guests at the Emporio Armani fashion show at Linate airport. The evening began with check in and security checks as a real flight to give access to the hangar that for over 20 years is dominated by advertising images of the house.

 

"Is anybody there !! I can not hear you. Are Milan ready !! " It appears written on the maxi-screen where until recently the collections of the collections were shown for him and her, for the next summer, for the first time together. And then again "Let me entertain you!" (Which is the title of the first song) followed by the unmistakable black silhouette, on a red background sends the 2400 guests present in delirium turning the Linate hangar into a building.

 

The long-awaited international star is the English singer who shows up on stage with a black t-shirt, shiny jacket and kilt used occasionally to show the public its "side b"

 

" Let me introduce myself. My name is Robbie Fuc *** Williams. And tonight you are mine »says the singer before adding " This is my ass " standing up his kilt and showing his" side b "as he begins to sing on the notes of" Monsoon ".

 

A musical show full of emotionally involving moments: "I am not a homosexual. But for my George Michael, I would have been at least a little bit . I miss you George, "says Robbie Williams before playing the song" Freedom "by his friend who died in December 2016.

 

And then the continuous involvement with the public teasing unlikely fans of Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake, until the test on the knowledge of his songs that has earned "Fe-de-ri-ca", as he pronounced him, a kiss in mold.

 

The evening also gave a duet of the "Williams", son and father together remembering when Robbie, as a boy, he went to see him perform on stage.

 

Until the grand finale with the embrace of Giorgio Armani : «A living legend» defined the singer. And this evening too confirms it.
